he snorted audibly "we? i am perfectly content to sit still and do nothing, it is you who needs a distraction. if you would like i can break it again"

"I said we because knowing you, I'll drive you crazy while trying not to be bored." Samuel said it with faux happiness the kind that makes people want to gag. "And don't break it again, unless you want to fix it."

he said nothing and dumped the radio back into the technician's lap. he was out of ideas then

Samuel carefully caught the radio and flipantly commented on the other's silence. "Cat got you tounge?"

without thinking he opened his mouth "hardly a cat" quickly he clamped his mouth shut and turned away mentally berating himself

Samuel smirked, he now had something to do. "What's got your tounge then?" He asked witht he false pretence of innocence.

he kept silent and instead took the radio from the other. he wrapped his hands around it and squeesed until it made a nasty cracking sound. he tossed it back to the man and stood "i don't think you've fixed it after-all"

Samuel raised an eyebrow, highly amused. "I fixed it, you broke it." He said softly. "Maybe anger management is in order? I can be your punching bag."

the man's words made him angry but also it sent a twinge of something else through his stomach. he blushed lightly, glad the other could not see his face at this angle "you hate my sort remember? don't say stupid things you don't mean"

Samuel placed the broken radio on the ground then walked up behind Leslie. "You haven't killed Beta yet, so I don't hate you yet." He said it honestly, it was the truth. Beta Tower was his baby, the only one of the towers he had been allowed to place living code in, and the only one still operating. "And who says I don't mean it?" He was right behind Leslie now and had placed a hand on the other man's shoulder.

he needed to escape this corner he had drawn himself into "but i will, the moment my people say kill it i will. no hesitation no remorse"

Samuel raised an eyebrow and removed his hand. "Untill that day, I won't hate you. And even after that day, I may not hate you. Because for all yoou know that virus could fail." And he finds himself hoping that the virus will fail or that another operative would release it just so that he won't have to hate Leslie.

he felt the hand leave him but the other made no effort to move away "it won't fail. your code will die, it can do that much easily enough"

Samuel grinned and though O yea of little faith. "You can't say that until it has been tried." He was not going to lose this argument. "As I said, until the deed is done, I won't hate you."

he could feel the conversation move back to safer grounds " she has never failed and i doubt this time will be any different"

Samuel was grinning again, this was merely a pride battle now. "And my code has never been comprimized before, so we'll see then who has the superior knowledge.
