Izzy had no idea what Renard was talking about, but she smiled nonetheless. She felt like she had to. &quot;So, I bet you're curious...about my situation,&quot; Izzy said getting down to business yet again. Renard shrugged his shoulders as if leaving it up to her to decide whether to tell him or not. &quot;Fine, fine bonito,&quot; she said rolling her eyes dramatically like her favourite heroine Maria Ignacio from her favourite telenovela, _Desperdido._ &quot;So, I know this guy...a friend from Brazil. And, well...he got involved with 'dis mafia, right? Well, they think I know where he is...and I do. If they find him, they will find what he stole from them.&quot; &quot;What?&quot; Renard asked, captivated by the dramatic way she told the story. &quot;Guns, cocaine, cash, prostitutes...the usual stuff,&quot; she said with a shrug. Renard's eyes widened. &quot;Que?! It's not like I stole it! I just know the guy, and I know where he is.&quot; Renard still looked confused. She sighed, &quot;His name is Marco. He is my brother.&quot; 2008-02-22T01:28:53Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/21816 <p>Ooh, her brother! Like THX said, I wasn&#8217;t expecting that.

Well that&#8217;s a bit of a twist. With the character the assumption would be, you know, another lover. I think as long as nobody has an evil, goatee wearing twin show up, we&#8217;re not too deep into the telenovella style.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/21816?basename=42434 2008-02-20T11:46:39Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p>dun dun dun&#8230;cue dramatic musica.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/21816?basename=42421 2008-02-20T03:27:54Z Nouvelle Bardot http://ficlets.com/authors/user_bardot
