"Here's your guy," Stella said, pushing a photo across the table.
Nikki took the picture and studied it.
"He's going to be at the show tomorrow."
Nikki nodded.
"It's your job to get close to him, and stay with him," Stella said firmly. "Do everything that you have to do to stay in his pocket. This is a long term mission."
"I see..." Nikki said slowly.
"And by everything, I mean, everything," Stella said pointedly.
"I get the idea."
"Good. Come tomorrow, you will not contact me, nor anyone else connected through the Frudge Gang, except by this," Stella gave her a sheet of paper. "Memorise it, then destroy it. Understand?"
"Perfectly."
"Good," then Stella smiled. "Congratulations, you're now a fully fledged member of the team."
Nikki pointed to the tattoo, which spent photo shoots covered up by some special makeup supplied by the gang.
"I thought that's what this meant."
"That makes you one officially. This makes you one unofficially, get it? This is your first big mission."
"Ahh," and Nikki appreciated the distinction. "Awesome."
The women stood.
"We'll see you around. Good luck."
"Thanks."
