They Found Me

[Nox]

Nox listened to the dead man speak. Sage was busy, sitting forward on the edge of the bed but not paying any attention to Nox himself. He was off in the ones and zeros and still heard every word of their conversation.

"A bunch of times, huh?" Nox smirked. Normally when someone says they've watched him a bunch of times there is a want of a favor that follows it up. Usually from some fan girl who "saw" his videos and wants to hang out. Since Oriena had offered he'd told most of them not tonight, he usually had other plans. And well he was pretty sure that's not what Connor met -- he was obviously married. Which was news to him. Not that it mattered the guy was cool enough, even if his girlfriend, sorry wife was his so-called mark, he hadn't taken her off the radar, just said he'd take the case. And obviously Connor didn't know Nox wasn't exactly Atharim loved at the moment. Though he was once again working for them.

Connor was thinking like a dad. Something Nox was starting to get a feel for. He didn't need a friend, and he surely didn't need any help. But there was one thing bothering him. "How did you know I was in the States?" That wasn't common knowledge, and well he hadn't even been on the ground long enough for anyone without hacker in their back pocket to know that he was even here. So how does some friend of Aria's know he's here. There had to be a catch. What did he want.
