"Beats geometry and pep rallies," Pyro said, and grinned before turning back to Spider. "So, what's the gameplan for tomorrow morning?"

"As stated, I'm going to need some kind of distraction." Spider grinned. "I'll meet the three of you there at, say... 0800? That ought to give us plenty of time before sundown."

"Sir," Phoebe asked with a grin as she came back to the table. "Is some of that stuff for bribes?"

"I knew I liked you." Spider sprawled back in his chair, fishing out another cigarette. He had to bat at the cat, who made a grab for it, but emerged victorious. "Of course."

"Anything we should bring of our own, sir?" Krycek eyed the cat again and shifted in his seat, feeling a little like the weird of this school would only increase as he went along.

The cigarette that Spider took out got another quick glance from Pyro; it took a second or two for him to focus back on the main conversation. "... and what kind of distraction did you have in mind, anyway?"

Phoebe pulls a pack out of her jacket and tosses it to Pyro.

"Mostly to upset Grams."

She then looks to Spider to hear the answer.

"Whatever will keep Rover on the other side of the campus for at least half an hour." Spider looked at all three of them over the top of his glasses. "And don't get caught."

"Goes without saying," Krycek said, watching the arc of the pack through the air. "Were you going to answer my question, sir?"

[jerusalem-s.livejournal.com]

"Bring anything you think might be useful." Spider told him, shifting his glance to include all three. "There's no such thing as being over-prepared... and a paranoid is just someone in possession of all the facts."

And Pyro caught the pack easily, grinning at Phoebe. "Hey, thanks!"

... not that he smoked, because living in headquarters with Sabretooth had pretty much made it impossible to do anything without being snarled at angrily, and the Prof had been obsessed with preventing lung carciloma or carcinoma or whatever the hell that stuff was called, but still. It was the principle, and he'd just been given stuff that burned really, really, really well. Cigarette smoke didn't have the same bouquet to it that wood smoke did, but it was still pretty good, with just a hint of paper smoke to it.

"Anything we want?" And hell, that just opened up a huge realm of possibilities.

Phoebe was grinning and her eyes were a little darker, which anyone who knew her would know well enough that it wasn't a good grin as it was before. That type of grin meant trouble.

She echoed Pyro's sentiments.

"Anything within reason," Spider qualified, giving them both a suspicious look. "You can only carry so much and run for your life at the same time."

[krycek-rat.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a plan." Grinning as well, Krycek sat up slightly, actually looking forward to this.

From Spider's warning, Phoebe's slight change in expression, and Pyro's unadulterated glee, Krycek thought that any hazard pay would be well earned, but most certainly entertaining.
