The guy- Mik?- eyed him up and down like a piece of meat. Ivan couldn't help but laugh. Was this how a girl in yoga pants felt when she walked into the gym? Like an antelope approaching a water hole occupied by lions and hyenas? He laughed at the thought. Guilty! He played along. "Great? You know it."
Ryker explained and the brief levity left him. So this guy knew Yun Kao. And if Ryker enlisted him, that meant that he was willing to... what were they going to do, anyway?
Mik seemed like he was high or something, manic- antsy anyway. The man flicked out his lighter and Ivan suddenly felt the now very familiar dread as threads of power- fire, earth, air and water- shot out in complicated patterns he had never seen before. What appeared in the sky was a dragon of fire, undulating and flying about like a kite. A kite indeed, since Ivan could see the lines that wove back to Mik, though not to his hands. From him.
Ecstacy showed on his laughing face, as people screamed with delight at the spectacle. Ivan couldnt help but smile. Soooo....maybe this was doable. The man had skill, obviously. And Ryker gave the impression of someone deadly- a knife blade, naked and undisguised. Yeah, this might be interesting.
Ryker explained his idea. Break what was apparently this new relationship between the Yakuza and the Syndicate. Or at least drive a wedge. He did like the idea.
Mik caught his eye and winked. Before Ivan could respond, the dragon started to go out of control. Heh. Evidently, this took all his attention. He quipped, half joking, half serious "Stop thinking with your dick. You might burn some people." Though come think of it, that might just be the simplest way to get rid of Yun.
He felt shame at the thought. He was no murderer. He arrested them. No, he wasn't going to get out that way, not unless his family was in front of him and threatened. Still, he was glad for the introduction. If Yun ever tried to use them that way again, Mik might be willing to take out the people holding his family
while she focused on him.
But for now...he looked at Ryker, thinking. His eye wandered, then, into the crowd. Yun had more than himself out. He saw two other plain clothes detectives, a couple beat cops,, and...shit, Lt. Petrovitch. She had always seem to have his back. Had she recommended Ivan to Yun? Kao seemed to be showing off. He didn't doubt that there might be a judge or lawyer in the crowd, though he'd probably not recognize them. He hadn't been a detective for that long so as to spend a lot of time inside a courtroom. A demonstration of what she could do for the Yakuza.
But he did have an idea. Yun had had him do a few more little things after he had gotten rid of that evidence. One of them had been to provide some security as one of her people met with some sort of manufacturer. He hadn't recognized what kind of hardware they were talking about- it wasn't like he was trusted enough to be near enough to hear, but he knew by the way the guy couldnt stop staring that they were wanted.
He looked again at the form of Petrovitch near some food cart, a slow smile forming. To Ryker he pointed with his chin. "I think I may have an idea to put Yun in a less trusting mood."
