"You literally just spoke in haiku. Oh god, are you poetic?" Eva stared at the man in the suit, a look of extreme bewilderment across her face. 

"As some may say that/I do not know if I am/Perhaps." He seemed to mull over this for a second while still driving. Didn't exactly make Eva feel safe. 

Now, you might wonder where I, Marcus, come in. Well, not yet. Be patient, I've yet to even see Eva again. We have a lot to catch up on, like how she hasn't been buying guns from me. If she isn't buying guns from me, that means she's buying them from someone else, that- Oh. Off track. But Handsome Jack did raid my gun shop once to find the list of who's bought guns and where, to find his wife, of course. Didn't work out for him, so he shot my assistant. 

If I was there at the time, my assistant would have been me. However, I am a very lucky man. 

"Who are you?" Eva asked.

"An assassin." The man replied.

"Do you, I don't know, go around telling everyone that? I assumed that assassins were more about keeping the fact they are assassins secret." Eva crossed her arms, sliding further down in the seat. She almost forgot that she was in his lap, and caught herself before going further. 

"I am also a Vault Hunter/So don't be assuming/I am just that." He honked his horn at a skag, which flew in front of his truck and died. 

"Did Jack send you?" Eva was prepared to literally jump out of this moving vehicle, even if it wasn't smart. But she'd rather escape from one of Jack's Vault Hunters rather than be brought in by one. That would be terrible... and the fact Jack knew that the shuttle was her was worse. He'd have Angel locked up somewhere.

"No." He replied, leaving it at that. He seemed a little sulky, if not upset with her assuming that it was Jack who sent him.

"So who did?" If it was a Vault Hunter, there must be someone wanting to know what was on that shuttle. 

"You make me talk a lot/You should remain quiet/Please do not be difficult." 

That was proof someone hired him to take a look at the shuttle and bring back whatever was in there, even if it was a person. 

"Who was it?" Eva stepped on his foot, and his head snapped down, imposing. Eva was almost afraid. A D:< emoji appeared on his...mask. "...What?" 

"I will not answer/You are being a jerk/Do not do that again." Is this really what the Vault Hunter was concerned about?! Did he not know the stakes of her life?! He stopped the car and got out. Eva was about to make a run for it, when he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder.

"Put me down!" Eva yelled. 

"Shut up." He muttered. A :| emoji appeared, and he began to walk towards the gates. They opened, and what Eva saw almost shocked her just as much as she shocked it.
