It wasn't as if she could fail to see him coming; she jerked back and took a step away.

"Can't I?" She shook her head, almost sadly. "Is that what Niko said when you left him? Ah, Rene, you've made the classic mistake of thinking that I'm actually a nice person. Which is fair enough, since it seems I made the same mistake with regard to you."

And with that, she flicked a button on the transporter control and vanished.

Not that she actually meant to leave him. Let him stew for ... oh, it wouldn't even have to be that long to put the fear of God in him, would it? Ten minutes, perhaps?

In the transporter room back on Quadratus, she set her watch and sat back to wait.
