Song Meme: Carolyn and Mano: Enemies Across the Line
They were heading to hot-ass Mexico on assignment. Mano and Carolyn had been assigned to kill an American drug-lord who had managed to cross the border into Mexico while leaving Uncle Sam with plausible deniability. Mano grumbled in the back of the truck as Carolyn drove the vehicle.

"Geez, I can feel the heat already."

	"It's not that hot," Carolyn said. "Much hotter in other parts of the world." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey, I've lived in the water most of my life. I'm not used to damn heat like this," Mano muttered. "So how much longer is this drive going to be you think?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think we're about thirty minutes out," she said. "It's a dry heat. It's easier to deal with." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll have to take your word for it." Geez he was bored. "So..how long you been doing this for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-28 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Doing what?" Carolyn asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-28 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Offing people," Mano replies bluntly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only when necessary," she said. "Until recently, of course. Now it seems to be a full time job." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I went off on a wild night on the town. How did you get caught?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-29 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"We were set up," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Touchy subject," he ventured? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-29 01:32 am UTC (link)
	Carolyn shrugged. "I suppose. Wouldn't be here if we were smarter." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-29 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"I think that applies to all of us," Mano empathized. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-29 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Possibly," Carolyn admitted. "Not how I planned on spending my life." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-29 11:43 pm UTC (link)
	"I sure as hell didn't expect to be riding in the back of a truck heading to Mexico." Mano sighs. "I don't suppose they'll let us sotp off in Cancun? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-30 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	"No," Caroly said. "I think it would be highly frowned upon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-30 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Figures." Mano thought a moment. "Do they ever let us off the leash?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-30 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	"No," she said. "They loosen it enough to let us believe we have a life and choices, but the leash is always there. It will be until we die." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-30 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	"Then why don't we just say 'fuck it' and take as many of them out as as we can before they kill us? I mean they ain't letting us go, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-30 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	"They won't let us go, but I don't want or need the government hunting me down. It's easier to go along with it. It could be worse." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"..Okay, I'll bite: how?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mano just mutters. "Just doesn't seem fair we got to be attack dogs 'til the day we die." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-30 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	"Better than being the prey or the hunted," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fair enough." He's pretty sure he's memorized every inch of this compartment by now... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There's always a worse thing," she said. "Thirsty?" she asked. There were bottles of water in the bag on the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-31 12:24 am UTC (link)
	Mano thinks on that. "Sure..thanks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-01-31 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Carolyn grabbed the bag and tossed it to him. "There's a few bottles in there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-01-31 11:02 am UTC (link)
	He takes a bottle, pops the lid open, and downs the bottle fairly quickly. "So..your brother in hot water with the higher-ups for that Joker business?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-02-01 12:56 am UTC (link)
	Carolyn shrugged. "I don't know. I really don't care. If they are and come after us, it'll just be an excuse to kill them all." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-02-01 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"You know..I don't mean to be [that guy, but if they are mad I can understand it," he admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-02-01 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Carolyn just shrugged. "Things happen. We can't always be successful on missions. If they expect that, they're fools." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-02-01 02:01 am UTC (link)
	"It really wasn't a failure..we just walked away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-02-01 02:31 am UTC (link)
	"It's not wise to tangle with the Bats on their turf," she said. Just mentioning the Bats left a bad taste in her mouth. "It's also not wise to attract undue attention." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shark_prince 2014-02-01 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	Mano didn't reply, just grumbling a little before opening another bottle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	manasa 2014-02-03 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Carolyn kept quiet and continued to drive. (Reply to this)(Parent)
