fic: The West Coast Two-Step (Part Two, 21/?)

I've been apartment hunting. The one I saw today was in a not-so-great neighborhood, and when I walked up to the steps there were two crotchedy old men on the stoop. One man was blind in one eye, all whited out, and the other man was missing an eye altogether. The apartment windows were duct-taped together, and the roof access (via fire escape) was, as the would-be-roommate put it, "totally safe, probably."

So, the search continues.

Meanwhile, a new chapter of western!AU. It's a meaty one, too. As usual, I'm rubbish with emotional dialogue, so let me know if anything seems heavy-handed. I'm sure some of it is, since I always tend to make my characters too emo during a first draft :O
