[color=silver]Andreas brought his breathing down and listened, he wasn't going to be caught peaking from his hiding place. He heard a slumping sound, like weight hitting the ground and risked looking. He saw the taller man now hunched over the other.

[color=gray][i]"Right then, allow me to rephrase my inquiry. Tell me where the Engineer was last seen, or I'll have you feet up."[/i][/color]

[color=silver]Andreas listened in, he'd get the information he needed and go, all he had to do was stay here a little longer - with any luck he'd beat this Xil Gil to the location and then stay one step ahead of him. If push came to shove, he wouldn't be too far behind Xil and could confront him if there was a need after they found the elusive engineer; no need to make himself known now.

[i]The Velvet Grove[/i]. Andreas recognized the name, he'd partied there his first night a few days ago in the zone. For all he knew he'd probably bumped into, come across or even socialized with his objective and be none the wiser. He pondered on it, but only for a moment as more ruckus distracted him, Andreas once again peaked from his cover and caught sight of the man being kicked violently to the ground before his assailant wrapped his hands around his neck and began to squeeze. Xil spoke but to Andreas it sounded like nonsense although had the undertone of causing harm or worse. Instinctively his grip tightened further on his handgun, for a brief moment he almost ran out and confronted Xil Gil - But why? Who was this man to him other than a stranger among a society that put little to no respect on life, humans were a dime a dozen. His grip loosened as he reminded himself to stick to the plan but kept his eyes on the event as it went down.[/color] 

[color=silver] As Andreas watched, it would have been no more than a couple of seconds when something came over him that he couldn't quite explain. He brought himself upright, boots scraping off the gravel and focused his sights on the back of the cyborg's head, taking quick steps towards him, [color=gray]"Enough!"[/color] His voice was amplified but not quite shouting, a commanding tone.[/color] [i][color=gray]Shit.[/color][/i] [color=silver]Hindsight was a curse, or it seemed especially so now at least, Andreas immediately regretted the action and was still dumbfounded as to why he'd acted.[/color]
