John hailed a cab and sank into the backseat, exhaling dejectedly.
He'd had high hopes for some good news from the guy he'd just met, but
it turned into another dead end. He knew there had to be some way for
him to get back to his own time and bring Sam back with him. Eve was
getting worse and he hoped that Sam would be able to help her.

For the first time since the death of his parents, he wished he'd gone
into medicine as his father and mother wanted, instead of joining the
Marines. Then again, if he had, he wouldn't be here, because he would
never have gone on the rescue mission to Olduvai. Feeling the
beginnings of a headache himself only served to make him that much
more determined to find something, anything that would allow him to
help Eve.

Staring out at nothing in particular, John had a sudden flash of
inspiration…Snake Plissken. The man seemed to have resources that
Reaper couldn't come close to duplicating, as well as being out of his
own time himself and he might just know someone who could provide John
with a ticket home, preferably round trip. Giving the cabbie the
address of Snake's shop he relaxed slightly, feeling at least a little
hopeful.

Snake was having a busy day and was working on a truck yelling at it about the wiring not working. He was frustrated and just short of shredding the wiring under the dash or getting a drink. Why not both? Snake sat back in the driver's seat and sighed as he stared at all the wires sticking out. He wished Taylor was around. Electrical was his specialty. Snake on the other hand was just getting the hang of the mess.

He gave it a minute and went back to work. The shop was still open despite it being past his usual closing time. He needed to get this done for tomorrow. Nothing seemed to fix the issues with the electrical.

John followed the sounds of cursing to a truck sitting in the bay. "Hey, Snake." He called out, in no mood to have to heal up from a gunshot from sneaking up on the man.

Snake crawled out of the truck and kicked it before turning around.

Wasn't expecting you, been awhile.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

John gave a half smile. "Wasn't expecting to be here, but I ran into some problems with supplies. I'm not crazy or anything, but you wouldn't know where I could get my hands on a time machine, would you?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake cocked his head curiously but he wasn't surprised.

Time machine, no. I got other ways though, why?

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"I need to find my sister, I think she can help Eve." John sighed. "She's having headaches and they're getting worse. The docs have no clue what's up."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake nodded. She was talking about them last time I saw her.

Snake sighed. I wouldn't go about my method until you know you've exhausted everything else. Damned dangerous talking to the bastard I usually do.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"I've tried every lead I could find." He leaned against the truck. "The stuff I've found so far is all smoke and mirrors."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake lit a cigarette and nodded. The only way I know is tangling with Lucifer or getting a boon from a god or goddess.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"At this point, I'd try anything." He slumped forward, chin in hand.


ooc-Off for a bit. I'm feeling pretty rough tonight, I'm going to take a couple of aspirin and try to get rid of this headache. I should be back in an hour or so.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

I can get you a meeting with Lucifer but might try some other places first. Snake shrugged. I got a friend I can ask too. Can you give me a few days?


OOC: Same here. I am about to drive home so I will be off for an hour or so too.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"That depends on Eve." He rolled his shoulders, trying to relax the tight muscles. "If she gets worse...I'll make whatever deal I have to."

ooc-Having ISP connection issues tonight so I may be spotty on responses. It keeps wanting to drop the connection.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

You can't go to Lucifer thinking like that. I'll see what I can do.

OOC: I heard. No worries.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"I'll hang on, but she's worth it." He pulled out a pack of smokes and lit one, leaning back and taking a drag, he looked over at Snake. "Got a feeling you know what I mean, don't you? I mean you'd do whatever it took for your wife, right?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

If he takes your soul she'll have nothing. Snake nodded. I've died for her once already. There are worse things than dying.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

Reaper quirked a sardonic smile. "Not so sure he doesn't already have it. Marines ain't exactly choirboys in my time."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

If he did you wouldn't be here. Snake's expression was serious. He never joked about Lucifer. There's a reason no one trusts him.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"I try and make it a habit not to trust, if I can avoid it." The words may have been joking, but Reaper's expression was completely serious. The last person he had trusted besides Sam was Sarge and that hadn't turned out so fucking great.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Deal with Lucifer and you deal with the being put deception and lies on the board. Snake sighed. I got other avenues though, might work.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

"I need anything that'll work." John looked at the truck. "What's up with this heap?"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

All you can do is ask see if his price is worth it. Snake glared at the truck. Something is fucked in the wiring and be damned if I can find it.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

John shrugged out of his jacket and peeled down to a white wifebeater. "Got tester handy? I can give her a look. My Grandfather had something like her on the farm and I used to tinker with it, keep it running."

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

It's on the seat. Snake shrugged. Have a go at it.

[reaper2point0.livejournal.com]

Crawling under the dashboard, John began by visually checking the connection. "So you deal with Lucifer much?" He asked.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/]

Snake went around to the passenger side and got in so he could watch. All the time unfortunately.
