This was the first time he got to<em>enjoy</em>, if you will, the sights and sounds of the club in its usual seedy, nightly state, with the music bouncing off the soundproof walls and his poor eardrums.<br/><br/>With Kevin in tow, they had approached the building from the back, using some dirt he had on a bouncer to blackmail their way in unnoticed. A brief look around what service hallways they could poke around in freely during their limited time didn't reveal any particular clues towards their current mission objectives, but there were some things he to note that he had spotted from afar and the corner of his eyes he could pass onto big sis<del>    </del>OOPS! That was to say, he would pass it onto<em>director</em>Oei's desk at a later date.<br/><br/>The plan, all in all, seemed rather poorly stitched together. Setting out bait was an old classic, but all the elements set up around it seemed a bit...<em>flimsy</em>. Maybe he'd have to attempt a subtle inquiry as to who came up with this plan and why it was authorized. But that was just a big maybe for now. It mostly depended on whether or not things were going to go South.<br/><br/>But saying that out loud would be jinxing the mission altogether.<br/><br/>Looking over at Kevin, who sat with him at one of the tables in the lounge area surrounding one of the bars looking out onto the dance floor, he addressed the team over the comlink while making it look to onlookers as if he was speaking to the redhead with him. The near deafening music would ensure he would remain unheard by anyone that was not standing directly next to him.<br/><br/><strong>”Try to keep com chatter to a minimum. There’s one particular gang in the district that keeps scanning the frequencies twenty-four-seven, so we best not make too much noise on it or they’ll notice.”</strong>After a moment of silence and thought, he then added,<strong>”And stick to code names. <em>Boxer</em> out.”</strong><br/><br/>Good lord, did he just say all that? It did<em>notp</em>feel good to be the serious one that has to scold others for misbehaving! What was next, him saying that he was “getting too old for this shit?” The only upside to dying young was supposed to be that he could avoid becoming a grumpy old fart! He needed a drink...<br/><br/>While he had been speaking, Leasick had taken the time to observe Kevin’s body language. If the guy had been any tenser he’d be worried someone might use him as a springboard for launching projectiles into space.<br/><br/><strong>”Plenty!”</strong>he responded to the younger man’s question with a smirk as their ordered drinks arrived. Taking his glass in hand, he continued with a slight shake of his head,<strong>”But nothing we’re looking for right now.”</strong><br/><br/><strong>”Try and relax a bit, though. You’re sticking out like a sore thumb if you keep acting all tense like that.”</strong>In stark contrast to Kevin, the special agent’s mind was not at all currently occupied with Mallory or other such thoughts. In the years he’s spent working as a field agent, he’d learned to keep his mind on the task at hand when he was out in the field. Well, as much as possible, anyway. Feeling a little playful, he winked at Kev and said with a grin,<strong>”Don’t worry about anything, I’ll keep you safe.”</strong><br/><br/>Leaning back into his seat as he took a sip from his drink<del>   </del>damn, that was a strong one!<del>   </del>his amber eyes subtly darted around, looking for the type of suspicious activity that was relevant to their mission objectives. This was a bit of a risky one for him, to be perfectly honest. Due to the type of clothing he had to wear for this mission, he had to switch into the minimalist arm guard to keep his demonic limb contained. The plating was thinner and easily concealed beneath the sleeve of the shirt and jacket he wore, but it was also easily overpowered if he let loose too much of its power.<br/>
