Finding a bar in the nexus wasn't too difficult, as there were a lot of them around. It was a bit of a dive, which likely made Leon and the newly clean cut Kevin look out of place, but it didn't seem to bother Leon none. He walked up to the bar and ordered a couple of beers, which were promptly placed on the bar for them.

"So, since when do 'responsible' and 'Kevin Ryman' belong in the same sentence?"

He really can't wait to hear this story.

There was a pause. He hated that he has to think of how to phrase this.

"STRATCOM likes to keep an eye on everything. They like to know what's coming.

"No one saw this coming. Which means they don't know what's coming after. They haven't been this caught off guard since Ashley got kidnapped.

"And even worse? It all happened on foreign soil. Out of our direct jurisdiction, so now Italy can use Birkin as leverage in some kind of international political power play."

Leon downed more of his beer.

"So, yeah, batshit, while the people up above try to figure out how to get the situation back under their control."

Kevin just about blanks out. Politics fucking suck at the best of times.

"That's some complicated shit, man." He scratches an eyebrow. "How's your position in the agency going? Open for promotion sometime soon? They work you like a fucking dog."
