Author’s Notes: Man, it’s as hot here as it was 77 years ago in Chicago. I just finished watching Public Enemies and decided to type this up from the Queue of Doom.
The suit that is the focus of this story is the one Christian Bale is wearing in one of the DVD’s extras. The segment describes how Hoover wanted a certain type of agent and we see Christian ushered into his office wearing a suit that looks incredible on him. It really brings out his cheekbones and brilliant eyes. Enjoy! ;)

( His Mel could be quite inventive when he wanted to be. Besides, he was curious about the suit and flattered that Mel wanted his opinion. )

Author’s Note: Despite this title, this isn’t femslash, LOL, though Doris and Billie would make a nice couple, eh? Perhaps there’s a hint. ;) Believe it or not, this is GEN, folks! And sticking with canon! Will wonders never cease? ;)

( The agents left behind meant that Doris couldn’t release Billie but she sure as hell could help her. Back stiff, she ignored the eyes on her and opened the door to the interrogation room. )
