Roman was waiting in the docks.... Waiting for the woman he had invited. He was dressed in his usual business suit attire, complete with hidden holsters for his two ever present side arms. He also had one of his men close at hand for just in case. After all one didn't get far in his line of work by being careless.
Which is why he also had a five snipers hidden in the surrounding area. But if all went according to place there wouldn't be any need for them. Catwoman would just show up, take his offer leave. In all honesty Roman didn't care what she did.... So long as she didn't cross him.
He looked around and listened to his surroundings. He could tell the time he had stated in his invite was drawing near. Now to see if Catwoman would show.

Oh Roman. He'd been one of the many to leave her a message on her phone. Of all her 'friends and acquaintances' on this side of the law, she hadn't been expecting him to call her, asking for a meeting. Didn't he know that the Iceberg or that little bistro on 88th worked just as well?
As she had already suspected, he had other men in place around the docks. He was early, she was early, but she was still looking at things. His setup. Especially considering he was so wary of her; just a thief. Maybe he had been talking to Jonathan too much as of late. Unless there was a good reason, Catwoman, or even Selina Kyle was little to be feared.
Walking out onto the dock, she was half in her costume, half not, an interesting combination of her boots, a trench coat, her gloves, and a partial mask. With 'Black Mask' it was always better to be a bit more prim and proper, but to also, well, play the part. Walking to where he was, she offered a hand, and a greeting:
"Roman, good to see you again. I was away for a bit, holiday you could say. But you have business for me, you had said?" She didn't bother with chitchat, or catty witticisms. They wouldn't quite be fun with him.

"Hello my dear." Roman said. "What no cat comments? Why I'm hurt." He said in mock sadness. He had slightly suspected her to try to taunt him. Or at least make some comment about cats. He then looked at her outfit and tilted his head. "I see you're all dressed up."
"Straight to the point." He said. "I like that." He clasped his hands behind his back and took a step towards her. "There is a certain something I want you to steal." He said eying her to make sure she didn't try anything. "I want you to steal an experimental device from a weapons lab in Gotham." Then he looked at her with an air of menace in his eyes. "Are you willing to try it?" He asked. There was no need for her to know what he was wanting her to steal.

Selina offered a half-hearted shrug, barely lifting her shoulders. "When on holiday, sometimes it takes a bit of time to get back into the swing of things..." Was her dry retort. As he stepped closer, she held her ground, raising a mere brow when he made his 'offer.' Or was it a challenge?
"Well, there are several places I could go for that, Roman. Could you possibly be a bit more specific before I give you my answer? Location, size of the object, and my payment would all be quite helpful you know..." She purred, not caring exactly why or what he wanted said 'mystery object' for.

"Well I wanted to make sure you listening first." He said. "The object I want you to steal is no larger then a flash drive." He looked at her to make sure she was listening. "On said flash drive there are blueprints to a device that I'd love to get my hands on." Then he waved his hand. "This device is in one of the subsidiaries of Wayne Tech."
He then looked her over. "And about your holiday." He said. "Welcome back." He finished spreading his hands with a skull like grin on his face.

She raised a brow. A flash drive? And a division of Wayne Tech? Interesting....but part of it reeked of a set up. Getting into any of Wayne's properties was a headache.
"While I appreciate the welcome back, Roman, the size, and location may require a bit of an ...extra incentive for my expertise. Also, you know the standard; I'd need blueprints, an idea of where the item is...and maybe in this case, an advance." She added flatly, her green eyes boring into his black, skull mask.

Roman glared at her considering whether or not he should go ahead and give her an advance. He thought some and then decided that he could at least try to negotiate abit. "Well as for the size I'm sure that getting your hands on a flash drive for a computer wouldn't be too hard for you." then he paused. "But you do have a point on the location." He looked at her for a while longer before deciding what to do. "I will have the blueprints delivered to you before you set off to complete this job." He said without letting the possibility of her not doing this job to cross his mind. "And I was expecting you to ask for that." He said referring to her request for an advance. He procured a slip of paper from his jacket pocket. "This is how much you will receive before hand. And the rest will be given to you afterwards." He paused to let those words hang in the air for a while before adding. "It that satisfactory?"

He was being nice to her. At least a teeny bit respectful, which was more she was asking for. And honestly, who else was he going to get to steal something from Wayne's company if she didn't? No one. That's who. So as she took the slip of paper and peered at the two scribbled numbers, she folded it back up neatly before tucking it into her pocket, and raising a brow at the black masked man.
"You must really want this flashdrive, Roman. Two days, I want the blueprints, and location. Give me 5 days after that, and I'll have it done."

Roman looked at her and considered what she said. Well seeing as he really didn't have any other thieves he could turn too for something like this he couldn't rightly anger her.
"Fine I'll have someone deliver the blueprints in two days." He said before pausing. "But if at all possible try to get it too me in less then five days." He added in a diplomatic tone. He wasn't really able to force her to do this. Seeing as he had nothing to black mail her with. But if he did he wouldn't have hesitated to do so. But even though he was agreeing with her. He still glared at her ready for any chance to get even more out of this deal.

"Or sooner, if you want your item before the week's time, Roman." Smiling plainly, Selina bit her tongue. Sometimes it was more difficult to keep emotion out of it with men like him. Considering she really didn't have much more to say to him, she nodded curtly, and offered a hand.
"Well, it was good doing business with you. You know where I'm at, and how to reach me if there are any issues. And I'll find you once I have your flashdrive."
Now, all she had to do was wait, plan, and go. Simple as that. Then collect the rest of her payment. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a small business card with a number scrawled on it.
"Use this. I'll be expecting the first deposit of the payment within three hours." Easy business transaction. With a not so always easy person. Meow.

Roman watched her as she stated when she wanted the first part of her payment. He reached out and took the offered hand giving it a firm shake. But before he let go he pointed at her with his other hand. "Its a deal but you better not cross me." He said. "Otherwise you'll pay." He added almost in a growl.
He then let go of the offered hand. "You'll get the first part of you payment in three hours. I'll have someone drop it off." He stated taking a step back. He didn't like working with a woman like her. Things would be so much easier if he knew he could walk in and grab the lash drive himself.

Selina winked at the macabe masked man. Who was clearly unnerved with her. "Of course, Roman. Two hundred and seventy one minutes and I'll be checking my account. We'll be in contact. And you know I don't go back on deals." Especially when Wayne was involved. Those sort of gigs were fun.
Releasing the man's hand she turned and started walking back to land, off the pier. It didn't take her long to remove the stifling mask. It was never the same without being fully clad in leather from head-to-toe. But sometimes you just had to do it to please the clients.
