Carmen had the taxi stop off by her apartment so she could get changed into something more practical. (by her standards.)  Black leather pants, a tight white T-shirt, and black boots with a little extra heel.  She put on a denim jacket, and gave herself the obligatory glance in the mirror before leaving.  Everything but the jacket hugged her figure nicely, but not so tight as to impede movement.  Stylish and practical didn't always have to conflict.<br/><br/>She folded up her dress and put it in a gym bag, in case she had to go back to the casino tonight, or look fancy for any other reason.  She then headed to Mike's and sat down at a small table, ordering a bloody mary.  She sipped it patiently, waiting for her contact to arrive, keeping her ears open for drifting rumors.
