OOOH bartender Simon when one of the regulars starts making comments about reader at the bar

Yes

Slight nsfw, someone makes derogatory marks about reader

Simon didn't understand why the man chose to be a regular at his bar. He never spoke much to the lad, Mitch, other than the occasional grunt and "'nother round?" Still, the bloke had been coming to his pub every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night like it was his religion - it very well might've been - spilling his guts over neat whiskey about his failing marriage, his estranged children, and his shitty job. Simon was surprised he managed to keep one, with how much he was drinking on a Sunday night.

"Don't ever get a wife, Simon." Mitch says, fidgeting his empty whiskey glass in his fingers. He'd already come in with a sour expression and droopy eyes - Simon wondered what the topic would be for tonight, but as usual, it steered towards his divorce waiting to happen.

"Already got one." He says, jerking his head to the liquor shelf. "Woodford."

Mitch laughs, letting Ghost take his empty glass and dunk it in the wash basin. "You got anyone waitin' for you after work?"

Ghost clicks his tongue, wiping the condensation off the bar top. "Rather not talk about my personal life 'ere."

"Bah - you need something young n' fresh." Mitch sighs, tapping his fingers against the wood. "Guy like you can't have something too committed, or else your work ethic will suffer."

Ghost grunts as his response. He reminds himself that Mitch was a customer, like everyone else, and he only has to tolerate his yapping for tonight - until next Friday.

Mitch turns his head to look at you, and Simon follows with his eyes: you're standing at a table, bantering with the couple seated there as you take their orders. Hair pulled back into that weird claw clip thingy Simon likes so much, posture relaxed as you leaned on one hip, a soft smile on your face as the couple takes their time placing their orders. He remembers how unfamiliar you were with it all in the beginning, and now it looks like you've been working here for the past ten years. Like you belong in his pub.

"How's she handling the job?" Mitch asks.

Simon shrugs. "Seems t' be managing just fine. Gets away with more shit than I should be allowin' 'er."

Mitch chuckles, looking back at you. "They always do when they look that good." He comments, making Ghost pause. "Price knew what he was doin' hiring her."

He feels his muscles tense subconsciously. "I hired 'er."

Mitch looks back at him, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "Simon, you ol' dog..." he begins, leaning his forearms onto the bartop. "Gotta keep the customers comin' somehow, eh?"

Ghost blinks. "I don't follow." He does; but he's giving Mitch a chance to redeem himself after his insinuation.

"C'mon, was it her face? What she wore to the interview? Did Johhny-boy see her and beg you to hire her?" He leans in towards Simon, who obliges and meets him halfway, just to hear what else the prick will say, so he knows how much damage he can justify.

"I'm telling you - the only reason she probably took the job was, well.." he raises and eyebrow.

Simon waits. "Hmm?"

"You know - three big guys like you lot - not to mention that old brewmaster assistant, Garrick, I know he frequents here... well, any desperate thing like her would be throwing themselves at the opportunity."

He's livid. "Wha' opportunity?"

"Gettin hit from all sides, if you catch my drift."

Ghost nods slowly, biting the inside of his cheek until he tastes blood. He wants to punch a hole through Mitch's chest, but two patrons roughhoused in one week would make Price get on his case. He turns to the bar and grabs a whiskey glass.

"Aww, don't be like that..." Mitch says when he senses Ghost's anger. "I'm sorry. Listen - if you don't want to show her a good time, me and my buddy will. I'll leave my number and you'll give it to her for me?"

"Drink this, sober up, and go home Mitch." Ghost says, slapping the glass of clear liquid in front of the man. Mitch eyes him with a huff as he returns to washing the glasses in the bar sink.

"Fuckin' loser..." he mumbles, grabbing the glass and downing a large gulp - he immediately sputters, the drink spilling all over his front as he coughs and hacks violently. The entire floor looks over at the commotion, you included, standing by the POS and watching with a furrowed brow.

"Fuck- was that goddamn Everclear?!" He rasps.

"I think it's time y' head out, Mitch." Ghost says, leaning both of his hands against the bar. "Call your wife and kids. Stop comin' 'ere every week." He then leans in close, right in front of Mitch's face. "Cuz if I see you back at my bar again, I'm draggin' you out the back myself."

His eyes crinkle with a smile as he claps Mitch on the arm, making him jump from the impact. He quickly gets up off his seat and stumbles towards the front door, sparing one last bitter glance between you and Ghost, before he angrily shoves his way out.

Ghost sighs, putting the Everclear back on the shelf; you walk over right on cue. "What was that about? He ok?"

Simon shrugs, closing Mitch's tab on his POS and assigning an auto-gratuity. "Dunno. Maybe my advice finally got t' the bastard."

A/N: the further continuation of Rory's story, this follows and expands upon the COD: MW2 reboot canon. Told from Rory's POV.

November 3, 2022 17:53 - Fuerzas Especiales base, Las Almas, Mexico

The base had been secured. Shadow Company stragglers removed. The prisoner still held under lock and key — she could be left to sweat a little while longer.

Joints were sore. Bodies bruised. Sweat clung to their backs, behind their knees, and their armpits.

Joints clicked and popped. Arms, legs, and backs were stretched and massaged by rough hands. Sweat smeared their faces as masks were removed, and eyeblack was summarily wiped away. 

As Price stood in front of the bathroom sink, washing away the dried blood that marked his face and arms, sloshing handfuls of water on his skin, Rory lingered in the doorway. She had placed herself on watch duty, leaning against the jamb, her sore shoulder resting against the cool surface of painted wood.

"Don't have to stand there all day, darlin'." The water shut off with the squeak of a tap, the faucet growing silent without the rushing flow. Shaking off his hands, droplets of water plinked against the porcelain of the basin. "I'm fine, Ror," he said, glancing at her reflection in the mirror.

She cleared her throat and sighed heavily, shifting her position to cross her arms over her chest defensively. "I'm well aware you're fine. This is more for my own benefit than yours." Her gaze flickered away to a small portion of darkened grout between tiles on the floor as she scratched at one of the drying flakes of healing skin on her cheek. "Thought I'd lost you there for a mo'."

"Pinch y'rself, might make you feel better."

"Oh it's certainly not a dream, you're still a bit of an arse."

His mouth curled into a wry grin, and a low, husky chuckle echoed in the concrete confines of the lavatory as he turned to face her, leaning against the edge of the sink, mirroring her stance. "How do I look?"

Her eyes roamed over the scratches and abrasions left behind, the reddened skin from the burns on his forehead and forearms, assessing the damage now that the gore had been removed. "Only slightly burnt and buggered." Her lower lip curled into an estimating pout. "Could probably still get good resale value on you."

The gravelly sound of his laughter escaped him once more as he snatched up his boonie hat waiting for him on the counter and ran a hand through his hair. Slipping the hat back on and adjusting it, he tugged it forward so the brim shaded his eyes. His hands, now covered in scrapes and bandages, adding to the collection of scars that marked his knuckles and stood out from the dark hair on the dorsal side, wrapped around the edge of the sink. "So, s'pose this means the cat's out of the bag for us, eh? Can't go on pretendin' like there's nothin' goin' on between us."

Rory scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Oh please, we do a good job on home base keeping things strictly professional, but out in the field we've never exactly been secretive, have we? Having a bit of a snog in front of Si is hardly going to be news to him, love. Besides, gives him something new to banter about. I'm sure Soap and Gaz will have some new quip to toss our way soon enough because of it."

"Oh Christ," he gruffed, "You're not wrong there. Those two are all too happy to give me the bollockin' of the century over any ol' thing."

A knowing grin spread across her lips, entirely too smug, as she tipped her head to the side almost innocently. "Karma, perhaps?"

"Oi!" He barked, pointing a finger at her in an accusatory gesture. "Not you too."

She giggled and moved to meet him at the sink, standing between his muscular thighs as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "My darling, I was the original," she purred, embraced by the warmth of his strong arms coiling against the swell of her hips.

Growling low in his throat, he leaned down to kiss the tip of her nose. "Bloody pain in my arse the whole lot of ya, an' you're the worst one 'cause I can't escape ya."

"Tendrils are in too deep now, eh?"

"Fuck," he rasped. "Are they ever." A slow, lazy smirk curled under his mustache, indenting dimples below the cover of scruff on his cheeks, his gaze warm and glinting with a spark of something they would have to contend with later.

Time seemed to stand still, even as the minutes ticked by, something that always occurred as they held one another in close proximity. The world blurring and fading away until it was just the two of them. The only two people in the world who really understood each other. But, just as rapidly as the sensation of being bound to one another arrived, it was so easily frayed as John pulled away and broke the bond between them.

Drifting her fingers over his barrel chest, stroking the wicking material of his tac top, Rory pictured the scars that lay hidden below, the many close calls they could have had before that she didn't have to see play out in real time. "You know, I don't think things are going to change too drastically for us. You just keep being the same stubborn, gruff bastard you always are, and I'll keep following along."

He curled the rough skin of his trigger finger under her chin, tipping her head back to meet his inscrutable focus. "Tha's my good girl." His voice vibrated through her with a deep rumble as he rested his forehead against hers, their breaths melding in the tenuous space between them.

"Come on, can't be stood here all day. Still have a job to do," he said, moving with purposeful strides towards the door. His focus was no longer distracted, diverted away from the objective. The romance kill switch engaged, allowing him to return to the role of the ruthlessly decisive Captain.

The door to the makeshift holding cell opened with a clanking groan inside the room of corrugated metal walls and lit only by the searing, oppressive gleam of fluorescent lights. The air inside stuffed brimming with a thickness that filled the throat and the lungs. Cotton batting shoved tight inside the confines of a plush animal’s form. Sewn in. Locked inside with the desperate desire to reach in and tear it free. A shoe box for holding an unwanted creature, the lid duct taped on and lacking any of the punched holes. A proper prison to inspire hopelessness.

Solitary confinement. Sensory deprivation. 

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. A term Rory had become all too familiar with during her time serving in the Middle East and working alongside the CIA. A term with deeply Orwellian meaning considering it was the government approved use of sanctioned torture. A thousand and one methods developed to break a person, to incapacitate them, killing their drive to fight back until they were little more than a heap of flesh submitting to order and control. The use of violence, of humiliation. Techniques formulated by the military and psychologists that tore into the human psyche, reshaping them, moulding the mind into something docile. Weakened to the point where self-preservation was a scrap of a memory. Prey to be dragged into the next set of waiting shackles to be bent, bruised, and brutalized. 

She had thought taking a person’s life was the hardest thing to learn to do, but having an education in destroying a person’s mind, their autonomy, was worse. It was a heavy weight that settled in her gut, Medusa’s stare on her soul (if it was one that could even be considered viable enough to be named as such, if it even existed at all). To know that she was capable of performing such tasks, that she excelled at it, was a curse that made it difficult to look at herself in the mirror afterwards. But the fact that disgusted her most was that after so many years of practice the after effects had come to fade, the guilt a stain that could be washed away. Out, damned spot, out… and she had the Oxyclean spray to do it.

The shadowy lengths of the room were haloed by high beams. A single chair sitting empty in the middle of the space. Cliche in its barren minimalism. But, despite the state of the enclosure, the prisoner seemed confident, unburdened by their capture, and even less worried about their future as Colonel Vargas led the 141 inside. The brazen grin, the cocksure composure – Rory didn’t speak Spanish but she could glean that the Colonel and the woman known only to her as Valeria had some shared history. A person didn’t come to spit such vitriol about another without knowing them personally, without having been spurned by them, burned by them. 

Price rested his hands on the body of his rifle, maintaining the portrayal of a man composed despite the fact that his fingers sat a flinch away from gripping the trigger. It was a front that Rory saw right through as she stood there pressed shoulder to shoulder beside Gaz, noticing as John’s lips drew into a stiff, straight line. His gimlet stare swirling like stormy seas about to ravage the shoreline, tearing stone away from rocky cliffs with the power of rushing waves while obscured beneath the shaded brim of his boonie hat.

A beat of silence passed as the bickering between Vargas and Valeria fell away, leaving one woman to stand against a line of soldiers who she had done anything but ingratiate herself to. The broad shoulders filling up the width of the room blockaded the route to the door. No escape. No way out but through. An instant death sentence.

Keep the prisoner’s back to the wall. Make them forget there is a way out. Make them understand that their only means of survival is by the hand of those who serve as warden.

This was the sight of a man who had no respect for the individual who stood before him, restraining himself as he stared down the cartel leader. A violent, criminal pestilence that had sunk herself deeper into the pits of immorality by teaming up with terrorists. One of the lowest of the low in his eyes based off of the fierce gleam like that of a sharpened knife that reflected in his irises. This wasn't like with Hadir, working with AQ with good intentions — a means to an end — this was entirely selfish, through and through, driven by greed and a callous disregard for lives caught in the crossfire.

“You knew there was a third missile.”

“Oh, I didn’t count them,” Valeria replied coyly. “I have people for that.”

“She’s lying.” Vargas’ brows lowered, the darkened depths of his eyes narrowing to slits while dealing with the viper in his midst.

“Where’s Hassan?”

“Where’s the other missile?”

Everyone seemed to be getting their licks in, meanwhile Rory held back. Listening. Watching. There was more to an interrogation than pure intimidation. One had to read the signs, the tells, the tics. Observation was crucial. The difference between a bluff, a bold-faced lie, and the truth wrenched from clenched hands could be as simple as which direction the perpetrator’s eyes slid.

“Chicago.”

No fear. Valeria stared each man straight in the eye as they spoke to her. She didn’t cower, didn’t melt or fade into something timid at the sight of men with at least seventy pounds on her. She was hardened. Steel. Titanium. The mettle on her was astounding. Carrying herself as proudly as the gold chain she wore around her neck, this was no pyrite facade.

Gaz looked between his superior officers, at their unflinching reactions as the information was tossed in their laps. “What the fuck’s going on?”

“I said I’d tell you where he was, I didn’t say I would stop him,” Valeria retorted.

“You fucking scorpion,” Vargas rasped, circling the prisoner. Rage radiated off him in waves, his stare piercing into the side of her skull as he snarled,  “I warned you she would do this, eh?” 

A hard woman, Valeria was the kind of soldier Rory had been warned about throughout her career. The ones who stopped seeing the casualties, the ones who only saw how they could lucratively exploit their position. In the Middle East there had been dozens of them, ones who took up racketeering, who started asking the locals for protection funds. Ones who stopped seeing the objective, stopped caring about security or peace and just aimed to line their own pockets to make life a little easier, not bothered by the burden of conscience.

“I run a business, señores. We grow or we die. It's the way of the world." Shrugging off the carnage she had just unleashed with the ease of an insurance company at the loss of life. All business, nothing personal.

An utter disgrace, Rory thought. Contempt amassing into a slick, sickening knot in her stomach.

“You put a target on your back,” Price warned in a low husk, pointing at Valeria, putting her in her place. Stiff. Solid. Unrelenting. The unstoppable force of the Las Almas cartel having just met the immovable object that was Captain Price. A man just as proud, just as confident in his skills, and only bound and restricted by his own moral code made up of lenient rules to be used as he saw fit.

A cruel smirk curled at his lip as he angled his head to the side – the sharp tilt that began the imminent death roll. Shifting just enough to ease the tension in his knees and back, readying himself for the slow prowl of the beast, sharp eyes bore into the drug kingpin as he assessed the threat up close. 

“No – I put a target in Chicago… Now fucking leave Las Almas and go find it. Fucking assholes, get out of here,” Valeria cursed, gesturing towards the door impudently.

But he didn't move, the tight sneer that pulled at his lips was one that didn’t meet his eyes, hard and flinty as they were. A look that instilled dread in most, the ones who knew what he was capable of. As cold as a winter's night and capable of sucking all the air out of the room like a vacuum.

“Maybe we should give ‘er a moment with the Lieutenant,” Price threatened.

Vargas glanced over at the bulky man in the skull mask – the one most would have expected. “Ghost?”

“No.” 

Price’s gaze raked over to Rory, towards the woman standing inches shorter than everyone else on their side of the room. Stood there looking like she was incapable of harming a fly as she glanced up at the colonel with her big doe eyes, hand clasped upon the left side pocket of her tac vest. The brass knuckles that lay hidden were cold enough to burn her even through material.

“She’s very persuasive, our Rory,” Price said with a slight nod towards the female lieutenant. 

“We’re under strict time limits what with a missile on the loose, and all." Rory shrugged, slipping her hands into the back pockets of her jeans, nonchalant about the whole ordeal. "I’ll happily offer my services.”

As the bodies filtered out, Rory glanced over her shoulder as the last gasp of fresh air filtered in and the door clanged shut harshly behind her. Her first thought was of the small creatures that seemed so sweet and endearing, and their choice of prey — venomous predators. Meerkats and mongoose, scorpions and snakes.

The flinch of the lines tattooed between Alejandro’s brows was more obvious than he must have believed, staring at her like he would be praying for her the next time he decided to go to church. The admittance of her skill as an inquisitor was one that often caused others to fall off balance, as if their world view had been smashed to pieces, victimized by their own eager belief in the mask she wore that crumbled away to reveal the danger that lurked below.

Alejandro looked between Valeria and Rory, accepting the soldier's offer with a nod before turning on his heel to leave, the rest of the 141 following suit.

Ripping open the velcro closure of the pocket of her vest, she pulled out the metal cigarette case she kept on her person at all times and flipped it open. Placing a cigarette to her lips, she slipped the case back in her pocket without saying a word, and then collected her lighter. The smooth metal, cool to the touch, was a familiar weight in her hand as she brought the flame to the tip of her fag.

"Mind if I smoke," she asked, after lighting up. Pointing at the nearby empty chair, Rory flipped the lid of the lighter closed. "Take a seat while you're at it too, yeah?"

The calculating eyes of the drug lord shifted to the chair sitting in her periphery, flicking back up to meet Rory's placid visage as she exhaled a stream of smoke that formed a wispy cloud above their heads, stagnating the air further.

"Go on, then. Best not to have me asking twice." Rory maintained her manners, ever the diplomat in her approach, it was the fact that she could keep some semblance of kindness while threatening a person with bodily harm that made her such a keen interrogator. She didn't resort to name calling unless it was required, she was respectful in her interactions with her target. Until, of course, they started to require a heavier hand and the tools of the trade came out.

Valeria sighed, swaggering over to the folding chair and dragging it over. The screech across the ground was grating, ending in a bang as she slammed the seat down and sat in it. Resting her arms over the back of the seat, she pressed her legs together and leaned to the side, begrudgingly taking part in the exercise she had been forced into with her captors.

"So, you're the one I was warned about, eh?” Rory said, tilting her head to the side, giving the woman before her an appraising look. “Quite the impressive feat taking over a cartel all by yourself. All that ambition… and for what, I wonder.”

“If you're trying to soften me up –”

Scoffing, grey plumes puffed out over Rory's lips. “I'd need a bloody meat tenderizer and the patience of a saint to do that. Trust me, I'm not wasting my time with that palaver. I just want to know where we find Hassan and his missile.”

“What makes you think I'd tell you anything, huh? You've got CIA who can go digging, no?”

“We do, yeah. But that takes so much longer. And we both know that if you play nice then you'll get off a lot easier with the authorities, won't you?” Rory leaned forward, arms crossed over her chest, a smug grin on her face as she tapped off the ashes from the end of her cigarette. “You'll also have a much prettier mugshot.”

Cocking her brow, Valeria angled her head, lifting her chin to give Rory the once over. “You know, a woman of your talents… you could make a lot more in my line of work.”

Rory hummed, lifting her brow in retaliation to the proposal. “No thanks. I'll have to decline that gracious offer. Money's not really what I'm in it for.” 

“Then why do it at all? You think it's some achievement selling yourself like a whore for the government? Who do you think funded the narcos to begin with?”

Patting the other woman's shoulder, Rory stood up straight once more and then moved to stand in front of Valeria as she collected the plastic bag from her tac vest pocket. "I've seen the Sicario films. I'm well aware of what your type is capable of. And while I'm sure Alejandro has done some rather despicable things to get a job done —well, he's not Price. That's the sort of man who proudly claims to be the monster in the dark, the type who has no moral qualms about doing whatever needs to be done to deal with a target. And he's just left you alone in a room with me. So, before you think you're getting out of this unscathed, you should know exactly the type of people you've just pissed off.”

Rory stood there, unflinching, blinking a few times. Unfazed. Lifting her cigarette to her lips, she took a long drag, indulging in the burn of the smoke down her throat and the taste of tobacco and the many carcinogens that set the chemical receptors in her brain alight. “While I do appreciate you trying to play the ethical card with me, pleading to my sense of humanity and all, I'm afraid it won't work.”

Rory rounded Valeria's seat and grabbed the zip ties from her pocket, strapping them to the cartel leader's wrists, binding her hands behind her back and to the chair. The cigarette dangled from her lips as she mumbled around it, making sure the ties were secure, wrenching the closures tighter until they left marks in Valeria's skin. “You see, the man you basically, in no uncertain terms, just told to “fuck off” to his face, happens to be one, Captain Price. And while that name might mean nothing to you, it comes with some hefty history."

The smile Rory gave was too friendly, bordering on saccharine. Too personable. The kind made all the more frightening as the fluorescents glinted in her eyes like the eye shine of a nocturnal animal and she stretched the plastic in her hands out taut.

The instrument of her prey's destruction.

Shoving the door open, Rory hauled a disheveled and sweat-slicked Valeria out of the containment room, leading her towards the row of vehicles where the 141, Colonel Vargas, and Sergeant Major Parra waited.

With the nod of approval from Price, Rory stepped back from the situation, his hand gripped tight to her shoulder, squeezing. Leaning back, his chin pressed to his chest as he looked up at her through his creased brow. A look shared between them that made sure she was present, not still in the mindset of the torturer. Resting her hand on top of his, she interlocked their fingers for a brief moment. A promise that she was still his lamb.

The cartel leader had put up a good fight, holding out just long enough to make Rory work for it. The ragged plastic hanging loosely from the Lieutenant's pocket was proof of that, coated in the condensation of hot breath and salty sweat after being placed over Valeria's head and tightened to the point of slow, agonizing suffocation. It was a method that had never failed in all the time she had started using it, and never left any of the tell-tale signs of violence. No bruises, no blood, but it boosted the fear response. Physical pain wasn't always necessary, but the threat of helplessness, of forcing a person to watch their life slip away with each strained breath, was enough to break most — the head of the Las Almas cartel included.

Striding forward, Rory pushed the stumbling woman along with her. Valeria's arms were still bound behind her back, her feet crisscrossing in front of the other with each step she took, coughing and sputtering out ragged breaths that her lungs were finally allowed take, eyes squinting against the brightness of the sun after being locked away in a windowless room. The eyes of the 141 and Los Vaqueros members tracked her as she led the prisoner to the hand-off. But even after undergoing interrogation, Valeria seemed to bounce back. Reduced to a weakened state for only a short amount of time before the hard guise of arrogance returned. Smirking as her shoulders were grabbed by Alejandro and tossed into the backseat of one of the black armored jeeps.

The moment between them was fleeting before the Captain shifted back into the severe face of a man without mercy for his enemies. “For now, she’s yours…” Price said to Vargas, his head snapping to face Valeria once more, his eyes narrowing in a flash. “But, we’ll be back.”

“I look forward to it.”

Bloody brass bollocks. It was all Rory could think. Even after being held prisoner, threatened, interrogated, she remained unbroken. Stitched back together in moments to stand so steadfast and sure. It would be impressive if Valeria wasn't allying herself with terrorists, if she wasn't out for her own gain.

“You’re going down for what you did,” Soap threatened, his upper lip curled into the sneer of a growling dog.

“It doesn’t matter what I did. It matters what you can prove,” Valeria shot back.

Cartels had their hands in everyone's pockets. They controlled the law, the army, the police, the government. Anything to keep the money flowing and the drugs shifting. A woman like Valeria, someone who had run the show without a face or a name for some time, she would know how to play the game because she knew the rules and how to break them, and much like other gang leaders Rory had come into contact with in her career, she knew how to stay out of trouble. Evidence was everything. Make law enforcement have to jump through enough hoops, get caught at dead ends and trapped in mazes, and it wasn't hard to get away with it all. Eventually they would give up and consider it a cold case.

“It matters what you can prove.” Valeria's voice replayed back at her, albeit more tinny. A voice recording. Held up in Rory's hand, her thumb resting on the playback button.

The narco's eyes narrowed to slits as Rory slipped the recorder into Alejandro's hand. "Got it all on tape," Rory said, meeting Valeria's glare without flinching. "She's not the first of her kind I've dealt with. Doubt she'll be the last. Their overconfidence is a weakness." Patting Vargas' arm, she headed towards the ramp of the waiting plane. "A pleasure doing business with you, Colonel."

It might not have kept her locked up for long, but at least it would help build a case. An audio confession was a powerful thing. Rory knew all too well about the legal ramifications of having a recording straight from the horses mouth about the vile things she had done, the threat she had unleashed on American soil, and how it wasn't the type of evidence that could just be thrown out in court. It was one of the few times she was thankful to have grown up a barrister's daughter, sometimes it gave her tricks up her sleeve to deal with enemies within the red tape.

Price's gaze drifted over his soldiers, ever committed to that visual check to make sure they had come out unscathed before gripping Rory's upper arm and tugging her aside. Leading her to the front of the aircraft towards the cockpit door, he stopped and tucked them into the corner where the drone of the engines would dampen their conversation, not allowing it to travel any further than the two of them.

Funneling onto the transport plane after saying their goodbyes, the squad took their seats and strapped in for the flight ahead to Chicago. The ramp shut with a heavy clash of metal, sealing out the sunlight as the yellowed lights of the interior flicked on. A collective sigh was let out among them all, their game of hide and seek was about to come to an end in the Midwest of the Land of the Free. The sheer toll of the body count possible with not knowing the missile's destination was enough to make a person's stomach drop. The dread was palpable, heavy and insistent, a leaded millstone draped around their necks.

Cigarettes and lighters were passed around, the orange flares flickering to life and burning into ashes just as quickly. A sombre reflection of what they could be looking at if they failed. Tensions rode high as hands clenched into fists or squeezed around weapons as they were cleaned and checked. Music blaring through earbuds as the squad of soldiers otherwise remained silent. Their focus directed to the coming fight and what was on the line.

"Well?" His brows lifted, digging deep trenches into the lines of his forehead. Cigar clamped between his lips, held at the corner of his mouth, swirls of smoke curled from his nostrils.

Rory nodded, confirming that she was able to gather the intel. "Arch Industries Tower in Chicago. The building's owned by a cartel shell company. Apparently, Hassan's taken up shop in a fortified server room with his men, his own personal high-rise bunker. From how it sounds, he's become rather paranoid."

Withdrawing the cigar from his mouth, his jaw clenched, mouth scrunching into a displeased sneer. "Not gonna make it easy to barge in there and get 'im then, is it?"

"No. And considering how he riled up AQ… Botha had said Hassan was unstable to begin with after the death of Ghorbrani, but with a weapon in his hands, and so close to the goal… There's no telling how far his forces will go to succeed."

Rubbing his hand over his mouth, his fingers brushed over his mustache, the whiskers around his lips. and the harsh stubble on his chin. The bottomless blues of his eyes already swirling and storming as he concocted a plan in his head. "Right —" Price gripped at the shoulder straps of his tac vest, flexing out the stiffness in his shoulders and back. "I'll get in contact with Kate. We'll need assistance in short order." His cunning, analytical stare flickered back to her. "Any word where the missile was headed?"

"No. Doubt Valeria cared much to find out." Rory shook her head and tilted her head to the side, pondering momentarily. "Best guess though? — D.C." Hands slipping into the back pockets of her jeans, she worried her lip as she mused further. "Hassan knows it was the United States who ordered the death of Ghorbrani. This is retribution. Revenge. Plain and simple."

"Not so simple when Hassan's gone round the bloody bend though, eh?" Price sighed and curled his gloved hand around her arm once more, tugging her into him. Their bodies pressed together — as close as they could be with armored gear on — and his large mitt came to grip at her nape, holding her near, as he pressed a rough kiss to her forehead. "You did good, my girl," he purred in a gruff murmur against her skin.

Her eyes fluttered shut, gripping at his vest for support to keep her upright, her legs turning to jelly as the fact she nearly lost him crashed over her once more. Inhaling his warm breath scented with the smoke of his cigar, she invited the very essence of him to burrow into her, allowing his praise to melt right into the marrow of her bones.

Too bloody close. She would never let it happen again.

"Ta," she whispered, soft and low. Glancing up at him with a cheeky grin in hopes that it might hide the penetrating fear that had settled and taken root, knowing he'd catch the flicker of it in her eyes anyhow.

His fingers threaded through the choppy strands of her hair, knotting the tresses in his grasp, twisting and pulling slightly as his impenetrable stare seared into her. He had seen it, deep in the warm depths of her eyes, her heart on her sleeve when it came to him.

"Go on," he said, nodding his head towards the seats. "Strap in. I'll get things sorted with Kate and then we brief."

Darting her gaze away, Rory turned on a dime, murmuring a quiet "Yes, sir". It was unbearable to her sometimes to show weakness like that, knowing he could pry it out of her so readily. It was a sign of comfort, but it also made her feel small, powerless. The little girl still clinging tooth and nail to the last person who left.

Day 27: Diamond

Chapter 1 - Negotiation (yeah I went overboard today) Rated Mature, Ialai/Beryl, Sex work, set during Way of Kings Cross posted on ao3

As Beryl changed and readied herself, she wondered one last time whether attending Ialai Sadeas as a Jasnah Kholin look-alike might be a bad idea. However, the Sadeases had an excellent reputation with the other prostitutes, and the pay Ialai’s scribe had offered was substantial, with payment up front. 

She looked in the mirror, holding her trademark diamond spherelamp, which contained the sphere she kept her illusion in. She couldn’t keep it on her clothes, for obvious reasons. The white light also allowed her clients to see her well, which was the whole point of hiring a look-alike. She made sure not to make herself look too uncannily similar. It helped that she was shorter than the princess, and a little younger. She enjoyed wearing Jasnah’s face with clients; she didn’t have to change very much physically, and stepping into the demeanour her clients wanted was often a fun change of pace.

However, most of her clients didn’t know the princess personally like the Highprincess did. That made her stomach flutter. Well, either way, she had a job to do. Head up and confident, she was granted entry into the Highprincess’ inner sanctum.

The room was rich with soft carpets and heavy tapestries, making the room feel smaller than it was. A hearth with a lit fire warmed the room, making the space feel cozy and alive. Elsewhere the room was lit by emeralds, not locked in spherelamps but open in goblets and small bowls–a sign of extravagance and self-assured confidence.

The Highprincess herself was not on the large, soft bed at the centre of the room, but in an overstuffed armchair in the corner. She gestured to Beryl to take the seat opposite her. Beryl acquiesced and placed her little diamond spherelamp on a delicate side table.

Brightness Ialai regarded her with a pleased air. “I admit I’m impressed,” she smiled. “Even down to the havah style. For a moment I thought the bitch herself had found me out. Now, to business. I assume since you accepted my price, you understand I will be asking more of you tonight.”

“Yes, Brightness,” Beryl said, inclining her head in deference. “I was told you would be interested in having me act like the Princess, and you would be spanking me. That’s perfectly acceptable to me, so long as you hit with the flat of your hand, and stick to my stomach, thighs, and ass.”

“Hm,” Brightness Ialai said, tapping her chin. “How about hair-pulling? Not hard enough to hurt, but perhaps enough to surprise.”

Beryl nodded. “Yes, Brightness, that would be fine. I would also ask no fingers or any other objects be put inside me. I have my own tools, but I was told you weren’t interested in them anyway.”

“Yes, that is correct. Although, now that I’m looking at you…” she trailed off thoughtfully.

When Beryl was in the room, sometimes clients thought to try to alter the agreement, and it seemed that Brightness Ialai was no different. 

“Can I come on you?”

An unusual request from a woman, but Beryl would take it. “So long as you provide me a wash basin afterwards. I’ll need to leave presentable.”

“Yes, you will,” Brightness Ialai said in a colder tone. “I’ll want you leaving promptly and without drawing any attention. If there is no talk of your presence here after two days, I’ll send an emerald mark. If there is any talk, I’ll never hire you again. If any rumours arise as to the nature of our contract, I’ll have you whipped.”

That raised Beryl’s eyebrows. “You won’t have to worry about that, Brightness,” she said, feeling unworried. Leaving undetected would be much easier than the Highprincess thought. “In return, of course, you’ll know that if you break any of my rules, your reputation within my network will be burned to the ground.”

Regular clients were best held in check by physical threats; merchants, threats of financial consequences. High-ranking lighteyes could only be held in check by their reputations. Brightness Ialai nodded amiably, already familiar with these standards.

She leaned forward, then, her light green eyes glittering. “You won’t have had occasion to meet Princess Jasnah, so I will tell you that she’s stuck up, judgmental, and thinks she smarter than everyone. I heard that she’ll be moving to the Shattered Plains, so I need to get this out of my system before she arrives. Act like you’re better than me, and let me wound your pride. Do you understand?”

Beryl nodded, then rose. She took a calculated risk, wanting to start her off irritated. She affected a bored, judgmental tone. “Then by all means, let’s begin, Ialai.”

Choosing the Perfect Wash Basin: A Guide to Elevate Your Bathroom

A wash basin is more than just a functional feature in your bathroom — it’s a statement of style, comfort, and practicality. Whether you’re redesigning a space or setting up a new home, selecting the right bathroom sink can make a huge difference in how your bathroom looks and feels.

In this guide, we’ll explore the types of basins available, practical tips for choosing the right one, and answers to common questions — all tailored to help you navigate the bathroom sink NZ market.

Types of Wash Basins: Know Your Options

Before diving into design, it’s important to understand the different kinds of bathroom sinks available:

Pedestal Basins These stand on their own and are great for compact bathrooms. They save space and offer a classic look.

Countertop Basins Stylish and modern, these basins sit atop a vanity or counter, making a strong visual statement.

Wall-Mounted Basins Ideal for minimalist bathrooms, these are mounted directly to the wall, freeing up floor space.

Under-Mount Sinks Installed below the countertop, they offer a seamless, easy-to-clean surface.

In New Zealand, the bathroom sink NZ market offers a wide range of these options, catering to both traditional and contemporary tastes.

What Should You Consider Before Buying?

Size and Space

Measure your bathroom carefully. A large basin in a small space can overwhelm the room, while a tiny sink in a spacious bathroom might look odd.

Material

Popular materials include ceramic, glass, stone, and metal. Each has its own appeal and maintenance needs. Ceramic is often the go-to for its durability and affordability.

Plumbing Compatibility

Ensure that your chosen bathroom sink works with existing plumbing or be ready to adjust your setup.

Style Cohesion

Your wash basin should harmonize with the rest of the bathroom’s fixtures and finishes — think taps, tiles, and cabinetry.

What Are People Saying?

“I upgraded to a countertop bathroom sink NZ retailers recommended, and it transformed the whole vibe of my bathroom. Super happy!” — Emma, Auckland

“We chose a wall-mounted basin to save space in our small apartment. It’s sleek, minimal, and gives us extra room to move.” — Liam, Wellington

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the most popular bathroom sink style in NZ?

Countertop basins and under-mount sinks are currently trending in the bathroom sink NZ market, thanks to their stylish looks and space-efficient designs.

How do I maintain my wash basin?

Regular cleaning with mild soap and non-abrasive cloths keeps most materials in good shape. Avoid harsh chemicals, especially on delicate materials like natural stone or glass.

Can I install a new basin myself?

While some homeowners with DIY experience may handle installation, it’s generally best to hire a professional plumber — especially if you’re modifying existing plumbing.

What’s the average cost of a bathroom sink in NZ?

Prices vary widely depending on the type and material. Entry-level ceramic basins can start from as little as NZD 100, while designer options can go upwards of NZD 1000.

Final Thoughts: Why the Right Wash Basin Matters

Choosing the right wash basin is about balancing function, aesthetics, and budget. Whether you’re drawn to a classic pedestal style or a sleek under-mount design, New Zealand offers a rich selection of bathroom sinks and shower mixer to suit every preference.

How to Choose the Best Sanitary Ware for Your Indian Home

Designing or remodeling a home is exciting, but let’s be honest, when it comes to the bathroom, most of us just want it to be clean, stylish, and low-maintenance. That’s where sanitary ware comes in! It’s not just about toilets and basins anymore—it’s about smart choices, elegant designs, and long-lasting materials.

In this guide, we’ll break down how to choose the best sanitary ware for your Indian home, whether you’re shopping at a store or planning to buy sanitary ware online.

What is Sanitary Ware Anyway?

Sanitary ware includes the essential fixtures in your bathroom, like:

Wash basins

Toilets (WC)

Urinals

Bathtubs

Bidets

Shower trays

And sometimes, even kitchen sinks!

These products are usually made of ceramic, porcelain, or other water-resistant materials.

Why Choosing the Right Sanitary Ware Matters

Choosing the right pieces isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about:

Water efficiency

Space utilization

Durability

Comfort

Hygiene

Let’s not forget that good quality sanitary ware adds value to your home too.

1. Consider the Size of Your Bathroom

Start by measuring your bathroom. For small bathrooms, choose compact designs like wall-mounted WCs and corner wash basins. For spacious bathrooms, go bold—think bathtubs, vanity units, and dual sinks.

2. Choose the Right Material

Ceramic and porcelain are the most common—and for good reason. They’re:

Durable

Easy to clean

Resistant to most cleaning agents

If you want a luxe look, you can also find glass, stainless steel, or even stone basins. However, they require a bit more maintenance.

3. Prioritize Water-Saving Designs

With water becoming a precious resource, look for:

Dual flush toilets

Low-flow taps and showers

Sensor-based faucets

These aren’t just eco-friendly—they’ll save you money in the long run.

4. Focus on Hygiene

In Indian homes, especially with humid weather, hygiene is a huge factor. Opt for:

Rimless toilets for easy cleaning

Anti-bacterial glazed surfaces

Touchless technology

These features help keep germs at bay, especially if you’ve got kids or elderly family members.

5. Look for Smart Storage Options

Modern sanitary ware includes clever space-saving designs. Choose:

Wall-mounted vanities with drawers

Under-sink cabinets

Mirrors with hidden storage

Perfect for stashing toiletries and keeping things clutter-free.

6. Match the Aesthetics

Let’s face it: We all want Instagram-worthy bathrooms. Pick pieces that go with your style—whether it's:

Contemporary (sleek lines, minimalist)

Traditional (floral patterns, vintage touches)

Industrial (exposed pipes, matte finishes)

Tip: Always consider your home’s overall vibe when selecting colors and finishes.

7. Go for Trusted Brands and Sanitary Ware Suppliers

There are plenty of sanitary ware suppliers in India, from international names to home-grown brands. Stick with those who offer:

ISI-certified products

Solid warranties

Good after-sales service

Popular names include Jaquar, Hindware, CERA, Kohler, and Roca—but don’t hesitate to explore niche brands if quality checks out.

8. Buy Sanitary Ware Online vs. Offline

There’s a big debate about this, but here’s our take:

Buying Online Pros:

Wider variety

Competitive pricing

Convenience of home delivery

Easy comparison between brands and models

Buying Offline Pros:

Physical inspection

Immediate expert advice

Faster installation support

Want the best of both worlds? Browse online, shortlist your favorites, then visit a local showroom for a hands-on feel.

Tip: When you buy sanitary ware online, check product reviews, return policies, and installation support options.

9. Think About Future Maintenance

Not all shiny things stay shiny. Go for fixtures that are:

Easy to clean

Resistant to stains

Available with replaceable parts

This saves you headaches (and money) in the long term.

10. Don’t Forget the Accessories

Accessories like towel holders, soap dispensers, toilet roll holders, and shelves are also part of the sanitary ecosystem. For a cohesive look, choose ones that match the finish of your taps or showerhead.

Conclusion

Your bathroom is more than just a utility space—it's where you start and end your day. So make it count! Take your time choosing the right sanitary ware, and don't shy away from mixing functionality with style. Whether you're heading to your local showroom or plan to buy sanitary ware online, the right decision will serve you for years to come.

Cultural Influences on Design 

Cultural factors greatly influence trends in wash basin design. Asian designs integrate natural materials and delicate details, whereas Scandinavian designs are characterized by their simplicity and functionality. These cultural aesthetics even have an impression on materials and shapes. Italian designs frequently include expensive marble that reflects luxury and creativity, while Japanese ceramics emphasize quality. Generally, a mixture of traditional and modern aesthetics can also be seen in worldwide design trends.

Market Trends and Consumer Preferences 

Growing consumer awareness of environmental issues is driving a spike in demand for sustainable materials within the wash basin industry. While smart home technology is becoming more and more popular, manufacturers are integrating water-saving technologies and recyclable materials into their designs. Over the next five years, the industry is anticipated to undergo substantial change, with a stronger specialisation in eco-friendly designs and, therefore, the use of smart technologies. Manufacturers must modify their designs to satisfy aesthetic requirements and, therefore, increase customer emphasis on technology integration and sustainability. It's anticipated that this alteration will spur innovation and help businesses suit shifting customer tastes.

Conclusion  

The main design trends for wash basins—minimalism, sustainability, and personalization—are vibrant and can still influence the aesthetics of kitchens and bathrooms. When designing rooms, it is important to consider these advancements because incorporating contemporary designs will improve both practicality and aesthetic appeal.

Day 27: Diamond

Part 1 - Negotiation (yeah I went overboard today) Rated Mature, Ialai/Beryl, Sex work, set during Way of Kings Cross posted on ao3

As Beryl changed and readied herself, she wondered one last time whether attending Ialai Sadeas as a Jasnah Kholin look-alike might be a bad idea. However, the Sadeases had an excellent reputation with the other prostitutes, and the pay Ialai’s scribe had offered was substantial, with payment up front. 

She looked in the mirror, holding her trademark diamond spherelamp, which contained the sphere she kept her illusion in. She couldn’t keep it on her clothes, for obvious reasons. The white light also allowed her clients to see her well, which was the whole point of hiring a look-alike. She made sure not to make herself look too uncannily similar. It helped that she was shorter than the princess, and a little younger. She enjoyed wearing Jasnah’s face with clients; she didn’t have to change very much physically, and stepping into the demeanour her clients wanted was often a fun change of pace.

However, most of her clients didn’t know the princess personally like the Highprincess did. That made her stomach flutter. Well, either way, she had a job to do. Head up and confident, she was granted entry into the Highprincess’ inner sanctum.

The room was rich with soft carpets and heavy tapestries, making the room feel smaller than it was. A hearth with a lit fire warmed the room, making the space feel cozy and alive. Elsewhere the room was lit by emeralds, not locked in spherelamps but open in goblets and small bowls–a sign of extravagance and self-assured confidence.

The Highprincess herself was not on the large, soft bed at the centre of the room, but in an overstuffed armchair in the corner. She gestured to Beryl to take the seat opposite her. Beryl acquiesced and placed her little diamond spherelamp on a delicate side table.

Brightness Ialai regarded her with a pleased air. “I admit I’m impressed,” she smiled. “Even down to the havah style. For a moment I thought the bitch herself had found me out. Now, to business. I assume since you accepted my price, you understand I will be asking more of you tonight.”

“Yes, Brightness,” Beryl said, inclining her head in deference. “I was told you would be interested in having me act like the Princess, and you would be spanking me. That’s perfectly acceptable to me, so long as you hit with the flat of your hand, and stick to my stomach, thighs, and ass.”

“Hm,” Brightness Ialai said, tapping her chin. “How about hair-pulling? Not hard enough to hurt, but perhaps enough to surprise.”

Beryl nodded. “Yes, Brightness, that would be fine. I would also ask no fingers or any other objects be put inside me. I have my own tools, but I was told you weren’t interested in them anyway.”

“Yes, that is correct. Although, now that I’m looking at you…” she trailed off thoughtfully.

When Beryl was in the room, sometimes clients thought to try to alter the agreement, and it seemed that Brightness Ialai was no different. 

“Can I come on you?”

An unusual request from a woman, but Beryl would take it. “So long as you provide me a wash basin afterwards. I’ll need to leave presentable.”

“Yes, you will,” Brightness Ialai said in a colder tone. “I’ll want you leaving promptly and without drawing any attention. If there is no talk of your presence here after two days, I’ll send an emerald mark. If there is any talk, I’ll never hire you again. If any rumours arise as to the nature of our contract, I’ll have you whipped.”

That raised Beryl’s eyebrows. “You won’t have to worry about that, Brightness,” she said, feeling unworried. Leaving undetected would be much easier than the Highprincess thought. “In return, of course, you’ll know that if you break any of my rules, your reputation within my network will be burned to the ground.”

Regular clients were best held in check by physical threats; merchants, threats of financial consequences. High-ranking lighteyes could only be held in check by their reputations. Brightness Ialai nodded amiably, already familiar with these standards.

She leaned forward, then, her light green eyes glittering. “You won’t have had occasion to meet Princess Jasnah, so I will tell you that she’s stuck up, judgmental, and thinks she smarter than everyone. I heard that she’ll be moving to the Shattered Plains, so I need to get this out of my system before she arrives. Act like you’re better than me, and let me wound your pride. Do you understand?”

Beryl nodded, then rose. She took a calculated risk, wanting to start her off irritated. She affected a bored, judgmental tone. “Then by all means, let’s begin, Ialai.”
