Drift felt a little offended and folded his arms across his chest, staring a little coldly at Cyberstorm. He felt his muscle cables twitch in both anxiety and annoyance. Without thinking, he slammed a hand down on the desk, shaking a cube that had been placed next to his hand earlier and causing mechs and femmes to stare at him in shock and surprise. Drift didn't care about the attention he was drawing towards himself and Storm Blue nor did he care about how secret his mission was. If he didn't find the mech soon, then everyone in this entire city would be dead before they even knew it. "Primus, damnit," he hissed, "that's not good enough! I didn't give you his name because of how terrible he was and still is today. Do you have any idea how serious this mission is? I will give you the name of him and you better tell me his location or so help me, I will do more than just yell. Normally I wouldn't hesitate to kill someone, but I'm a changed mech and I must right what I did wrong in the past by getting rid of the mech I just described to you." He pulled back from the table, continuing to ignore the stares he was receiving from everyone. What did Drift care? He had a job to do and this was the only way for him to make up for the crimes he had committed in the past. If he completed this job then all the Autobots he had killed would be erased from his data. "The mech I'm looking for was once my former leader," he said quietly. "His name is Turmoil."

Now Storm recongnized that mech. She knew where he was too, but Turmoil was no push over either. Her old troop had attempted to raid his ship for energon once and the result had turned them from a full platoon in a tiny emplacement in just cycles.
"I...I know where he is..." She whimpered softly.

Prima finished her shake just as Drift had his little outburst. She looked over to Storm and couldn't hide a look of concern for the femme that had become her "Parent" figure. Her look then went to Drift, the apparent cause of Storm's discomfort, and she gave a scowl and a glare at the cloaked Mech. She was ready to slide off the counter and go belt him one for making Storm upset.

Drift sighed and rubbed his temples with his fingers. He didn't mean to snap at them, but with the way things were going he couldn't afford to bide his time anymore. If he continued to wait any longer, then it would only be a matter of time before Turmoil would make his move long before anyone would even notice. "I apologise for my behaviour," he said softly, "but Turmoil is a mech who will not rest until I'm as good as dead. He will use anyone that is close to me or he will even kill the innocent just to draw me out. That is why I took it upon myself to find him before he hurts anyone else." He lifted his head to gaze into Storm Blue's optics, his facial expression was unreadable for a split moment. It was during that moment his optics softened before hardening up again just to hide his thoughts and feelings about what he had been thinking. Emotions were not meant to be shown during serious encounters and this was one of those times. "The Elite Guard aren't doing anything about him because they don't have enough evidence to prove that he was the one who committed all those crimes," he went on. "If I don't find him soon, then you, this place, and Cybertron will all be in danger. It is vital that I find ASAP. Please tell me where you can find him without his knowledge so that I can end his life once and for all."

"He's probably on the outskirts of Koan or by the old docks." She said quietly. "That ship is his very hard to hide so let that lead you to him. If he's not in either location then Cyberstorm can surely track him down."

Blitzwing's attention had peaked when they mentioned Turmoil, but he was too drunk to really pay much attention.

Drift shook his head at Cyberstorm. "Thank you for your assistance, but I am not going there to get his attention," he said. "This is a search and destroy mission, not a shoot and run." His optics refocused back on Storm Blue as she spoke and he was aware that her tone had dropped tremendously after he had snapped at her. Being as gentle as he could, he lifted a hand and used a finger to stroke her cheek to provide her some reassurance. "That's all that I needed to know," he said kindly, his blue optics warm. "If I know Turmoil, he will most likely be in the outskirts of Kaon just to hide himself from everyone's knowledge, as well as to escape notice from the Elite Guard." He then shook his head. "No, no one can track down Turmoil, not even Cyberstorm's skills could track him so easily." Drift then removed his hand from Storm Blue's cheek and looked over his shoulder to see his massive sword sticking out from in between his shoulders. It was his most prized weapon, and it was not because it was so large and powerful, but because it had saved his life when he had once escaped from Turmoil after his defection to the Autobots. The white mech then glanced back at Storm Blue and Cyberstorm. "Thank you for your assistance," he said as he took a step back and bowed honourably. "But now that I know of his location, I must be on my way. If you would like to come with me, then you may do as you wish. However, since this is Autobot business, then I advise you to not to because this is mostly my fight and no one else's. But if you do wish to come, then I kindly recommend that you stay out of my way." When he regained his posture, Drift then placed his cloak's hood back onto his head, once again hiding his facial features and optics. With a final bow, he then turned to leave, but not before he picked up his last cube and skulled it down without much thought and placed his payment on the bar as he walked past, indicating that he was leaving. Just as he walked out the door, Drift turned back to look at Storm Blue, his kind smile forming on his lips once again. "If I'm lucky enough to live to see the next sunrise, Storm, then perhaps we could hang out when you have the time to do so. Don't think of it as a... date... think of it as a get-together in order to show my appreciation for helping me out." He then winked in a friendly manner just to prove his point. "So what do you say?"

Storm's mood instantly went from depressed to shocked in a matter of seconds from the sudden kindness and at his touch, but that quickly melted away into a truely sincere smile as she gathered up his money and quickly handed it back to him. "I'd like that very much, and please. The drinks are on me. Just...be careful out there." Her tone and features softened. "Turmoil was the one reposible for killing almost my entire unit when I still a Decepticon..." She shook her head. "Good luck and let Primus be with you." She bowed back and stepped away, allowing him to leave.

Prima Just upturned her nose and looked awayfrom the two, but she continued to listen. She didn't know why she felt so angry at the Mech. She wasn't an Autobot nor, a Decepticon, but somehow the situation just made her feel... jealous? Maybe. Of course it only made her mood more sour to hear Storm use the name of her brother to guide his way. She could take this Turmoil, what was a lowly Decepticon compared to her? Compared to Unicron? Perhaps she would humor this Autobot and dispatch this Turmoil herself? The sparkling tapped her chin in thought.

Drift smiled but was taken aback when Storm returned his money. He blinked his blue optics in surprise and looked into her own for a split second before nodding his head. "Thanks," he said and lowered his gaze a bit. "And you be careful too. I hear there are strange things happening, but I cannot say how or why until I get the proof on it." The white mech felt another smile tug at the corner of his lips as he shook his head once more. He was amused by her concern and her knowledge of Turmoil. However, she didn't know him as well as he did and he remembered that time when he had been part of the squad that had killed her Decepticon unit. "And I hated every single minute of that day," he said softly. "Killing was something I didn't want to do, but I had no other choice until my optics had been opened too late to see the truth. I'm going to make up for my crimes by doing what I think is right. I cannot change the past, but maybe I can change the future." He bowed once again to Storm Blue to show his respect to her. "And may Primus watch and guide you as well, Storm," he said as he bowed his head and pulled the hood over his face again to hide his complete facial features. "I also hope your future will be just as fortunate as mine." Without another word, Drift turned and walked out, the doors closing behind him with a gentle swish. Even as he pulled away from the building, he couldn't help but glance over his shoulder once more to see if anything happened. But when nothing did as he had hoped, the ghostlike mech braced himself and leapt onto the buildings like a graceful ninja and then vanishing out of sight.
