"Here. In an hour? Two? However much time you want." He's seen the place a hundred times and it ain't new to him any more. And anyhow, whatever agenda Lara's got -- and he's sure she's got at least one of those if not more -- probably never involved sticking by his side the whole time they were here. She's never struck him as that kind of lady and if she was, he wouldn't have offered to bring her here with him.

But he's been wrong once or twice before in his life, and she's free to prove him wrong again this time. The fuck, right? Live and learn. One thing he appreciates about her is she's kind of a master of doing the opposite from what she says, even though she makes it seem like her intentions are pure and honorable. Like the hand on his waist now: she ain't laying claim to him, even though that's probably what it looks like in case anyone's watching. Nah, she's friggin' buyin' herself some time, assessing the situation, being a good little terrorist or whatever the fuck she really is.

Actually, he kind of likes not knowing.
