Wow, Elena. He is just another Commune guy, the Operative thought as he witnessed her rather intimidated behavior and stance. Since he was only here to watch her back, the Operative remained next to her, however coming a step closer to her, to grab her arm if she really wanted to get closer to him. This guy was creepy, he felt. He probably was that intimidating to her for a reason. Without any word, he would just stay close to her, eyeing Bassam and his body language, and every now and then he would throw a glance to their surroundings.
