[quote=@Letter Bee]Then to Berto, Noel responded, "If you mean Huo Ren, well, he's a very powerful Arms Master who is also a perverted asshole. He lusts for two people in this Task Force; one is Nico Makri - He's the slightly older youth with the grey hair - and the other is me. And he wants to provoke us into getting ourselves captured by him so he can have our way with us."[/quote]

Berto blinked; that wasn't the direction he expected this to go [i]at all[/i].

[color=8dc73f][b]"Well, L.T., I [i]didn't[/i], but you saying it that way makes me think I shoulda brought a longer [i]shit list[/i] to keep track of all the criminals and degenerates the Chinese are throwing at us. I meant the Russki fella, [i]Julie[/i] whats-his-nuts. Ol' Uncle Dong-Dong [i]knew[/i] what he was doing when he dropped that steaming pile of crap in our lunchbox."[/b][/color]

Berto straightened himself up a bit. [color=8dc73f][b]"[i]Respectfully[/i], L.T., this is a Rule .303 situation. It's beyond our remit, but we've got the [i]means[/i], [i]motive[/i], and the [i]opportunity[/i] to pull these thorns out of High Command's paw, so it's our duty to do it. We just have to make sure that it's [i]China[/i] with egg on their faces at the end."[/b][/color]
