Smoke clouded and rose to the ceiling, swirling with the suffocating scent of vanilla and rose perfume and harsh liquor. Ash fell to the floor that didn't seem sanitary as it was. A few members within the room have found themselves drunk but that did not stop them from drinking every drop of bourbon and scotch they could find.

Y\N sat with her H\C hair in a tight bun upon the top of her head, sunglasses donned, and a slim form-fitting dress in the color of night. Heavy makeup patted onto her slightly flushed cheeks as she stared longingly at the peach and lime daiquiri that she was nursing on.

The front door to the building opened, entering was the man Y\N was waiting for. She paid him little mind as he carefully walked over and sat beside her, not saying a word. Gesturing towards the bar tender a glass of whiskey was set before the man. Y\N looked away from the liquid in her own glass and took a fleeting glance towards the man.

He was of a larger body type, light green eyes that hid behind round framed glasses. Hair turning grey and stating to recede showings widows peak.

"Mademoiselle Rosaline?" His voice was harsh and raspy as he spoke.

Y\N turned her head away and gave a short nod.

"Monsieur Cleft." She responded with confidence.

A silence fell between the two as they both drank and watched the others around them. Cleft ordered a refill as he finished his drink quickly.

"You are here for information, no?" Y\N asked with a sly smile.

"Of course, you?" He responded, stirring a pitiful chuckle from Y\N's mouth.

"You know what I want." She answered somewhat harshly, causing Cleft to look towards her with a glare in his eyes. The man took a long drink before setting the glass down again.

"You shouldn't talk like that Rosaline."

"Or else?" Y\N teased, looking over at him.

"You will end up dead on the streets." Y\N watched him as he drew his thumb across his neck.

'Dead?'

"It does not matter." Y\N paused, feeling a bit lightheaded from the cigarette smoke. "What information do you have?"

"A revolution."

"Oh?"

Y\ N watched him finish off his beverage only for it to be refilled once again.

"It's dangerous next door." He paused to take another drink, his cheeks were tinted red. "The citizens have got weapons down the throats of officials." He shook his head in disgust, shooting back the rest of his whiskey.

"I heard of that." Y\N shook her head as well, looking away from the man beside her. "Awful." Her delicate voice turned rigid and the expression upon her face was gruesome.

"The blood stains the sidewalks without a sign of peace." Cleft looked at Y\N and scowled slightly, alcohol goin to his head. "How will you pay me back Rosaline?"
