I must say, I love your choice of words for me, Sam.
BTW: The beginning of this is a demo of how I actually think. And sing...
Name: Sally Mishima
Age: She looks to be in her late twenties, but I suggest you don't ask for a more exact age.
Gender: Female
Personality: If you even met Mishima in a coffee shop, the last thing you would expect her of would be criminal intentions. Your first impression would be a smiling, amiable career woman. It’s this kind, seemingly-trusting attitude that has given her connections around the world. She believes information is more important that material items. She is also somewhat of a pacifist, not liking murder. However, if it’s necessary, she’ll order someone’s death.
Looks: She stands around 5’ 7.” Long brown hair braided on one side, murky green-brown eyes, and slightly tanned skin. She often wears khaki pants and baby T’s under a brown leather jacket. She wears a silver chain with a silver, diamond studded dagger hanging from it. This necklace is her signature item. In her jacket she carries a small arsenal of revolvers and pistols.
Previous convictions: Forgery, auto theft, funding illegal experimentation, stealing classified information.
Specialty: Smuggling (anything and everything)
Relationship: She’s often supplied Omaras with items he’s needed.
Weapon of choice: Dagger
Other: Insists on being called by her last name, and calls everyone else by theirs.

"One, two, tap my shoe," I said in singsong under my breath, in a French accent. It was one of my daily exercises to practice disguising my voice. And also something fun to do while in my house alone.
"Three, four, shut the door," I continued, grabbing a bottle of beer from the fridge and nudging the door shut with my hip. It was a quiet afternoon. The sun shone, stocks were high, and the smuggled Viagra shipment for a Mr. Bun had safely landed in Mexico.
"Five, six, pick up sticks." I rummaged through the drawer for a bottletop opener. The beers I got needed their caps pried off, not twisted. Perhaps later tonight I'll have a white russian. Did I have any vodka?
"Seven, eight, lay them straight," I continued chanting as I forced the lid open. It took far too much effort. I needed less time in front of the computer and more time in the gym.
"Nine, ten, a big fat hen," I finished the song, punctuating it with a slow swig of beer. Nothing new was up, I was freshly paid. Let the world do what it wished. I was ready.
Then The Phone rang. Not my public phone that most of the word knew as my own, but my business phone, the one I couldn't pick up, or ignore, without a degree of danger. I walked toward the small cellphone warily, picked it up, and held it to my face. "Mishima," I spoke quietly.
"Hey, there. It's Omaras." answered a hard, masculine voice.
"Omaras? Last I checked you had been a naughy boy and was caught for it." I relaxed. Omaras had always been a slight enigma, but he was a very dependable client, if a bit too cocky.
"They just let me out," he replied.
"How recently?"
"About an hour ago."
"Well, I believe this is a new speed record. So what do you need for this new job? My contacts in Laos say they've made friends with a company that's developed some interesting-"
"I don't need supplies just now, Mishima." Omaras cut me off.
"I don't date clients, Omaras. You know that. And unless your seeking supplies or a night on the town, I can't think why your calling me." I started slugging down my beer again. This was getting slightly annoying. What did he want?
"I want your help with a heist, Mishima. The ultimate heist." I stopped swallowing and lowered the bottle. "I'm putting together a team to pull off the biggest heist in history, a heist no one can ignore. And I want you on that team."
The ultimate heist. One to be placed in the history books. A dream that I always, I had to admit, wanted but never had the ability to reach. I had decided long ago that this Heist couldn't be preformed by any criminal, but Omaras had reached the ultimate conclusion. If a criminal can't, then perhaps a team. It was brilliant to a point, and I truly wanted to see what that point was.
"You have my interests piqued. What do you have planned?" I asked in a monotone.
"Not over the phone," he replied. I wrote down an address to meet him and the other team members at, then we hung up, not saying good-bye, as usual. I stared at the address as I went to pack. I better have a full bottle of vodka. I was drinking several white russians tonight.
