Feeling like a field trip, huh? Sounds like a bargain for me. Must be my lucky day.
[If he were a more suspicious man (hah.) he might find it fishier. But she's pissed. It's personal. No surprise she wants to get her hands dirty. As requests go, he's only surprised to get an invite. If she wanted to go get even, she didn't have to go through the motions of calling him in on it. Neither one of them is much the teamwork type—they work well and mutually beneficially off each other often enough, especially lately. Mostly from a distance—her in her corners and him in his, trading off what's useful when it counts. Out in the field's a road less traveled.
No time like the present. He takes one last drink out of his glass for show, then sets it mostly-untouched down on the counter next to hers and pulls his wallet out to pay for them—he's not springing for the info, after all. And he's getting the feeling she needs him for this a little less than he needs her.]
I hope you're ready now.
[Because he sure is. Time is escaping terrorists, after all.]
