FLAVOR: Criminal Intent
CHARACTERS: G/E
WORD COUNT: 118 (Received the lecture but did get it down from original 172)
RATING: M (Language)
Stopped at the curb, Alex rocked back on her heels.
“Inappropriate footwear,” Bobby flicked a cigarette in the street, where it exploded in a shower of sparks.
“Nasty habit,” she jerked away from his protective hold.
Cars went by in a torrent of clunkers, Mercedes, pickups, vans and taxis jockeying for position. New York was noise--underground rumbles of trains and steam pipes, street level grinding of motors along with a million people’s voices most on cell phones.
All congealed in steamy heat. “It’s too damn hot.”
A taxi splashed through the puddle in the gutter. Filthy water sluiced over the curb. Bobby jumped back escaping unscathed. Alex, without Bobby's hand paid with her Zanotti boots.
She swirled to face him pointing a finger, “NOT A WORD.”
Hands rose in surrender.
