Her investigation wasn't going well. Although she had devoted all of her considerable time and resources to cornering the scum that were moving human chattle through the docks, they always seemed to be one step ahead of her. They moved their product before she could get the warrants to search, since the police department was overburdened and undermanned. How was she supposed to succeed, when everything was against her? It was frustrating, and that was one of the many reasons that she spent so many of her evenings in dives like this one. Back when she'd had a partner, it hadn't been quite so bad, since she could talk about the difficulties with someone who was allowed to know about what they were doing. Now though...
The clear liquid in the shot glass smelled like paint thinner, and she didn't look at it as she lifted it to her lips and knocked it back. The vodka always made her think of her mother, who was a borderline alcoholic these days, and had been for a number of years. Talia wasn't one to point fingers in that arena, and she chuckled to herself as that thought crossed her mind. As much as she had resented her mother for being a drunk, Talia was hardly better. Still, she would have defied anyone with her job to do it without drinking to blow off steam. She was working in a corrupt police department, one of the few straight cops in a crooked city.
Summoning the bartender with two fingers, she nodded to her glass and ordered another without a word. The burly man poured her another drink with a small smile. She was one of his favorite customers, since she never started fights and she always paid. It only took those two qualities to make him like her, considering that they were rare traits in a neighborhood like this one. If it wasn't for the fact that he had seen her beat the shit out of more than one drunk, he would probably have come onto her himself. She was among the more attractive regulars that he had.
Speaking of which...
The hand that rested on Talia's tattooed shoulder was not unexpected, but also not welcome. She took another shot before glancing up at the tall, gangly man who stood behind her.
"Hey, pretty lady," he said, his voice low and dangerous.
"I recommend you do not touch me," Talia replied, her accent more pronounced because of the drinks she'd already had.

IT'S A SHOUT TO THE VOID.
PHARAOH LEAP.
