[The latter half of that statement makes his eyebrows furrow a little- the part about the family actually assisting him, anyway. Are they concerned he'll talk? Or was the statement meant in the spirit of which it was said? ...He didn't know.
He's a mook. He runs packages from place to place. Drops off drop-offs, collects collections. On occasion, he disposes of vehicles. All as out of the view of the cities' extensive surveillance, and as timely, as reliably, as he can manage. He didn't ask questions- nor did he show aversion to any of it. He just simply did it- because what the Malakye and Agataela families do- it's not his business. He's entry-level. If even that.
Which makes it slightly strange they're showing him loyalty- at least by comparison to the shadier slum crimelords from his world. He's replaceable. But instead of being judged as a risk and dealt with, he's given assurances?
Even if they're understaffed, and that's somehow the cause for this, he's here for a year. Allegedly. So why would he matter?
His scepticism is interrupted as V closes the distance between them and offers his hand. He's forced to lift his head up to view his blue eyes with his own mako ones as he does- since V's height is significantly greater than his own. And he feels the neat, folded bundle of paper press into his palm. He lowers his eyes, but says nothing on it- keeping his hand closed to not betray what he's been given as he withdraws.]

...Yeah, I will. If I see anything. Can I leave?
