Well, there went his freedom. He lamented having something of a conscience at that moment because he knew well enough that another man might well have taken less kindly to demands.<br/><br/>"If you start calling me that..." he said, with a annoyed huff.<br/><br/>Ok, so keeping what he was doing from her if she was going to tag along would be...tough, but he'd given her enough truth that it might just work out in the end.<br/><br/>"Saftey deposit vault," he said, "in the basement. There is always something good to find..."<br/><br/>As he exited the office section and came to the top of the stairs down into the basement he turned around, and slipped and arm around her back, pulling her close to him.<br/><br/>"You understand, that travelling with me isn't a paying position, and I'm not going to cut you in when I was doing perfectly well on my own right?" he asked, at least pretending he cared about the jewellery would be good, plus it would set a precedent for their immediate future.
