[If there were time to spare, I would have given it to you.
That's a surprise to Ajax's ears, thinking this was just his father being very demanding, given the circumstances. He leans forward, interested in what his father had to say, knowing now that whatever it is probably isn't good for any of them. But his father continues on, his speech slow and deliberate.
Ajax, I still want to see him. Tomorrow. I have things for him here that I need him to look at. I'll have Lorenz come tomorrow as well, so this works out. He's been dying to meet the guy we outsource to when he can't take care of the job.]
I'll bring him, [Ajax responds, still wondering what his father meant by not having time.] But you've eluded to something that's new to me. Why was it that this meeting couldn't wait?
[His father lets his gaze pass across both of them, breathing in a heavy sigh before giving them what thankfully isn't bad news, but isn't good either.
That little apartment you decided to hide out in downtown, the one that even I didn't know the whereabouts to? Turns out your friends found it, and had a whole operation planned. We took 'em out about three days ago, but I refrained from saying something to you because I didn't know who was listening. Same reason why I need you here right now to talk about things. Then, they hit your office building, probably in retaliation. They work too quickly, way more quickly than we've ever known them to. But whatever happened downtown seems to of halted any plans they've got going, but you guys need to relocate, and soon.
I'm sorry, Ms. Viator. We had no idea they were gunning for your office.
Ajax's father looks at both of them, as if he is waiting for any questions in regards to that before he moves on.]
