Seiko looked over at Mark and she half-smiled. She noticed that he let some of his walls slip and then he said
"I have, though to this point I have made none of it my business.
Mr. Ryder probably would not be pleased with my actions but I am not paid for intelligence gathering.
However............
I am intrigued by what I have seen and maybe, just maybe, I can help you.
But........
I can only help if you let me.
I am not the easiest person to know but many have trusted me.
Ryder trusts me to some small extent."

Seiko straightened her back and her arms went ridged under her chest and she looked at him. she saw him turn toward the targets. She heard the his breathing was a lot heavier then normal. She got up and walked over to him, put her hand on his shoulder and said
"Mark are you alright"
He turned to face her with a sort of lost look in his eyes and she asked again
"mark are you alright"
Seiko still had her hand on his shoulder and she had worry in her eyes. he replied with
"I'm sorry, you were saying... about your comings and goings?"
She looked at him and then took my hand away from his shoulder , she made it drop to her side, she was standing so close to now she could slightly feel his heat so she took a step back and said
"if you want me to trust you then you have to trust me and tell me what you were thinking just then"
She looked at him, hoping just a little that he would tell her.
