::Diplomat Lounge on Star Base::
:: As the men enjoyed their drinks, one of your young waitresses walked by and placed a note near MacLaren's left elbow. ::
Waitress: Your friend over there asked me to give this to you.
Gavin:: glancing in the direction to which the waitress gestured:: Thank you. I dinna see anyone.
:: She looked across the room and the middle-aged Terran was nowhere to be seen. ::
Waitress: He was right over there, a man about your age. I don't know where he got to.
Gavin: smiling:: Nay your fault, Thank you for the message
NOTE: Meet me in level 86. One hour. Come alone.
:Gavin folded the note and said to his tablemates: Just someone wanting a favor, one of the perks of the job. Everyone thinks I can work miracles for them.
:: The other men laughed and they finished their drinks. Gavin got up too and after they’d gone, he left the lounge and stood before a mirrored wall to check if there was anyone behind him even as he glanced to his right and left. He smoothed his jacked and headed to Llevel 86. It was a large area and he wanted to be early to see who might show up. At the same time he sent an encoded message to his brother on board Odyssey to tell her where he was going...just in case.
He arrived to find what he’d expected, a large utility level with storage containers and little else. He chose to stand in a darkened area not far from the turbo lift where he could see in several directions but had only a wall at his back. He also removed the Sgian Dubh that he wore in an ankle sheath under his trousers. He put it up his sleeve where he could easily drop it down into his hand. The small, traditional single bladed knife was not large but it was razor sharp. His grandfather had taught him how to use it when he was only a boy. He then opened his mind to the thoughts of anyone who may be near.
There were some workers in the next room over who were concentrating on their jobs, and one was thinking of an upcoming date with his girl friend. It was about twenty minutes later when he realized someone was coming down the turbo lift, and that someone was thinking of him.
Gavin watched as the man looked around. He was alone and was looking for a safe place which brought him face to face with Gavin.
Gavin: Alright, here we are. What is it ye wanted to talk about?
Note sender?
Gavin: I am alone, but there are people who ken where I am, so let’t not play games, aye?
Note Sender?
