<div align="center"><strong>Alexander - The Safehouse.</strong></div><br/>Alex's approach didn't put him any more at ease. The fact that she raised her arms gave him issues... That she thought he might gun her down instead. But that was paranoia for you. On the same side? He'd been down that road before. The people who called the shots and gave you orders rarely cared how you ended up, just that what was ordered got done. Then they'd tell you everything would be alright, but when you're down and getting kicked, no one was there to pick you up, because the people you can trust are right there next to you. Just as helpless as you are.<br/><br/>"I Know you went AWOL" Alexander said, glimpsing too to the man as he approached. "I Was offered your contract" Alex told her, then walked inside the house. He pretty much knew where to go, and sat down at the table, glimpsing around the table as he did. He did feel slightly over dressed in his tactical gear, but it also meant that in case of a raid or something, he'd be the only one with a chance. Gas would floor everyone to start with, and when the soldiers came through the windows and doors, and he thought that only one or two besides him would have eye implants, so some wouldn't even see them coming - literally.<br/><br/>Looking over everyone the moment they were all seated made Alex really think. Besides Anne and Alex, it didn't seem like anyone had actually served time in the military. Then there was prison. No one here seemed to have seen the world from behind bars. Alexander had been in a PoW camp during the war... Policing in Malaysia, right after his squad was abandoned by Anne and her troops. At this point, Alex had to peel his glare from Anne and look around again. It wasn't her fault, at all. But Alexander had to blame someone for what happened to him there. And Alexander blamed everyone. Looking at what else was at the table, it didn't seem like anyone had had any official training. Private contractors or home schooling jobs. It wasn't to say they were unskilled, but Alex would prefer everyone here was an ex soldier. There was honor, respect, and a brotherhood among soldiers. Here it was all about the money. Alex was here for the money, too. But for the right reasons.<br/><br/>And, was that girl half naked? Alex looked to the inappropriately dressed young girl, and was shocked to see the resemblance. She looked quite similar to a girl Alex had shot in the head during his time tracking terror cells. But her skin was light, and she didn't look foreign at all. Nevertheless, when Anne spoke of her getting naked, Alex simply looked away. She wasn't appealing to Alex at all. Alex had eyes for his wife, and now that she was gone, loneliness was on the table for Alexander.
