Work Text:

Joe was trying to start the car.

 

Nicky: "You're shocking the car."

Joe: "Am not. I know what I'm doing."

 

The car made another noise. Nicky looked into the back, where Nile was hiding under a blanket.

 

Nicky: "How are you doing back there?"

Nile: "I'm so going to need a shower when we get back to the safe house. When was the last time you cleaned this car?"

Nicky: "Sometimes in the 80's. And you're still shocking the car, Joe."

Joe: "Still not doing it. Is just that the car is speaking German and I the language of love."

 

Nicky smiled at Joe before he looked out of the window.

 

Nicky: "Nile, those who are after you. Are they from Easten Europe?"

Nile: "Beats me. They shouted something I didn't understand before they started shooting after me when I stole the USB drive."

Nicky: "Stay under the blanket, and Joe. Please start talking in the language of love."

 

Nile knew as she pulled the blanket over her head just as Joe and Nicky got out of the car, that with the language of love, Joe would recite a poem or something for Nicky. When they stood outside, Joe started saying something in a language he knew only Nicky would understand, and it didn't take long before they had attracted a crowd, who was fascinated by the two men.

 

Nicky, as he stormed past one of the men he suspected were after Nile: "Incredible. He dares accuse me of forgetting to put gas on the car."

 

Nicky then bumped into the other man before turning a corner. After walking a couple of streets, he was picked up by Joe.

 

Nicky with a smile: "Look what I got. Brand new toys."

 

Nicky held up two guns before taking a closer look at them.

 

Nicky: "And it's the newest model."

Joe: "You deserved them."

Nicky: "Thanks; how are you doing under there, Nile?"

 

Nile peeked out under the blanket.

 

Nile: "My back is sore because I have been lying on something hard."

 

Nile moved a bit to the side and found what she had been lying on.

 

Nile: "A Rubic cube. Why do you have a Rubic cube?"

 

Nicky laughed.

 

Nicky: "That belongs to Joe. He was totally obsessed with that thing back in the 80's. He never solved it, but what bothered him even more was that I did it."

Joe: "I still say you cheated. No, human being can solve that thing within five seconds...."

Nile: "Solved it. You were saying, Joe?"

 

Joe grumbled the rest of the drive back to the safe house.
