Russell nodded.<em>"I'll see you soon,"</em>he told her as he turned to leave her uncle's house. Buckling on his helmet he took a long moment to savour the view of the swing of Niko's hips as she walked away. Abruptly he shook his head - he needed to focus on his mission rather than the delightful view.<em>Get your head back in the game, dammit!</em>Turning away he marched out of the mayor's house and caught sight of Sebastian and Jessica standing nearby, discussing various computer games as they waited for him.<em>Well, at least he's not full-blown otaku,</em>Russell thought wryly as he approached his commanding officer. "Sir, I spoke to Niko and she's willing to trade stuff on our behalf," he told Lt Black. "She knows some merchants who will give us good prices, and she said she'd meet us back at the vehicles in the town square. I sure hope we've got some extra goods they're willing to buy, or we're going to look like a bunch of morons."
