He had been blunt in his statement. But her refusal had not changed Jacob's mind. He was going to take her with him home tonight whether she wanted it or not. Of course, the day was still young and he had stated tonight. It gave him all the rest of the day to find the right situation or the right spot. Jacob was the sort who knew what he wanted and had a tendency to get, what he wanted. Either by their choice or his. Dylan was no different, she was nothing more than another conquest for him, willingly or otherwise. Taking another sip from his coffee he looked around. To him, Dylan seemed invisible now. It was something he tried to do to intimidate her, scare her into doing something stupid he could use. Most women would go straight home, that allowed Jacob to follow them home and eventually break in. Hoping she would be like every other woman, he remained where he sat. Patiently waiting and partly enjoying his coffee. He had just queued for a while to get it, no need to ruin it now. It also helped to know who Dylan was, or rather, who her parents was. It would neat him a sizeable sum in ransom, he wagered. Having followed her for a few days now Jacob had begun to understand her schedule, even if it was chaotic and random at times he had still found the chance to be wherever she might have been at the time. It was then that he spoke again, in that eerily warm and welcome tone You have a beautiful face, anyone ever told you that? though the second he had said that, he went back to pretending like she wasn't there. Using every chance he could to throw her off balance, to shake her up and frighten her. He could work with fear. And nose, love your nose. Jacob finished before he stood up from the chair he had been sitting in and adjusted his clothes. Then, without another word, he simply walked off, content that he might have creeped her out enough that she might do something stupid, or even better, lead him straight to where she lived. Jonas didn't comment on her heavy question, it wasn't that he hadn't heard it was just far too heavy for the time. She was right, though. Acceptance and respect for the Peacekeepers was falling, rapidly. And while there was still people out there who loved them and felt safe when they saw their uniforms and hats. There still were people who wanted them gone, even going as far as to openly attack Peacekeepers. Though that only happened at night. Instead he just looked over and gave her a knowing smile, luckily he had not had the same experience, being an orphan he really didn't have a choice than joining the Peacekeepers. It was that or going underground with the rest of the criminals. At least Jonas had managed to turn his life around. A series of chuckles escaped him when he heard Bianca's statement, or was it a compliment? He couldn't tell, but her recovery of an otherwise random question amused him. And the way she stumbled over her words following was cute, attractive even. But he wanted to press the issue, tease her for her strain of thought What about you then? You think I'm a good friend-type person? the smirk plastered on his lips showed signs of his amusement. Jacob had not been blind to the effect he had on some of the women. Sure, he was handsome, a well trimmed body and a smile that made you week in the knees. He knew all of this, but he didn't let it get to him. So her comment had not surprised him as much as it possibly should, though now that she had brought it up, he wasn't going to let it die out. He would smile even more when he looked at her, wink and jest with her. She was, after all, his new partner. From what was reported, a large shipment of industrial tools and containers. As for why, I don't know. Jonas said when Bianca asked about the theft. Mostly they had been sent to investigate, not actually try and catch the thieves, that was for a more experienced pair to deal with. And with the Warehouse district being a ways off, it would leave them with a lot of time for awkward silence or further social blunders. Though eventually they arrived at the massive Warehouse. It was an entire city inside the city, warhouses in all sizes and shapes. For any and all purposes. It was a maze, and if someone wanted to disappear, the Warehouse district was the place to go, it simply was impossible to find anyone even if you wanted. I'll let you take this one, rookie. Find out what was stolen exactly and why. he ordered, it was time to get to work.
