This whole thing really had her going. She needed to know what Modal was up to, had to know what he knew about Yamatetsu and the hit on her Mr. Johnson, had to know why he was trying to find her. If he was working for the other side—assuming she wasn't just being paranoid—things could get dicey. Modal was quick and dangerous; she’d seen ample evidence of that a few hours ago. She was fairly confident that with the element of surprise on her side she could take him out quick and clean. But that wasn’t what she wanted. She needed him alive, unhurt and able to answer questions. And if it turned out he didn’t have some nefarious purpose for trying to find her, she had to avoid hurting his pride or enraging him so much he wouldn't reveal what she needed to know. She sighed. Nobody said this would be easy. She checked her watch again. Come on, Modal. Hurry up . . .
