Alright, so, I really didn't want to post any of my Novel until it was finished, but I've been working on this scene that I'm just not sure how to end. Maybe seeing it in a different medium will help me. Also, I'm just not quite sure how to do this. I want to have dialogue between people who are having a conversation and people who are eeves dropping at the same time. So this is it.
Sargeant Sacker was suddenly aware of himself. He felt a little spacy. He blinked and looked around the parkinglit. It was deserted. Had something happened? Sacker didn’t recall any trouble. He shook his head, trying to clear it deciding he must have spaced off. It wasn’t surprising, everything considered. It was, after all, getting hard to keep track of everything.
“What’s going on?” Stone asked.
“He hasn’t arrived yet,” Adine said. “Quiet, we need to listed.”
Stone sat in the back seat of the spy’s car. Blue Mage and Adine sat in the front. Blue Mage was listening with Sacker’s right ear, and Adine his left.
They heared Sacker’s footsteps going down the hallway.
Eventually they heard the sound of a door opening.
“You’re late,” a voice said.
Blue Mage perked up.
“That’s Scalopus,” he mouthed. Adine nodded and they continued to listen. Sacker continued speaking.
“Yes, sorry about that. It seems to be one of those days. Let’s get down to business, shall we?”
“Sure,” said Scalopus distastefully. “And lets do so as fast as possible.” There was clearly no love lost between the two men.
“So, what’s the buzz?” Sacker asked.
“We appear to be running into a lot of problems. Most of which are coming from your little private-eye, Miss Quinn,” he said with a sneer.
“I thought that Tyr had taken care of that.”
“She’s alive. One of my agents kept rescuing her. And it’s a good thing too. We need her alive. She has Ingraham’s object.”
“What? She looked my right in the eye and lied. I should have known.”
“No, she didn’t even know she had it,” Scalopus said. “It was in the mail.”
“We didn’t check her mail?” Sacker asked.
“We couldn’t get into the mailbox without causing a much larger scene than was necessary. Her doorman is very attentive. It would have turned attention on Charlotte Quinn herself, not just the case she was working on. She’s a lot of trouble.”
“Well, she’s good at her job. People who are good at their job are usually a lot of trouble.”
“Like I said, it’s a good thing that Tyr didn’t kill her. Ingraham’s object only works when it is freely given.”
“Well, Charlotte’s not likely to do that,” Sacker said. “Charlotte is an unearthly kind of stubborn.”
“We’ll find a way to convince her.” Scalopus sounded confident. “We can’t do away with Charlotte Quinn, but we can eliminate some other of our problems.”
“Like what?”
“More of a who.”“One of my agents has been giving me trouble.
