[Kate flinches instinctively when he draws the gun, but of course it's set to stun. There's been so much death today that she can't help her initial reaction, but this is Lavi. It's fine. They're both fine, at least for now.
That pointed use of the word "we" doesn't escape her notice, though, and she studies him for a second before reaching for his hand, lacing her fingers with his. He's not as neutral as he claims, and they both know it, but at least he's not lying to her. She can deal with this, she thinks, as long as he doesn't really view her as just a source or a pawn. So she gives him a little tug.]
Come on. I know somewhere.
[The rioting has taken over the city, but it's mostly restricted to the main streets, so Kate leads them down a few back alleys until they find a steel door set into the brick of an old building. There's a small, faded sign next to it that marks it as some crappy little bar, and when she unlocks the door, it's clear why she picked it. There are no windows or any other exits, and it's quiet. When the door shuts behind them, it's almost as though the rest of the city has disappeared.]

The owner asked me to keep an eye on it.
