Not entirely paying attention to Vin's question's, Nate continued to stare at the photo he held in his hands. The image of the girl affected him more than he cared to admit. But now was not the time for that and he shoved the photo into his pocket before answering Vin. "JJ is entirely unimportant to this. She made her decision. She's out. She's just some girl who gets into trouble a lot so this guy that works with her asked me to keep an eye on her. Keep her safe."

"Well..." began Duplinate. "That's not entirely true."

Nate shot him an angry look which the clone saw in the rearview mirror. "Stop contradicting me. It's getting annoying...And really weird."

Duplinate rolled his eyes at that and informed Vin "She's some rich girl. She was at that gala too and she's one of the few to walk out alive and in one piece..." He thought about that for a second and giggled at the inadvertent joke. "We were hired to protect her, [i]that[/i] much is true but--"

"Stop talking!" demanded Nate as he cut his clone off. He was clearly annoyed and sat up, sticking his head in between Duplinate and Vin. His expression of annoyance was quickly replaced by his usual smug smirk mixed with curiosity as he turned to address Vin. "Why so interested in little miss bossy britches? Just curious huh?"

Duplinate chuckled at that and commented "Yeah, the same way I'm curious about the wonderful Ms Salma Hayek."

Nate chuckled himself and said "Aw, someone has a crush. You're so adorable." He then proceeded to reach over and pinch Vin on the cheek.
