[Closed - Coop (Jan 5)]

She's never been to Miami before, but it was a good choice.

The number of targets here is ridiculous, but she's done her research and the man she's been spending the week with -- in a strictly platonic sense, of course -- is going to find himself missing a significant chunk of his money within the next few days and April isn't going to feel the slightest bit guilty about it.

She's never really done it consciously, tracked down men who are not only rich, but also wastes of skin, but it does lend the whole art of the con a special sort of significance when she can take money from someone who really doesn't make it in any sort of legal manner. Most of the time it's tax fraud, which she doesn't feel guilty about taking. Now and then it's drug money. Once it had been human trafficking and she'd felt so sick upon discovering that that she'd turned around and put the money back into a charity. Since then she makes a special effort to do her research.

It's easy for her to find her targets and Miami had been rich with them.

She's at dinner when she spots Coop and for just a split second, April's eyes widen. Then she manages to school her expression to near perfect blankness and shakes her head very minutely when he raises his hand to wave. She drops her hand down beside her chair and points to the door. Outside. Then she flashes five fingers. Five minutes.

This might be bad. It might be very, very bad.
