What the hell did that even mean? Vacations were for people who actually had time to spare. They were for people who didn’t have to worry about turf wars between newbies with ball sweat for brains. They were for people who didn’t spend hours filling out paperwork while cursing the overflowing ashtray as they chain smoked. They were for people who didn’t have to sit through three hour weekly meetings with the Courts over why it was ‘collateral damage’ for one of her boys to crash his hell-on-wheels through a Circle K during a car chase.
Vacation wasn’t even a word in her vocabulary. It didn’t sit right. There was always too much to do. In fact, at that very moment, she was lighting up at the very idea of some Court Appointed Suit running her unit. God, it’d be a fuckin’ mess when she returned.
And all for what? Because that city slicker in New York thought he’d play a prank on her and pull a few strings to get her some time off? She really needed to retaliate one of these days—when she had time.
Smoke expelled from pale lips, drifting and dissipating above. Shadows from the buildings to either side of her mixed and jerked; they blinked in and out with the glow from a lone and dying streetlight. Briefly, red-rusted depths locked on it; she lifted the wide flat brim of her black hat to gander. Squinting, she paused before setting it back in place and moving on.
The chime of her spurs was merely another backdrop of sound in the mix of the city’s murmurs, and the clip of the boots sounded in time with their delay. Black slacks draped over the tops of them; further up and over that a vest of crimson with ebony vine-work covered a seemingly flat chest. A duster was over that, perfect tailored to suit her, made not a of leather, but something finer and without shine.
She settled the fag between her lips a moment before stopping at the entrance to the bar. One Night Stand blared at her on the sign and she found herself contemplating the irony of going in.
“Damned slicker'd likely have a fine day with that,” she muttered, smirking around the cigarette while she adjusted the bolo nicktie on her collar.
She wasn’t adverse to a dive. Dives had been her bread and butter some time ago—long ago. You know, when she didn’t have to use something ‘extra’ to hide the .45 caliber Peacemakers hanging ‘round her hips—when it was odd to see anyone show up in a bar not packing heat… you know, those days.
Long lashes fells over angular and rounded features; they settled briefly as she took another hit off her smoke, half pressing into a bone structure that was of Native American decent. After a final exhale she dropped it, snubbed it, and entered.
Those same rusty-reds scanned in their own way, not stopping on anything in particular as she made her way to the bar.
If Trinity looked out of place, finely dressed out of time—like she’d be better off in a modern western—she didn’t care. The hawks’ feathers sticking out of the hatband, off her ear from a single earing, would have probably labeled her something of a hippie were it not for the rest.
With a sigh, she leaned into the bar… considering. Her hip cocked out, one elbow taking much of her weight.
