Nate had been too busy staring at Raven to really notice the man she had been serving. His duplicate however, Duplinate, definitely had noticed him though. He knew this man but couldn't place the name. He had seen a file at some point on this guy...Damn it! What was his name? He flipped through files in his mind until he found what he was looking for. Capricorn! They name burst into his mind. Nate had never met the man but he remembered seeing a brief file on the man. Capricorn had done contract work for the government in the past. Nate had never been entirely privy to the details of the jobs but he knew Capricorn was a Meta. He remembered reading that this guy was some sort of human lie-detector though, so he could imagine what kind of work he did. But what was he doing here? Was it just a coincidence or had he come looking for Nate? Nate didn't really believe in coincidences. Chances were Capricorn had come here looking for him. When the man took a seat at the next table, his suspicions only seemed to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, Nate had noticed a much more immediate threat. Elijah god damn Craig! What was he doing here? Nate was all too familiar with this man. Everyone knew Elijah Craig. The man had massacred the LAPD and now he was flirting with Raven. This just pissed off Nate more than he already was at the mere sight of the man. He tried to listen to their conversation but was too far away to hear anything. After Craig made a phone call however, Nate noticed Raven's expression change to one of sheer horror. He held himself back from pouncing out of his seat, his training telling him him not to cause trouble if he didn't have to. "[i]Calm and quiet[/i]" he heard the voice of his former commander say in his head and with that he eased. He watched and waited until Craig wrote something on what looked like a hundred dollar bill and handed it to Raven before leaving. Once he was gone, Nate sprung to his feet and was quickly at Raven's side. He put a hand on her arm and asked "Are you ok?"
She jumped at the touch but calmed when she realized who it was "That was--"
"Elijah Craig, I know" said Nate, cutting her off.
"He gave me his number" she told Nate, staring at the note in her hands with one eyebrow raised in confusion.
Nate took the note from her and read the number, filing it away in his mind. You never know when you'll need to call a psychopath. "Never call this number" he told her as he handed her back the note.
"What am I, nuts?" she replied in obvious annoyance.
"What did he want?"
"..What?" she asked, distracted by her own thoughts "Oh, he was calling some guy...then he asked me where club Chaos was..."
Raven trailed off, consumed by her own thoughts again. Nate probably wouldn't have cared so much about this whole encounter if it had been with anyone else. But Raven wasn't just anyone else. He actually knew Raven and cared about her. There were very few people he could say that about. "He's gone now. Don't worry about it" he told her. Trying his hand at the unfamiliar art of comforting someone.
"Yeah...Yeah" she said quietly. With one last look at the note in her hands she gave him a halfhearted smile and said "I should get back to work".

Nate watched as she strode off and shoved the hundred dollar bill into the cash register before heading into the back room. He looked back at his duplicate who had been watching the scene unfold while keeping one eye on Capricorn, who Nate was still unaware of, and gave him a quick nod as he headed out the door. He was only gone for a brief moment before he returned and took his seat next to his duplicate again.
"We good?" the duplicate asked as he typed something on his phone.
Eyes locked on the door, Nate replied simply "Three's on it". A familiar ding sounded from inside his pocket, alerting him to an incoming text message. He looked over at his duplicate, knowing exactly who had sent it. The clone only stared back with a blank expression. Nate reached into his pocket and took his phone out to read the message:

[centre]"We have another problem.
Next Table.
Samuel Capricorn."[/centre]

Nate only sighed in annoyance as he came to the same conclusion his duplicate had already come to. He glanced up at Capricorn, wondering if he had indeed come here looking for him.
