They say almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Thank God, right? Or else I'd be litigating something right now.

We wouldn't want that, there are enough lawyers out there.

And not enough rock stars. *grins*

That could be debatable. Is that what you are?

Hell yeah! *laughs*

What's your name, rock star?

Alison Blaire. *extends hand*

*Shakes her hand with a firm grip.* Mac Taylor, nice to meet you Ms. Blaire.

*returns his handshake*

Mac? Good name. They make the best lipstick. *winks*

Yes, I know, long lasting in a variety of shades. I do believe that I was around before them though.

*smirks* Twenty four years? Fair enough.

I just turned twenty five, just missed the cut off date. So why didn't you become a lawyer?

Because I didn't want to live the life my dad wanted me to live?

Plus? Being a rock star kicks so much more ass than law.

Fair enough, no child should have to live their parents life.

I don't know, I think the law kicks ass.

Right. Daddy wanted me to be a smart girl. Didn't want me to live my mom's life.

*smirks* It does, man, in it's own way. Right on.

Who's to say you aren't smart? You sound intelligent enough. Was your mother a musician as well?

You're patronizing me, but thank you.

Thanks. Most people think I'm an idiot who lets the record company make her decisions, but I try not to be. Yeah, she was a performer.

*grins* Okay, fine. Law's boring. *laughs*

I would not want to assume anything about your business, especially since I know nothing about it. What kind of performer?

*Chuckles*

Singer. At least, from what I remember. Some dancing. Stuff like that.

She passed away when you were very young?

Actually, she left. *shrugs* No big, really. Just made my dad into a headcase.

Have you ever tried to go look for her or find her?

She left us? What's the point.

Some children want to know where they came from, want answers for why that parent left.

Maybe someday she'll see me on Fuse and decide to give me a ring, yeah?

Maybe, I would hope so.
