Serge took a slow breath in and curled his lips inward when Jack flashed a knife. Serge suspected that he either didn't make it clear enough to her earlier that she shouldn't be fucking this up for them or she was just doing this to assert that she wasn't the one to take those kinds of instructions. In the end, none of them -- least of all, Jack -- could ignore the consequences of reality.

"Jack?" Serge intoned slowly and with no lack of frustration held back. "You want this job? You're gonna put away that blade." Only at the end of his words did he shift his eyes up to hers.

Andi's words were added as well and were likely more effective. Jack calmed down and Serge could finally turn his attention back to Mister Wu.

"You'll have to forgive my colleague. She's very passionate about work." Serge was partially defeated under his words, but waved a hand just enough while talking to keep Mister Wu engaged. "Now, to answer you properly, this...is not my first retrieval. I understand that matters like this can be sensitive for your employers. So, we'll retrieve this asset for you, in the manner you've requested, per our services. Before you know it, we'll have exchanged as invoiced, and we can both go some place far apart from one another and sip a cocktail for a good day's work done. That truck won't take that asset anywhere we can't get it."
