As the bloody scene of the man's head exploding unfolded in front of Ethan, he suddenly froze in what could only be explained as a trance. The red mist that erupted from the man's missing head and the stump that remained filled Ethan with a sickening horror that left him feeling as if he was in some kind of nightmare, as if what was happening around him was some surreal dream.
The sniper then began to escalate, stating that he was going to begin killing the hostages, all in an attempt to satisfy his bloodlust. All this killing and mindless violence, this insane form of vengeance over a perceived slight against this man, a man that used the death of his daughter to justify, to rationalize his insane logic, this Corrupt... was beyond redemption! Ethan didn't know -yet- how he was going to accomplish it, but enough was enough, he was going to kill that man.
As the seconds ticked by, Ethan remained silent and forgot all about relaying information to the woman on the phone. Instead, a look of unadulterated cold rage creeped across Ethan's face, replacing his relatively neutral demeanor.
Just then, Ethan heard the rustling of the tablecloth as an unidentified person began to crawl under the table. As if driven purely by instinct, Ethan turned to face the unknown person with an icy glare and a punch at the ready in case the person was hostile.

Austin chuckled.
"You're boring." His corruption level spiked dramatically for a second.
"NEAT. I mean neat." He said. His corruption level boiled back down. "My apologies. It's nothing personal I promise. It's just... I have this thing... nevermind."

The quick action of both the unconscious answer and the correction was noticed by the blonde "I know you are a corrupt, what you just did was a give away" she spoke still calm while seeing her book "And before you ask how I can see that without one of those scanners, I got the common sense to see human reactions, so please don´t do anything stupid" it was a warning to Austin if he were to do something drastic in the neutral zone.
"It is odd for someone to ask about morality and have a siding to one of the factions, then holding your emotions to evade a possible confrontation, both factions have people like that, why hide your true colors then? why be a mask of who you really are?" Sara asked looking at Austin making direct eye contact, it could be intimidating due to the seriousness of her voice, but then again, she was being sincere.

Austin grinned.
"Whatever do you mean?"
He looked back at her. He had a glare.
"So, you're going against the Singing Mistress of Broadway, huh? Listen, this is a neutral zone. I can't and won't dare do anything. Not as long as I'm currently in command."
He faced her. "I was really hoping not to talk with you with so much disrespect, but I'm just... excited, is all. You're a great person. Much more deserving to lead the Deserts more than stickler currently in charge. But you can't face the Mistress. She's in her prime. Been for two years and going to be for an indeterminable amount of time. It would be against my word to tell why, but all I'm saying is to be weary."
He held his books behind his back and began swaying back and forth.
"Ya know, you're pretty cute. Not many people see this side of me and survive. Probably because I only get this way when I'm ticked or excited. It's too bad, though, really. Now you'll never see that sweet other one because you rile me up! I'd tell you my story but that'd be booooring. But hey, Ya know what, you made my day. Though I am offended you would say I don't show my true colors."

Despite the fact that Austin revealed big information, Sara showed a faint smile "I like what I see now, you are honest and that is good" she answered truthfully "Speaking of the bigger guys of the DCERT might be true, thus why I´m not using their mark or avoid talking to you just because of having different sides. I hope though that the way I face such person isn´t in hostility because everyone deserves a second chance"
"There is the path of accepting things, a balance between the two sides because in the end we are like the yin/yang orb, there is always a piece of black withing the white while there is a piece of white within the black, we must coexist in balance to have the life that the people deserve as humans, yet we got those who wish for power, they are in both sides and have different ideas, but in the end, it will end with bloodshed and losing the balance that keeps us alive.

"Oh don't hit me please." The one who lifted the tablecloth to check under the table politely asked Ethan, noticing his fist clenched and poised to strike. It was Alex, safely returning to the couple accompanied by a rough-looking but otherwise non-hostile, silver-haired man behind her.

Austin had a smile on his face.
"Poetic, spoken like a true artist. I don't understand a damn thing you said."
He looked at his books.
"... Let's see... Hatchet, Amped -- not sure what that one is -- and- Wait, is this the Cat in the- again? I swear... Anyways, what time is it? I really don't want to be late."
((It's 8))

The faint smile on the blonde´s face didn´t change as she made a small explanation "What I mean is that we can all work together instead of fighting for the bigheads on both sides, let´s hope that the next time we meet though, isn´t with cross-hairs but with books at hand" she said and looked at her watch "It is close to eight PM, I also got things to do"
The specialist got up from the chair and looked at Austin "See you then, maybe we can have another chat here or in another neutral zone". And with that, Sara walked to both leave her book and then to the exit

Ethan was ready to strike the person entering the underside of the table with all of his might, but when he was greeted by Alex's familiar face, Ethan slowly lowered his fist and let out a faint breath as he tried to wind down. He was still angry about what was happening with the sniper, and it was clear from the look in his eyes that he was on the verge of action against the Corrupt in the building.
"Sorry.", Ethan said as his fist rested itself against the floor.
As Ethan let out another faint breath, he noticed the silver-haired man behind her, but since he did not appear to be hostile, Ethan simply asked who the man was.
"Who's he?", Ethan asked Alex.

Austin waved goodbye.
"I hope you like the performance tonight! Any be careful! She's more dangerous than she seems!"
Austin put his hand down.
"... I really hope to f*cking sanity that Nitro gets the package in. That Sam character is no fool."
He went to check out the books. He laid down the books and got a weird look from the librarian.
"There a problem, buddy?" Austin said menacingly.
The librarian shook his head calmly. He checked out the books.
"..."
He kicked an aluminum support beam in out of anger.
"WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?! I'LL KILL HIM ONCE HE GOES-... no, no... I'll spare him today. But only because I'm in such a good mood."
