he had done another job not long ago. lately he had been living among the common people for cover, as one of his hideouts had been exposed and there were still some cases left in that part of town

Damn, she noticed him too... Well, he could either leave her be and risk being exposed himself if anyone questions why the girl is alive when all others are dead or... he could use this to his advantage somehow. He frowns, considering the possibilities.

Well... If he plays it right, he could make her useful. Better keep an eye on her until he comes up with a plan. He signals to one of his men, who nods understandingly and begins tailing the girl at a distance.

The girl's reaction interests him even more now. He decides to follow her for a while when she leaves, just to see where she goes and what kind of person she really is. There might be something useful in that as well. As she turns around the corner, out of his sight for now, he motions for one of his men to join him instead.

Hmm... A normal house, nothing too special about it. Could be her home or someone she knows lives here. Either way, following her to this place gives him an excuse to visit it as well. He nods at his man and whispers instructions for what information they should gather while inside the house.

As they approach the house cautiously, one man enters stealthily while another acts as a lookout. Inside, they split up to cover more ground quicker and gather any useful information. The suspicion piqued earlier now grows into something much stronger - there might be something worthwhile hidden behind this girl's innocent facade after all...

Following the girl's trail led them to her second-floor apartment. The door was shut tight and there were no signs of forced entry anywhere nearby. Curiosity growing stronger, Kaer signals for his men to remain vigilant as he cautiously knocks on the door. He knows it would be best not to break in without knowing what's inside, even if she might have information crucial to his plans.

"Hello..." he answers in the same soft tone she used, glancing around cautiously as he tries to peer past her into the room beyond. There's something guarded about this girl; it makes him wonder what secrets might lie hidden behind those eyes of hers. "I hope I'm not disturbing anything important."

Kaer looks around at her living space again, noting the various knickknacks and keepsakes scattered about. It seems innocent enough, but something tells him that this girl is hiding more than meets the eye. "I didn't mean to startle you," he says apologetically, careful not to lower his guard for even a moment. "I was wondering if I could maybe talk to you about... well, what brought me here in the first place."

There's an almost dangerous smoothness in his voice now as he looks her directly in the eyes, searching for any signs of duplicity. He knows that she likely has information vital to whatever scheme he's currently cooking up - it's just a matter of getting it out of her without giving away too much about himself or risking anything else in the process.

The tension in the air grows heavier with each passing moment, the space between them feeling charged and

The air between them crackles with suspicion and apprehension as she reluctantly invites him inside. Something tells him that she knows more than she's letting on, but how to get her to trust him enough to spill whatever secrets she's hiding? He can feel the sweat beading at his hairline as he tries to come up with a plan of attack.

For now, he decides to play it cool. "Thank you," he says quietly before stepping inside, careful not to brush against anything that could be construed as threatening. His eyes flicker over the room once more, taking in every detail before returning to rest on her face. "I really appreciate your cooperation."

His voice is smooth and non-threatening, almost gentle - a far cry from his usual cold, cutting tone. The effect is unnerving; it seems like even the air around them has grown tens

"Actually," he says softly, "I prefer green tea." His voice is quiet but steady as he watches her carefully, his expression unreadable. "But whatever you have will be fine."
