Looking up at Bane for a moment, she shook her head and smiled. Of course, she wouldn’t expect any other response from him. But before Melanie could reply, Scarlet chastised the man, eliciting a chuckle from the young woman as she made her way towards them. “Yes, I have the information. I ran into a minor [I]inconvenience[/I] on the way, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Didn’t see anyone else though, so let’s just hope they’re running late like me.” 

A second later, Melanie sat adjacent to Bane, eyeing a few bottles behind Scarlet despite the fact that she wasn’t drinking that night. In fact, she wasn’t drinking for quite some time. “Do we have a 'Plan B' for possible contingencies?” she turned to Bane, eyeing his scar as if she were drawn to it.
