Julia, lightly disappointed by the lack of explicit response to her question, decided to cut to the chase, always maintaining an adamant attitude:
“Consider this a courtesy from our part; it will make your trip feel shorter to the desired training. We can always go with a less subtle way if you prefer, my bodyguards would certainly like that. It involves a bag in the head and a stun baton, but the option I am giving you is more peaceful. The effect is immediate, I suggest you to lean back to the table.”
The bodyguards started to lose the patience, but a quick look from López was enough to calm them down.
“Alpha Command has approved this, so do not worry about your safety...we will make sure that you will get your sessions. Now hurry up and swallow it, I have a schedule to fulfill; my ship needs some outfitting after our last incursion.”
Julia relaxed a bit, trying to convey some assurance to the stranger.
