"Sanitation workers." Steven looked down at his overalls and grimaced. "Kind of a comedown from playboys in Calvin Klein. You sure about this, mate?"

"These two were more than happy to take a hundred bucks and the night off," Rio said, looking them both over. "You guys don't look anything like them, but we're not going to be here long enough for it to matter."

"And what about you?" Devon asked, his eyes bright and shining after what had been, for him, a very productive evening. He looked intensely alive, almost glowing with it. The aftereffects of feeding his allure. "How are you going to get up to the top of the building?"

"In the hamper." He gestured towards the industrial-sized laundry basket on wheels. "It'll be a tight fit, but I'm willing to take one for the team. Plus I can fit all of my equipment in there."

"Read: guns," Devon laughed, but Steven frowned.

"You don't think the sub-machine gun is a little much?" he asked. "I mean, what do you really need a hundred rounds for, then?"

"I'd rather have them and not need them than the other way around," Rio said. "Besides, we can't all pull guns out of our bodies."

"I hid a gun in my body once," Devon volunteered. "It was not fun at all."

"Riiight... you've officially killed the afterglow now, luv, thanks for that." Steven shook his head. "Honestly, was the club bit worth it? I mean, what did you two really get out of it? Apart from knowin' when Grey left, and you coulda got that just by waiting around outside."

"Are you complaining?" Devon asked archly.

"Not at all, just... curious."

Rio could appreciate a certain amount of curiosity; too much got people killed, but just enough kept them alive. Steven had done right by them so far, so he answered him. "We got intel on another possible summoner for future ops, we got pictures of some very shady characters to monitor, and most importantly, we got to see your skills in action while under pressure." He smiled coolly at Steven. "It was as good a way as any to make sure you can actually do what you said you could."

Steven frowned. "Testing me?"

"And giving you outrageously good orgasms all at the same time. You're welcome," Devon said, then turned to Rio. "Now, into the laundry basket, flyboy!"

"Don't abuse Star Wars like that." Rio did get into the hamper though, folding his long body until he was low enough that, with a few towels placed over the top of him, the hamper looked full.

"Won't someone wonder why we're bringin' a heaping pile of dirty knickers upstairs instead of down?" Steven asked as he and Devon got behind the hamper and started to push. Devon's keycard got them into the ground floor's loading bay entrance, and they headed for the elevator.

"Not if we don't give them the chance to ask," Devon replied. "Just keep your head down and keep moving."

It was a decent enough plan to get them up to the top floor.
