D didn't even flinch at the explosion of the mega-phone, instead he looked over at Loretta who was a bit more focused on Jynx at the moment, now that he knew her name and was relieved. He radioed the pilot. "<span style="color: red">Jynx, the wild one, she might be coming up. Apologize to the group on the ridge for this taking so long, Project 19 is an interesting one, so we need to take the time. Just don't want to hang around so long that we run into the Legion.</span>" He cycled off the radio,  He turned to Annie who was cowered by the vehicle.<br/><br/>"<span style="color: red">Annie, stay low and hang tight, there still is a good chance I might need you if or when he comes here.</span>" He turned to Becca again,<span style="color: red">"Becca, the Radaway is in Annie's bag, plenty of it. Take as much as you need. and go, I won't go with you. Though one thing...</span>"<br/><br/><span style="color: red">"Tell him this: Of course, we want something. We are not making this offer from the bottom of our hearts or for the kindness to human kind. Everyone wants something. But one thing he can know is that we don't want him to come with us, under duress. We don't want him to come with us without his consent. We want what he may or many not know, and the only way to do that is through cooperation and mutual benefits. So, we are benign in this case. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain if he believes that we do want to help him, because by us helping him, we also help ourselves. My employer can go into the details if he chooses to meet her</span>."<br/><br/>And with that, D stepped out from behind the car wreck, out in the open exposed with his hands up by his head and turned in a circle, out in the direction that the gun fire came from, just staring out making himself a clear and easy target.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>One thing Duos knew, the pain and the annoying buzz/static in his head was subsiding the closer he got to D.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
