A brief look confirmed that Faye was hiding behind her cup. She was uncomfortable but most likely not because of Daniel. "Depends who you are. LA is the city where anything is possible. Some people go clubbing, some surfing, some hang out on the beach, others race cars." he grinned. "What are you into?"

"What am I into? Most of my time goes into this gig." Daniel gave an indifferent shrug while he took another sip of his coffee. It was a choice he had made a long time ago and had never regretted it since. There never was a boring moment in his life. "But when I do get some spare time, I like to get some money on the table every now and then. Play some poker with the guys, few beers, that kind of shit."
He smirked at the still painfully evident grin on the other man's face, placing his now empty cup back on the table. "I take it cars are your poison with that rice burner outside."

"You could say that." He admitted. He had stumbled into racing by chance and got hooked immediately even though it was illegal and he was a cop. Brian made a mental note to keep jack away from Daniel. He was glad his brother had gotten over his gambling addiction. Brian took another drink of coffee and looked at his watch. "I gotta hurry. Still gotta get a lot of stuff done and get back the hospital." Faye would know what he meant.

Faye attempted to stay out of the conversation, not wanting to be dragged back down memory road, she was still recovering from what had happened herself and was more then glad neither had tried to pull her into conversation. Licking her lips she turned to Brian at the mention of the hospital, and gave him a half ass smile, the conversation with Jack burning in her mind.
"Well i hope everythings okay"SHe stated with a smile.

Suddenly a little more serious Brian stated a brief. "Yeah." In truth he wasn't sure. It was strange that Mia had to stay there and that the birth had taken such a toll on her health. Once more he checked his watch and finished his coffee. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Daniel. I have to get to that appointment." He squeezed Faye's shoulder and got up to leave.

Faye smiled, nodding her head as she watched him stand. "Well enjoy"She stated with a soft smile as she turned towards Daniel after Brian had left, she offered him a smile as well, licking her lips she dropped her gaze down to her drink.

"Likewise." Daniel gave a short nod, the worded reply solely out of polite necessity. He didn't like O'Conner, though that could just be because the man still seemed to uphold the values that he once held himself. But that was long before he realized the phrase 'to serve and protect' was merely a joke when his team got screwed over by one of their own.
Leaning back in his seat once again, he cut his attention back to Faye, finding her once again practically burying herself in her cup. "So, business or pleasure?"

Faye lifted her gaze quickly, smileing over at him, with a shrug she licked her lips "Either"SHe stated with a shurg of her shoulders, she wasnt to fussed about what they spoke about next, she didnt want to push the other man either on making a choice or talking about buissness if he would rathr talk about something else.

Daniel curled one corner of his mouth up in a smile. "Well since you're the one buying me the coffee, I thought I'd let you call the shots here."
Rubbing an almost absent hand over his chin, he watched Faye in silence for a moment. She was his only information link to the Anderson case at the moment and he did need to ease his own mind. Needed to know if the guy had let anything loose on how he had stayed under the radar for so long.
"But I guess since the initial intention for this meet was business, we should start on that and get out of each other's hair since, correct me if I'm wrong, you seem a little uncomfortable."

Faye quickly looked up from her coffee, did she seriously look that uncomfortable, licking her lips she offered him a tight smile, shaking her head, lifting her hand to remve a strand of hair that fell into her face, her dark eyes looked over at the man in front of her. "Im not making a very good first impression am i"She laughed, she pushed away the nearly cold cup, she had spent so much time burrying her head in it, drowning in her thoughts, then she had actually drinking it.
WIth a sigh, she lifted her gaze once more, it was time to start acting professional, to get her mind out of the thoughts, away from the things that she had no control over, she couldnt help what had happened in the last couple of days, nor the last couple of years. "Im just remembering things I'd rather not"SHe stated softly "Brian was stabbed stopping crazy bitch getting to me" She shrugged, running a hand through her hair "Long complicated story, but your right, we were here for bussiness so we should start"

With every step he walked away Brian's mood dropped a little more. For one he wasn't looking forward to some doctor poking around in his wound but he was also uncomfortable leaving Faye behind with a stranger even though he was an FBI agent, one of the good guys. For a moment he stopped and looked back but then decided that he didn't have to babysit Faye and hopped in his Nissan to make his way to the doctor.

Daniel listened to the brunette, his eyes the only thing giving off some sympathy for the woman in his otherwise neutral expression. "I'm sorry if I tore at any wounds. If you rather do this some other time." Reaching in to his front pocket, he pulled one of his cards out and flashed her a smile. "I can always give you my number."
A pen followed after he flipped the card around, writing another number on the back before he slid the small piece of paper over the table toward her. "Still my old card. Like I said, the FBI has many 'beauty' flaws." He smirked, tapping the card with his index finger. "I'm reachable on this number basically 24/7. So if you need help with a case or anything else, don't hesitate to call."

After a 45 minute drive through city traffic Brian had finally reached his destination. Now he was sitting in the waiting area of the busy gp's practice and flicked through 'men's health'. His thoughts drifted away to earlier that day and he decided to call Trinh. "Hey, do you know the new guy Daniel Shaw? Can i ask you a personal favour? Could you pull up his file for me and let me know about anything unusual? I owe you."

Faye shook her head, her hair falling around her face, with a smile, she watched as he pulled out a card, his hand quick as he wrote down his number, barly having to look as he wrote. "Dont worry about it, i tend to manage to drag myself down memory lane"SHe commented and pulled the card away from the table, her dark gaze barely reading it as she slipped it into her bag.
Licking her lips she looked up at him, shooving a strand of hair around her ear, she signalled for the waitress and smiled over at her. "Can i have a coffee, black, no sugar please"She pushed away the cold drink, feeling slightly depressed that she had allowed the drink to go to waste, but work was on the cards now and she was gonna need something stronger.
"But we're here now, so might as well get it over with right"She offered him a smile, shifting so she could pull out the infomation she had on the man as it stood.

"If that's what you want." Daniel mirrored her smile, his eyes moving toward the files she was pulling out before they settled back on the woman.
"I take it you haven't gotten much out of Mr. Anderson, yet?" The flash in his eyes when he mention the name had been barely noticeable and was gone by the time he reached forward to get a better look at the paperwork on the man who he once called a 'business associate'.
"Seems like you have the most important information on the case already here." Turning his attention from the papers back on the brunette, he gave an almost indifferent shrug as he pushed the file back over to her. Nothing seemed to be pointing back to a possible 'dirty suit' at the New York office, meaning Anderson had thankfully kept his mouth shut about him, which was all he needed to know. "I don't see why you'd still need me."

Faye shook her head as she watched him flip through the folders, his eyes barly, flicking over them before he was looking at her once more. "Nope, he's keeping pretty quite"She stated, which wasnt actually uncommon, most criminals did, they thought that longer they stayed quite, the easier things went for them and it was never the case.
Laughing softly she pulled back the paper work, yea they did have pretty much everything but her boss wanted to make sure there was no surprises and that he would end up going down for a very long time. "With him hopping from New York we just want to make sure theres nothing else, we dont want this going to trial and him getting of for a technicality"

Daniel pulled the knot of his tie completely free, the look unprofessional, but technically he had been off 'suit and tie' duty the moment he had left the FBI building.
"I understand that. All I can do now, is grant you the documentation of my own investigation against him. But I can assure you that the case file you have here pretty much contains all the dirt there is on Mr. Anderson." He flashed the brunette a smile, though this time his eyes remained untouched by the friendly expression. The firm had a strong case and as long as nothing pointed in his direction, he held no further interest in whether the man served life, shorter or not at all.

A little later while waiting to finally see the doctor Brian received a call back from his former colleague. "He worked for our NY narcotics branch for a couple of years. There are a few gaps in agent Shaws file but no offenses, nothing major anyway. He's been under investigation but with no result. He asked to be transfered for private reasons. That's it. Our newbie is as clean as a baby butt." Brian breathed a sigh of releif even though Daniel had said that he was trasnfered because of his current case. When his name was finally called he got up and went into the room with no further thought of the other agent.

Faye watched as he became more comfortable and felt slightly better with her un proffessional performance in front of him, licking her lips she lifted her cup to her lips, taking a small sip, savouring the strong taste of the coffee.
"Well anything you have will be a help"She stated with a soft smile, "I dont like letting criminals slip through my fingers"She stated, as she let out a sigh.

"Once again, understandable. It's good to see there are still people out there who care." Daniel gave her a smile. "I'll have the files send to your firm first thing tomorrow."
Pushing back the hem of his sleeve, he let a disgruntled sound escape when his watch told him it was later than he thought. He'd be expecting a call soon, one he didn't want, or even could have in front of the brunette, or anyone else for that matter. "I guess time flies when you're having fun.." His eyes cut back to the woman as he stood, extending a hand over the table toward her. "It was nice meeting you, miss Perez, Faye, but I'm afraid duty calls."
