I have connections, so he figured he could put a stop to me, so as I dont put a stop to him. So I follwoed you blended in with my surrounding. To try, and throw him off I lost Morgan in paris, but somehow he picked my trail back up. Ive been trying to shake his men here in Hong kong.

So I want you to blend into your surrounding, as you say, and I want you to go pick up their conversation. Then we are going to tail them find out, where they are going.
