everything is limited by factors inconcievable
This is going to get him killed one of these days, he thinks.
She's the enemy--there's no getting around that, given who she works for, whether it's a marriage of convenience or not. Talon and Overwatch have been enemies long before the fall, and that's not exactly going to change because two free agents who happen to affiliate with opposite sides have decided on a temporary truce.
It's for information's sake, of course, even if it is going to get him killed. He's more useful than Talon, sometimes, which is what brings her to him, and vice versa. And she's willing to share some of what she knows in return, though 76 is always reminding himself that this is a very careful line he walks. He has to choose what he tells her very carefully, all the while knowing that she might not be giving him the full story, either. It's all valuable, of course, but--
The truth is that she's the closest he can get to Gabriel. Perhaps he keeps hoping that she'll mention something about him sooner or later.
For now, however, he meets her in a neutral safehouse, one that he doesn't use for anything else. He's on time--she is not, but he's on edge like she's already here. She very well might be.
