And if I let somebody else handle it? Maybe a trained professional?
Ivan hands Flora his PDA, on it, a picture and a brief overview of Wallace Emmerich.
Someone like him.
What do you think, does he look like somebody who stepped in a lab?
You do know that where there is a demand, there is a supply.
I would've much rather got it from you, but if you won't deliver, then I have no reason to keep Xalo away, the man will blow himself up if it means killing you.
The man grabbed his PDA back and folded his arms.
If you have nothing more to add, then our business here is concluded.
Flora only briefly looked at the PDA. Once Redfire took it away, she only observed him in silence.
- I'm not in it for money. And I'm not afraid of Nunes. He's a pathetic excuse of a mercenary, if anything. Let him come. - she said when he finished speaking. - Maybe I'll finally get a chance to rid Sirius of that fool for good. - she then took one more sip of her wine. - If the bacteria is all you wanted from me, we indeed may as well part our ways now.
Xalo noticed he had a message from Redfire on his PDA. He was surprised that he was giving out Flora's location. He got suspicious, maybe it was a trap? Maybe they both wanted to ambush him? The chance that he could kill her was still to tempting, he couldn't turn this down. Xalo rushed towards the docking hangars.
Contrary to Xalo's suspicions, and quite possibly much to his liking, Flora was alone. She was swiftly walking along the line of landing pads, headed directly towards her Falcon. It was a relatively new ship, and it was pretty obvious that its owner was taking care of it. Flora seemed a little thoughtful, and almost subconsciously avoided colliding with other people.
Xalo noticed someone who looked like Flora entering the hangars. He moved in a little closer to make sure it was her. Hey! Quit walking! I'm not letting you get away this time. Xalo kept walking towards her with an agressive stance.
- Goddess, not again... - she accelerated, not too happy with the possibility of confornting Xalo again. She then cursed the station-wide ban for side arms. A single pistol would make the situation so much simplier. It then occured to her that she actually has one on her ship. Flora accelerated a bit more, making her way to the ship while walking as fast as she could without drawing suspicion from surrounding people.
I TOLD YOU TO STOP. Xalo starts charging at her, ignoring everyone around in the hangar. He takes a shard from a broken bottle that he picked up back at the bar while fighting Redfire. Xalo starts shouting like a maniac with the shard in his hand, closing the gap between him and Flora. Then as he was about to reach a distance of just a few short meters, Xalo trips and falls down.
Flora decided to keep calm, counting on other people to stop the aggressor soon enough. What she didn't count on, however, was for the aggressor to stop himself on his own. She even slowed down in disbelief. After a moment of observation, followed by an amused smirk, Flora stopped.
- Can I help you? - she asked, maintaining a bit of safe distance.
Xalo was feeling a little dizzy from the fall. He looked around and noticed Flora trying to help him. He thought she was going to try and kill him, why else would she be offering to help him? Xalo realized how many people were in the hangar, so against his instincts he tried to calm himself down and take Flora's help not to attract security. Y...Yeah... sure.
