Marius then put the car in drive once he saw that Kiri and the new Cursed Child with them were secured in the car seats.
He didn't say a word for the moment. Sure, he was comfortable around Kiri now but this new face sort of made him act professional. Besides, they were in the middle of a possible job right now so until the danger is passed, he would try to keep it by the books till things settled down.
As he drove, thoughts did cross his mind. Why did Kiri's dad want him to possibly work full time now IF that's what he wished? Sure, Marius was good with not just combat but recon and information gathering but it's also because of that that a certain green-haired terrorist most likely had it out for him now. He was a double-edged sword in a matter of speaking. But did the pro's outweigh the con's? It did mean that he'd had to be ready to lay down his life at a moment's notice for Kiri, sure, but with any job these days, Mr. Reaper hanging over your shoulder wasn't anything new. But this sounded like he was one of those secret service agents that did the same thing with their US president back in those days. Made sense for an overprotective father. At the same time though, he IS on good terms with him AND Kiri so perhaps it was also a trust issue. I mean, would you hire a total stranger, even with lots of money, to protect your family member from anything and everything?
With Gastrea possibly roaming about and even people like Hazama who oppose today's "status quo", chances are people would take that money then run when trouble hit. But that was why Civil Security groups and the IISO were established but even they weren't perfect. Even his own group had turned on him without even so much as a investigation simply because of someone else's say so. Just because he didn't obey that one order......
He just shrug off the thought as he continued driving. His mind wondered on the other new members of Kiri's company. One things for sure. He was going to have to learn to work with these people sooner than later. Marius just hoped that he'd warm up to them but considering his run of luck with working with security groups in general, he should just brace himself for the worst just in case...
