Mr. Johnson narrowed his eyes at the explanation of Daz. If this Daz guy was for those monsters and aliens and against humans, he was an enemy. But it seemed he was an adversary for Harriet too, which meant they could work together to get rid of this potential thread. But not before he could talk with Daz about these gems, which meant he had to put a 'capture alive' notice on the mission.
"Okay. It seems like we either have to find Daz so he can't use people anymore." Or waste any of those gems, but it was best not to say that out loud. "Or we try to find the gems before he does. Tell me, what do you think will be the easiest path?"
