Summary
Alex doesn't need to tap into his growing wealth of experience of scheming and charming D.C.’s top public figures tonight. The slightly tipsy, moronic IRS staffer sitting beside him at the bar is falling over himself to buy Alex drinks, to find an excuse to place a heavy hand on his knee, to name-drop various politicians and government officials Alex is certain he isn’t as friendly with as he pretends.
At least he’s senior enough to have the encryption key on his cellphone that Alex needs to clone for John’s hacker stuff.
This is sure to be his easiest catch yet.
---
The dark politics AU where Alex gets fostered with the Laurens family and ends up doing to all sorts of illicit dealings for his foster father.

Summary
John puts his eye to the camera's viewfinder and tries to settle his nerves.
He spots Alex right away, with his unmistakable cocky posture and shiny dark hair. John takes a picture of him alone, looking back over his shoulder with a flirty grin at someone who’s not in the room yet. It’s a nice shot. The framing is balanced and there’s a reflection on the window between them that creates an interesting dimension. John might save that one for his private collection.
Then the mark enters the room.
