Xiao shrugged. "I don't know." She put her head on his shoulder with a smile. "Maybe The Light is trying to play matchmaker. The Light might think I'll be a good mommy!" She laughed and took her head off his shoulder. She picked up the folder and held it out for him. "You might want to study these more. It's obviously going to be more complicated than you bringing them into the open and me shooting them or The Light could easily get the rooftop snipers to do it. Maybe The Light needed people who could work in open or closed spaces...and those that others can't get to."

Will rolled his eyes, finally calming down a bit. He sat against the wall, looking through the folder again. Not like there was much else he could do at this point.

"What? You don't think we'd be a perfect couple? Come on, you know ya want me." Her tone was clearly sarcastic. "You wouldn't be so bad if you had a nicer personality. You're in a lot better shape than some people I've seen doing jobs like this. And you can survive on your own...when there isn't a hit out on you."

Will shrugged. "I might have a nicer personality if someone actually explained what was going on. You just tell me I have a hit on me, some guy called The Light wants me, and there's this civilization left after the world ended. Sorry if I'm a bit high strung right now," he said, sarcastic, but in a less annoyed tone than he had been.

"First, The Light is not 'some guy'. However, I can't give specifics. Also, I can't give information I don't have. I don't know why there's a hit on you. I only knew about it because there were people there when I got you." She sighed. "Other than your personality, I can't think of why you'd have a hit on you. You probably just pissed off the wrong person.
"Oh, and this town is the result of merchants stopping here. They ran out of fuel, made shelters out of the cars, then people found them, made the shelters bigger with other things...eventually, they started building mud-brick buildings. Built up from there. You should see the underground sometime. It's much prettier. They've got these pretty glowing mushro-- Oh. Nevermind. Maybe you'll get to see it someday. For now, you're stuck up here until The Light trusts you enough to let you go down there. That's where the water comes from."

Will hesitated, but nodded slowly. "Makes enough sense, I suppose..." he replied slowly. Then he sighed, getting to his feet and walking over to her. "Okay. Since we're going to have to work together, we may asw ell not be off to the wrong foot as we are. So we should at least be on friendly terms, right?" He held out his hand, hoping he'd be able to deal with this anyway. "I'll apologize for my attitude and try to work on that. Okay?"

Xiao looked at his hand, then finally collapsed her stun rod and put it in her pocket, making sure to tap it on the metal of her bed first before putting it in her pocket and shaking Will's hand. "I suppose I'll try to be nicer, too, but me being nice depends on you being nice." She paused for a second to look at the stairs. No children. "At least now you'll be able to have the element of surprise when you try to kill me in my sleep. And no clothes on my bed unless they're inside-only clothes. I have some I sleep in when there are guests, so don't worry about seeing me naked."

Will gave a small nod. "Whatever you say. I don't have a change of clothes anyway. So I'll just deal with these..." he muttered, shrugging as he went back to the wall and sat down again. He opened his folders and began to read again.

Xiao watched him as she went into the closet and took out a white, shear nightgown. She didn't bother trying to hide herself, changing right in the open closet. When she finished, she folded her other clothes and put them on the floor in the closet before closing the door. "Is there anything particularly interesting in there you think I should know?"

"Not really. What's there to know about dead men except how to kill them?" Will asked, continuing to sift through the papers. "Nothing really interesting about them."
