Two weeks was all it took.  Two weeks and the house was a complete disaster....projects of all different types were scattered around, littering nearly every horizontal surface in various stages of completion.  Such was Reese Clancy two weeks off the job.  She'd finished up a con with a group that had proven to be just as lucrative as originally promised....which didn't always end up being the case.  But Ashe had taught her well and the reputation she had earned after that ensured that she worked with a high enough caliber of gryfter that this didn't happen very often.<br/><br/>With a loud sigh the redhead dropped onto her couch and stared at her newest toy.  It took up nearly the entire wall....88.5 diagonal inches.  It was called a Multi-Touch Wall.  It was similar technology to what made iPhones and the like work.  Only this was much, much bigger.  Reese liked working on the screen. It made designing new equipment much more efficient and quick.  On the screen at that moment was yet another gadget that wasn't quite done.  She was bored now.  All of the projects would be useful at some point....but she was missing the rush of the job.<br/><br/>At this point she was even considering going out and running a few short cons just to have something to do.  Maybe Ashe wasn't busy.....maybe she could call him...then borrow her neighbor's dog.  They could run the Dog in the Bar Con.  That was usually pretty reliable....and there were a number of bars she hadn't run it on.<br/><br/>Just as she was considering getting up to look for her phone to see what Ashe was up to, she heard it begin to buzz.....the sequence telling her it was a text message rather than a phone call.  Up on the wall, a window popped up and displayed the message.<em>Bluetooth is a wonderful thing</em>, she thought.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Alan</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Reese. If you're interested, I have a potential job. Small team, long con, low violence. Find me above Arsenio's Arcade, near Elephant and Castle.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Standing up, Reese went to the wall and called up a street map of London....looking for the arcade mentioned.  Alan was a smart guy and a good gryfter.  A proper villain as some would say.  And even though men weren't her type...she had to admit that he was kind of cute when dealing with women not on his team.  Calling up a small keyboard, she tapped out a response and sent the text response back.....letting Alan know to expect her in the near future.<br/><br/>"Ok then.....," she said.  Turning, she headed for the bedroom to get cleaned up.<br/><br/>About an hour later Reese stepped out of her loft and headed down to the garage to pick up her car.  Elephant and Castle wasn't terribly far away and it didn't take all that long to find the arcade.  As she walked down the sidewalk and into the arcade, her heels clicked loudly on the hard concrete. Her red hair was pulled back into a single braid and she wore understated clothing that still managed to accentuate her figure.  Her nose picked up the smell of expresso....and she smiled.  Following that smell would lead her to Alan....which is exactly what it did.  She stopped in the doorway when she found a rather attractive blonde in the room Alan was occupying.  A smirk spread over her face and she leaned against the door jam.  "Well, Well Alan......you've been a busy boy."<br/><br/>
