Connections, Money and Secrets [Almaz]

[Jacob]

There was a way about this one.  The spider that caught the files and ate their heads of their mates -- except that was the praying mantis.  But this woman was worse than a Black Widow.  He liked her despite her record.  This is why he didn't chat up the marks -- it made them human.  But Nox as already like a son to him.  Served him right that doing the right thing was going to be so hard.

But when she dropped the fact so effortlessly that Aurora was dead Jacob stared blinded by it.  How?  What the fuck did he do?  He was going to kill him for that alone.  She offered him the roll and he took it without hesitation.  He did indeed know her name.  "Oriena Rusayev, proprietor of Kallisti."  He took a long draw of the offering and handed it back and with his exhale he smiled. "Jacob Dean." He offered his hand politely to the lady.  He didn't expect her to know his name. 

An arm snaked around Oriena's shoulders and a man leaned down and placed a kiss on her cheek like.  It took him a moment to recognize Nox through the outfit, hair and make up.  Jacob blinked in surprise until he saw the glare of burning daggers bearing down on him.  There was a moment of fear before Jacob reached up and brushed the snake that pressed against his chest unseen.  He smirked.  "Speak of the devil."
