An introduction of sorts
Sep. 2nd, 2006 08:30 pmFrank is carefully spooning batter onto a baking tray when the phone rings. He answers it to hear a voice say:
"I'm looking for a transporter."
Leaving the spoon in the mixing bowl, Frank automatically responds with an "I'm listening" while he takes a pen and small notebook out of a drawer. Noting down a few details, Frank ends the call having arranged a meeting to sort out his next job.
You'd think, after the rather public near-disaster that was Miami, Frank would lay low, do something else and keep out of the transporting game for a while. Unfortunately, an army pension doesn't go as far in London as it did in Florida or the South of France and he's become rather attached to his current style of living.
Aside from that though, he does enjoy the driving.
Once he knows more about the job, he'll have to make sure he has the right tires and the car is properly tuned to handle the task. Later, perhaps, he'll give the car a wash and wax so it looks just how he likes it. Now, however Frank turns back to the mixing bowl and baking tray and, following Tarconi's mother's madeline recipe precisely, continues to carefully spoon batter onto the baking tray.
