Not every run has to be successful. It's possible he could just manage the simplest solution and hijack the CDs (Recluse is the only one of us that should be touching them afterall--and Kali didn't bring her bike) We wouldn't be able to limp after him in either of the vans. That in turn could lead to uncovering this is bigger than a milkrun as Traction and the brainier bits of the team track him down and Kaz and gang hunt down leads.

Speaking about Kaz, was wondering when I was going to see that collab.

***EDIT***

That's not saying Traction didn't make good points. I think she's spot on with how most would react to pretty much any new face creeping up on a firefight.
