DEFY SQUAD
DEFYs' Safehouse, Bremen

...

The Squad are waiting in the Safehouse. Ange contacted someone that could probably help them in their investigation, while they wait. Ange told Ghost to prepare, since she got a bit of a heads-up from someone. Ghost is inside his room, while the others are probably already prepared.

Ghost :Hm... (wearing his suit)

He wore his suit and looks at a mirror.

Ghost :Hm... I look too formal in this, but good looking. Lucia gonna loves this.

He picks up his Black Case and hangs it around his back, then leaves.

Ghost :They're probably finished preparing.

He goes to the briefing and sees them all prep in their disguise, but Age is just standing still. The others looked at Ghost in surprise.

Lucia :Woah, Ghost. You look, good in that suit. I love it!

Erwin :It seems that you're starting to wear a different kind of outfit. I'm suprised.

Renate :Ara~~ara~~ You look even handsome and good looking in it, Ghost~~

Lucia :(jealous)...

Antje :...

Ghost :Thank you, a friend...(looks at Lucia)...gave to me. Although, I didn't get to use this for a long time, until now. Wanna hear a fact about this suit?

Renate :I'm listening.

Ghost :This suit was given to me by a friend from America. He was a Legend back then. But sadly he died at some point in his life.

Antje :Then your suit must be a momento for you.

Ghost :Yes. Something like that. And this. Fabric is made out of very strong materials, enough to stop small arms. Except for higher caliber pistols.

Erwin :Want us to test it?

Ghost :What...? On second thought, I never tested this thing before. But not today. Let's be professionals.

Lucia :Professional my *ss.

Renate :Aw... I wanted to see how you would take it.

Ghost :... Anyway. That's all the facts I know about. Now what's with her? (gestures at Ange) She looks like a statue, just staring at the wall. Reminds me of me back at the base...

Renate :We don't know. Made a bet on how long she'll stay like that.

Ghost :How long is it?

Lucia :An hour.

Ghost :Bloody hell. What did you both bet on?

Lucia :I bet that she will last under 2 hours.

Renate :Me on the other hand, bet that she would still stay in that position for more than 2 hours.

Ghost :What the bloody hell? Well then. (to Renate) You lost the bet.

Renate :Hm?

Ghost approaches, in front Ange, too close. Then suddenly, he kisses her on the check like it was nothing.

Ange :(Comes back to reality) (blushes)...

Lucia :(jaw drops)...

Renate :(Surprised and Shocked)
