The former soldier stood before him, staring at the hand in front of him and wondering if he could get out of the way in time. All mental calculations told him that he probably could not, at least not without being winged in the process. He remains very still, knowing that even the slightest waver could cost him deadly.

He didn't blame the man for wanting to kill him. So many people were after him, even if he didn't blow up the Accords in Vienna like they thought he did. It always ends in a fight, doesn't it?

"2016," he said softly. "Bucharest. I... I was hiding. I... I was trying to buy plums." He blinked, but did not move.. "My face was on a newspaper. The Captain found me. Other people were there. Soldiers. Wanted me dead. I..." A small sigh slipped out. "I jumped. One minute I was falling out of a window, onto a roof, then another roof..."

His voice trailed off and he took a breath, letting it out slowly. "Landed in a road. Road brought me here. I... I didn't blow up that building. I don't do that anymore," he murmured.
