Snippet #1431298

Aiden grinned and put the car in drive once more, setting out towards Mike's bar. The distance wasn't too far away and she saw no rush so she actually drove at a slow speed, well, slow according to her. She peeked in the mirror at the bag of khat laid in the car, sitting harmlessly beside Toby. She grinned in victory, knowing that that small bag would get them an in with a lot of people here. People they needed an in with, skilled mercenaries because if you weren't dead yet, well, it meant you had a certain degree of skill here. She looked back to the road, wondering how many people that would impress or how many people they would be able to bribe to help them with that small bag. Her guess wasn't that many.

"And I'm sorry about that mission. I know how it feels to lose someone important to you," She told him, leaving it at that. She didn't say anymore, not wanting to profusely apologize and get the memories into his mind once more. Aiden wouldn't be able to stand losing teammates, which was the sole reason as to why she usually worked alone. She like the socializing fact of it but when it all came down to the survival part of it, it always scared her that she would be left alive while her friends would die.

Aiden nodded at the base idea, something that made her a lot happier than they realized. She wouldn't have been able to go to the last place she had been staying at for fear of being killed in her sleep so she was expecting to sleep wherever she found a place. But an abandoned place sounded just as good. She beamed at Johnny, laughing a small bit at his joke- well, what she thought was a joke. She wasn't quite sure with him but she would take it as a joke regardless. She wasn't one to constantly stay serious, in fact, she was hardly ever serious. She knew being a mercenary and not being too serious was a generally bad combination but it didn't seem to faze her.

"Well, I'm not afraid of the dark and I don't know much about you two but I say light never hurt anyone. And for kickstarting the generator, as you guessed, I'm your girl. Anything with wires I can do," She told them with a wink. She had always been good withthings such as those and she always enjoyed fixing old things. Hell, she had fixed so many generators just in Africa alone it was uncanny.

She jerked the car sharply left and then braked it, the process a lot smoother than it should have been. She put it in park and placed the emergency break on now that they were in front of Mikes once more. She opened her door before turning around. "Don't lock your door, we'll need to get into it again and I really don't feel like crawling through the window again." She smiled at them and then hoped out of the car, turning around once more to face them. "And if you guys see him again and he makes a scene, just knock him out or something, I really don't want him leaving with the car," she added as an afterthought.

She left the car idling and she peeked through the dirty bar window to check that no one too suspicious sat in the bar, making sure the Star .45 was tucked into the loop on her jean shorts. If something went down she wanted to make sure she had a weapon but then again the weapon would make her look more menacing and take away the fact that she looked like a lost girl in Africa on a misfortunate chance. Well, they could always just assume she found it and was using it for safety, Aiden hoped that was what they would do.

"Ready?" She asked with a small grin before opening the door, not waiting for an answer.
