"When does it ever," Steve says, letting something of a bare curve touch his mouth even if it couldn't be called a smile.
The kind of thing here, and then gone, like a flash of light on water or metal. Relief and triumph and gratitude here and then, gone. Because it means that they have a direction. Another person to slide into Danny's car, or follow them. But a possible solid direction, too. Someone who might know where the Snakeheads that brought in the kid and Hesse could be found. They've got Chin, and Chin's got the next step up the ladder.
Besides it's not like every agency out there wouldn't slap down a handful to find Hesse.
If that was all it took. Which it won't be. But it's one more step in the right direction of finding the bastard and bringing him in. Here, on American soil, even though they've played chase around the entire world for five years and an endless score of horrors better left between the untouched sides of another folder somewhere. Costs money couldn't even touch.
"Let's go, then." Steve said, barely looking away from Chin's face, while the man still seemed to be testing if this was real.
"I need to tell them I'll need the rest of the day." Certain, even in that way that makes his uncertainty clear. He's not rocking the boat on what he has for the thing he's not positive is even possible, even with Steve standing there, waiting, unmoving, mind made up and not about to change for anything. "I'll meet you two out front."
