The man and Blaze ignored Raven. "We didn't mean to bump into you," Blaze told him. "We're looking for something else."

"... I trust-" the man started, but Blaze cut him off.

"-Yue isn't here. She's safe. For now."

There was a long pause. Then he asked, "Why should I believe you?"

Blaze took out the bag of footage with Long on it and kicked it over to him. "Raven was wired last night. This is all the footage and all the copies that we have of you." The man was silent for a very long time. "Check it if you want."

Instead, the man pulled out a small device that quickly scanned the area for bugs and other unsavory technical devices before nudging the bag with his foot. "... I'll listen," he replied. Blaze visibly relaxed a little. "And one token of trust for a token of good will," he continued before tossing the vial to Blaze, who caught it carefully. "... I didn't realize you knew me so well," Long said, voice changing as he took off the mask.

Raven stared blankly at Long, looking like he might faint.
