2022-01-06 - You Have The Right To Remain Silent

As good as her word, once the shift was over, Dani had driven Rick to the shooting range the cops frequented often. Getting out, she brings her pistol, not her rifle, and at the door, she steps inside while extending her arm to hold the door behind her for her partner. Still wearing her uniform, she looks the part, somewhat severe while hiding her tattoos for the most part.

Once inside, she gets the equipment and they get assigned side-by-side stations. Heading over, she places her gear down, not her gun though, and grins. "Okay, you ready for this? Winner dares the loser."

Nodding a bit as they get out of the car, Rick checks that he has his pistol with him as well, offering Dani a smile as she holds the door and he steps inside, moving to get the equipment and weapon ready. "Ready. Good luck," he offers, with a smile.

There's no rush, Dani doesn't put on her silencing headphones yet, but she does prop herself against her own station to pull her clip from her gun and slide in the one she'd gotten from the desk when she had signed in. The original one is tucked into her side pocket on her pants leg for safety sake. "Alright, three sets of three. Whichever one groups them together front and center best, wins. Best of the three sets. Cool?"

Rick nods a bit as he hears that, similarily changing the clips, after checking his weapon a few times extra. "Cool," he replies, offering a brief grin as he gets ready to put on the rest of the safety gear. "Ready whenever you are."

"It's on." Dani dons her own gear and draws her weapon. Nothing fancy, no sideways hold like some gangster, just straight up with her hand on the grip and the second cradling it beneath. After aiming, she pulls back the slide and lets it slam home before squeezing off the trigger three times in rapid succession. PewPewPew.

Moving into position, Rick still looks relaxed as he starts aiming, then fires off the three shots rather quickly. As he lowers the weapon again, he looks to the target rather carefully, but keeps quiet, expression neutral for now.

Dani does pretty much the same, except when she checks out her first target, she seems fairly happy with the result. There's no comment to his, but she does offer him a crooked grin. "Ready for round two?"

"Ready," Rick replies with a nod, as he looks around, then back to the targets. Not much else to say as they keep on going through the rounds here.

Dani does much as she had before, lifting her weapon, drawing back then releasing the slide, aiming then pulling the trigger again, three times.

Rick takes a few moments to take a deep breath, hold it for three seconds, release it and waiting the same three second interval before he lifts his weapon again, readying, aiming and firing off the three shots once more.

With a half grin, Dani turns to look at him, a grudging respect in her eyes. "Looks pretty evenly matched to me." She prepares for the final round, this time taking her time between shots. First one.. Pausing to reaim, second shot, another pause then the third and final shot.

Rick ggrins, nodding a bit. "Good to see, really," he offers, before he gets ready to fire again, nodding a bit to himself.

Once the shooting has finished and the smoke has cleared, Dani checks out both of their targets and she knows she has won. Removing her clip, she places it on the counter of her station and quickly inserts her own again before reholstering her weapon. "I will clean it again tonight." Her gun that is. A crooked grin is given to him, "Now to consider a dare."

Rick does a quick look over his weapon before putting the clip that is supposed to be in the gun normally, before looking to the targets. "Congratulations," he offers, before he offers a grin in return. "Now why does this make me feel more nervous than most other things?" It's offered quite lightly now.

"Thanks. You should feel nervous. I mean, I could have you be my maid for a week. I could have you buy lunches for a week. So many choices. So many." Dani seems to be considering things while wearing a wicked, wicked smile. "Have any preferences as to what you don't want to do?"

Rick considers for a few moments as he hears that, offering a bit of a grin. "Lunches for a week? I'm gonna need a bigger budget..." It's offered a bit lightly, before he shakes his head a little. "Not that I can think of at the moment, no."

"Damn. What about anything you want to do? Help me out here. I need to find a happy medium with nothing to work with. As it is, you'll owe me until I decide, since we didn't put a time limit on it." Dani grins. "So? Anything?"

"I've never been good at coming up with suggestions for something like that. Give me a few suggestions as to what it could be?" Rick replies, shrugging a little. "Without making me go bankrupt?" That last comment offered rather lightly.

"Tell you what, this is something I want to think over for a couple of days. Once I decide you'll be the first to know. You ready to get out of here?" Gathering her gear, she heads back to the front and returns it. "Want me to drop you off at your house?"

Rick nods. "Sure, you need time to plot," he replies, with a grin, before he moves to return his gear as well. "Actually, I might need a little walk to clear my head," he offers, with a smile.

"Oh? Sure thing, if you need a ride, I'll go get you. But if I have to get out again, you'll have to ride in back." Dani teases, a brief wave, "I will catch you later then, Partner."

Rick raises an eyebrow. "In the back? Not like a dog, I hope..." A grin is offered with a half-wave. "Stay out of trouble, partner."

"Like a criminal," Dani teases, like that's worse or something. "I refuse to stay out of trouble. Makes life more interesting." She waves a hand and heads out.
