Gabriel tapped his fingers impatiently on the ceramic counter top. Of course the one day he needed to see Moira promptly she was late for work.

He looked at his watch. Half an hour late and counting. This wasn't like her. This wasn't like her at all.

Amidst all of Gabriel's frustration, there was a sliver of concern for the geneticist.

"Are you waiting for Moira, Gabey?" Sombra walked into the room.

"Do you know where she is?" He spoke through gritted teeth.

"No idea."

"Then stop wasting my time."

"Although..."

" Yes?! "

Sombra took her sweet time circling the lab table before finally responding to Gabe.

"Maybe she's spending time with her new friend~"

"What are you talking about?"

With a swift motion of Sombra's hands, she opened up what looked like security footage.

"Sombra, I don't have time for this!"

"Shhh, just watch."

The security footage looked to be on the outside of a building. Sidewalks and a parking lot made up about 90% of the image. It was hard to make out as the sun began to set.

A door swung open on the bottom of the screen, and out stepped a woman. She slowly walked over to a black car and sat inside the passenger's seat.

"That looks like the doc's car."

"Just keep watching."

A few minutes later, a ginger woman stepped out of the establishment as well, and began to carry a bike.

"That's Moira, right? Didn't know she rode that."

"Shut up and look!

Moira placed the bike in the black car's trunk and sat in the driver's seat.

Sombra ended the video there and smiled at Gabe expectantly.

"Moira drove somewhere with a friend, I don't see what the big deal is here."

"Ay! Don't you see who that is?" She furiously zoomed in on the blonde woman's face.

"Angela..." Gabe murmured. The familiar face sent a weird shock throughout his body.

"Yes! Don't you see!" Sombra gave a smirk and stared sharply into Gabriel's eyes. "There's something going on between them. I'm not sure what, but either way it can't be good."

He scoffed "I think you may be overthinking this one. Moira has been loyal to Talon for almost a decade, why should we distrust her now?"

"She betrayed Overwatch before, what makes you think she can't do the same to Talon?"

"Ahh.." Gabe rubbed his neck, hesitant to answer. "That's different ... Overwatch was limiting her scientific research, but Talon? We support it."

"¡Idiota! Do I have to spell it out for you?! She gives herself to the highest bidder, there's no use in loyalty in her mind. If Angela can make a better offer than ours then that's it! We've lost our scientist."

Sombra stared impatiently at Gabe as the wheels began to turn in his mind. 

"¡Ay dios mio!" She murmured as she began to furiously tap on the icons that hovered below her fingertips. Within seconds she pulled up another document. This time, it was an image.
