            ' āe ( yeah ) , ' he murmured , gaze averted in hopes of offering the woman some semblance of privacy , to gather her composure without scrutiny . 
            it wasn't a smart tactic , of course , one he could come to regret . specgru wasn't the same as the new zealand army , their enemies were numerous , instigators rather than support . 
            he eyed her weapon and posture , realising his mistake . 
            
            ' i understand why you did , threaten me that is . i won't lie to you , this job is fucked , and the good cunts get killed . ' 
            
            rhys knew he wasn't the best person to offer comfort , much less to a suspected enemy soldier , nor did he know the full story . . . but he was a people person , cared more than he should . his family didn't raise a coldhearted soldier , no matter how much his service had stripped and rebuilt of his person . 
            
            ' just take a breather , mate , we can figure this bullshit out later . '

            Anna had started things off the wrong way with him; one couldn't really expect of her to be logical after something like this, though. She had dealt with a lot during the times she served in the Russian Army, things that had changed her forever — in face of situations that reminded her of it, her instinct was all about reaction, about vengeance, and not really to stop and think through every step in a rational way. Now, that she was in fact here, she could see clearly that it had been a mistake. The person standing in front of her wasn't at fault, as he told her himself, he had just got here. "They were just doctors... taking a vaccine to the poor, to people who needed help," she clearly wasn't talking with him, anymore, just... lost in her own head, in her own grief. "And I failed to protect them." she looked over at him, then, regret in her eyes. "I'm so sorry for threatening you, that was messed up — everything's messed up."

            his current employer always had a reason for doing anything , runt just hoped he wasn't conversing alone with a known enemy of the contractor .
