[ he can bargain all he wants, olly isn't going to budge. ]

Some of them. I ain't the only homicides investigator on this case. [ unfortunately, he seems to say. because nobody is as good as him, of course. not that he doesn't welcome their help because realistically, he can't quite handle all of the details of the work, he just wishes the help he would get came from... well, possibly his own clones. alas. ]

[eternalboy]

[ more Olivers. just what the world needs. ]

Yeah, well, when you or one of your little helpers [ he caught the tone he used. ] go to have a word with Bela's best friend, Hailey, you might want to take it easy. That's all I'm asking.

[ he hasn't seen Oliver interact with a lot of people yet but he can already imagine how he treats suspects and witnesses. Ben might not be the most sensitive guy around but even he knows that the last thing his niece needs right now is to be scared to death by this big mr asshole over here. ]

[avers]

[ his eyebrows lift just a fraction and he tilts his head. "little helpers"? what is this idiot talking about. if anything, he's the rookie. if he keeps talking like that he won't last much as part of Elkin's sheriff department for much longer. still, he doesn't offer a comment and instead takes another drag of the cigarette ]

And all I'm askin' is for people to stop hirin' idiot, but we can't always got what we want, innit?

[ this is his way of saying suck my dick ]

[eternalboy]

[ talking to this guy is like running against a stonewall, getting up and running at it again. fullspeed. ]

We can always hope?

[ by the way this conversation is going his hope is slowly fading but he's too stubborn to give up though. ]

Listen, it's not an easy time for her. Or for anyone. Besides, I doubt she knows much. If something weird was going on she would have told her father, I'm sure of it.

[ if this leads to Oliver acting like a dick on purpose Trent is going to strangle Ben, isn't he. well, good thing he doesn't need to know about this chat. ]

[avers]

[ he's checking his watch while ben talks, like not giving any thought at all to what he's saying. he doesn't even look at him when he speaks, cutting him off so that his last words are drowned out by his; he's looking at the roof of the resort. ]

Mr. Vaughn, I'd advise you against tryin' to tell me how to do my job. Just do what I told you to.

[ conversation over, that's what he's trying to say. he won't wait for him to answer and instead starts moving to the resort ]

[eternalboy]

[ first he's rudely interrupted and then the guy is already walking away. ]

[ typical. stares after him. ]

Yeah, just let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

[ spoilers: he won't do shit. ]
