Minato must've seen his opportunity to get out of there while Angel(ica) was temporarily distracted by talking to the boy who had come up earlier. Since she had told the guy with the prothetic arm to release them, he and Minato were quick to bounce. Knox felt a grip on the back of his neck that wasn't the Wolf's. It was Minato's, and he was dragging him again through the club until they were a good distance away. Once Minato released him, he turned to face him with a look of annoyance visible on his face.

[i]“Hey man, great idea to talk to the rivals. Ryker would enjoy that! What the fuck were you doing?"[/i] he chided him. [i]"Even I know that even talking to them gives off bad vibes, man. What did she try to do, kiss you so you'd tell her where our people live? Have sex with you for the location of most of our money? You're lucky that the guy with.. fuck I don't even know him. Damnit Knox, get my beer.”[/i]

Knox blushed lightly and just shook his head.

"No, no," he assured him. "We... We were just talking about... Well, we were just talking!"

He opened his mouth to explain to Minato that his beers were probably long gone by then, but the impulsive kid had already turned to leave without saying another word. Jeez, was he that mad? Knox just stared off into the crowd scratching his head. He had already lost track of where he had gone. What was he to do now? Damn, and he had left his Natty light at the table too...

Right as he was about to wander back off into the crowd, perhaps to talk to Angelica, a female voice spoke out loudly next to him. It was smooth and cool, which it also struck Knox as friendly and trustworthy.

[i]"I'm freezing,"[/i] she told him casually. [i]"Got stood up."[/i]

Knox turned to faced her directly. She was about five inches shorter than he, but she was visibly older with long brunette hair. She was playing it super cool, leaning back, and only looking at him from the side. Knox sighed loudly and wished he had a drink, as both of his buzzes were beginning to ebb.

"Why'd you agree to meet someone in a dump like this?" Knox shouted over the music. He looked around to justify his point—the place was crawling with all kinds of human trash. Her date probably got seduced by a mob of hookers on his way in. He laughed at the thought. His gaze came back to the woman and he smiled, but this smile was mostly at his own luck. It was quite a pleasant surprise that he had been meeting all these pretty girls all in one night, and at a dump like this... Even though one of them was apparently a gangster and kinda sketchy. Either way, he wasn't going to complain. Maybe he'd soon have a fan base like Deon!

At that moment, however, his smile dropped as Minato's exasperated words rang out through his head.

"Wait," he said suddenly. "You're not gonna seduce me for information, are you?" He stared at her, and then laughed stupidly. Maybe it'd be worth it...? No, no, he couldn't betray his gang. They'd have his head. Or... whatever. Do something tortuous without killing him.
