Jacob frowned a little. He had heard of Bartos a few times before, so he remembered it vaguely. "Bartos huh...I seem to remember being told he's not exactly kind to people that try to scam or steal from him..." He sighed, shaking his head. "Well whatever. It's not like this is the most dangerous job I've done so far. I will warn you about one thing though. If you're captured and I can't see a decent way to rescue you I'll probably leave you behind. I'm all for trying to keep a client safe, but not if it's almost certain I'll get captured or worse in the process." Sure, the man could keep his mouth shut or lie about his intentions. But he preferred his clients knowing exactly what they were getting into. 

"On that note, I'm gonna grab something in case things do go wrong and you can't stick to your plan. If I have to pick you up somewhere else for instance." Once again the man headed upstairs, and some rummaging through drawers could be heard along with some muttering along the lines of [i]"where did I put those things again?"[/i] In the mean time Peanut came up to Rei and started sniffing at her feet. Since Jacob had indicated that she could be trusted he was now a bit curious about this new person on board. A bit later he came back down, now holding two walkie-talkies. "Here, you take one with you. they have a range of a kilometre on their own, and a kilometre and a half when I'm on my ship. Since I have a better receiver here. I've set them both to frequency 460.6." The device was a bit bulky. Around 20cm in length, 7 in width and 5 in depth. But they had to be to provide decent range, and they could be a life safer at times.
