Logan sat in his cramped office, wearing a loose fitting tie and a salmon dress shirt. His desk was rather small compared to his large frame and it made him look like he was sitting at a kiddy table. He hated this space and he hated having to wear this stupid office attire. It itched like hell and he sweated too much in it. He had a lot of freedom despite the position he was in yet he still had to do a lot of paperwork at this desk and attend important meetings held by his colleagues. It was responsibility that Logan didn't want but he cared a great deal for his country so it was a small price to pay.

His face mask wrapped tightly around his mouth, Logan waited for his secretary to call in any minute to let him know that the person he was waiting for had arrived. Whenever Logan had a meeting scheduled, he would always hide his mouth with a mask made out of a bandage-like material. After all, his sharp teeth could come off as quite intimidating and it made meetings a lot harder than they should have been. Not to mention, the mask also helped him control his eating habits in front of people. Being capable of eating literally anything, Logan's hunger often got the best of him and the sight of him eating random things was usually enough to drive people away. Yes, everyone was better off if he kept his mouth covered during meetings. However this particular meeting seemed like it was going to be a pain in the ass. The old Governor General, Atticus whateverhisnamewas had set up a meeting with Logan and the Gluttonous Man had no idea why. The man in question had been arrested many years ago for money laundering and it was odd for him to take such a sudden interest in Logan's position again. That was supposed to be behind him. However when the meeting had been requested to be arranged, Logan accepted. Perhaps he did it out of curiosity or perhaps he hoped he could find an ally in the man. Whatever the case was, Logan figured the outcome might not be what he wanted.

The sin of gluttony tapped his fingers on his tiny desk impatiently, he was really really hungry. This wasn't something out of the ordinary as Logan was never not hungry but that didn't make things any better. No matter how much Logan consumed he was never satisfied and it drove him slightly mad. The hunger just never ever stopped. Over the years, Logan had learned to ignore it to a certain extent but internally he was always in agony. For his whole life he had been starving yet he ate more on a daily basis than any living thing on the planet. The irony of that pissed him off and it always would. Logan decided that he would attempt to make the meeting go quickly so he could find something to eat. Finding food wouldn't be hard, literally anything would suffice but ending the meeting early would be extremely hard. Meetings like this always tended to last a long amount of time and despite Logan's best efforts he always failed to bring them to a close early on. Oh well, he would just have to sit through this and see whatever it was that this guy wanted.

Initially, Atticus had believed the day to be no different from any other. Any day for him was spent with him sleeping throughout the day, heading out to party at night. He lived his life like that of a trust-fund kid at this point. Often times you would hear stories of the media painting this and that person as party play-boys. However, in the case of Atticus, that had actually been the case. Which normally was not too bad of a thing, however, he was someone that was in the light of the media most times. Most times he welcomes the attention, other times he wanted to smash a camera down someone's throat. He was beginning to learn more and more how this lifestyle work and he loved solving a puzzle.

This lifestyle was that puzzle and his way of getting cash by making appearances at clubs. Case in point as to why he slept for so long during the day. He would have done the same now, but he was alerted by his phone that he had a meeting with the new governor. According to his publicist, it was smart to do so as a picture of him entering the building would have been nice front page cover. Normally he wouldn't care, but that was more money in his pocket.

Raising from his bed, he looks like pure death as he dragged his mass of mostly muscle and booze to his restroom to take a leak. "Ahhhh, going to be one of those days." He muttered before grabbing a towel and hopping into his shower. As he was half-assing his wash, he would hear someone enter the bathroom. Initially, he was left puzzled, but once he looks out he rest easy knowing who it was. "You had me worried for a second, thought you left last night." He spoke up with a smirk. "I should have, ugh... I was way too drunk, how the hell are you functioning? Nevermind, I have to go, had fun last night, see you next time."

Leaving his bathroom would have been a rather voluptuous woman, hair was a bright blonde with some purple streaks or whatever. Atticus couldn't be bothered to remember her name, he simply waved her off and continued about his business. Once done, he moved on to getting dressed as he decided to be slightly more formal than he normally was. A pair of black slacks and a blue button-down work, he loathed suits, but he was able to rock the attire when the time called for him to do as such.

After a short ride, he made his way to the building in question. Eyes would look to his former place of employment. Sounds of photos being taken place could be heard as he looks over his shoulder to give a good enough pose for the cameraman that was hiding in the bush. If this was going to be on the front page, he had to look good, even if he wasn't supposed to know he was having his picture taken.

Entering inside, he already knew the floor and all that jazz. Once he made it, he moved to the receptionist desk as he lowered to place both hands on the desk. "Well are you a sight for sore eyes, April... Long time no sees." A smirk began to curve along the corners of his mouth as the woman known as April would redden with embarrassment. "M-Mr. Nakai! You startled me..."

"My apologies, I forgot you were so quick to get excited and surprised. Also, just call me Atticus. I'm no longer your boss, remember? So, is he ready for me?" He spoke up while continuing to turn up his charm on the flustered young woman. "Sorry, Mr. Na... Atticus... And yes, let me contact him" Ringing Logan to inform him, Atticus would begin to examine the office some more. Once he was given clearance to enter, he gave a wave to April before making his way through the door of the Governor's office.

"Thanks for seeing me, Mr. Madison..." He would pause for a moment to give the room a look around. He had noticed that a lot of the flare and design he gave the room was long gone now. "Love what you've done with the room... Not as flashy as I had it, but it looks nice." He spoke, complimenting the man while flashing his a slight smile. "Have to admit, you were not what I was expecting when I came here. Mind if I ask how is the position working for you?"

The sight of Logan's desk phone lighting up prompting the man to take a deep breath before pushing down on the beige button that allowed him to speak to his Secretary. "Let him in." He said, an unenthusiastic tone creeping into his voice. Logan tapped a number two pencil on the desk absentmindedly as he waited for Atticus to walk through the door into his office. His desire to take off his face mask and munch away at the pencil was almost too overwhelming but he forcibly kept his hunger in check. It probably wouldn't look good if Atticus walked in on him as he was eating his own office supplies.

Atticus would enter the office, looking around at everything and no doubt comparing it's appearance to the one that existed back when he was the Governor General. That was fine, Logan didn't really feel like putting any effort into sprucing up the place, especially considering all the work he already had on his plate. Even if he actually wanted to decorate the place he probably wouldn't even have the time. Gesturing to the chair that sat across from his desk, Logan spoke. "Welcome....Atticus, was it? Take a seat and we can begin." The sin of gluttony held out his large hand for a handshake. "My name is Logan. It's good to meet you." Logan tugged at his face mask as he looked at the man across from him. This hunger was really starting to make him uncomfortable. It was getting harder and harder for him to resist the temptation of taking a nice bite out of his desk but nonetheless he still resisted.

"Have to admit, you were not what I was expecting when I came here. Mind if I ask how is the position working for you?"

That first comment struck a tiny nerve with Logan. "Not what you were expecting, eh? And just what were you expecting?" He stared down the man in front of him, not entirely sure what to think. "As for the position....It's a lot more demanding than I initially thought it would be. I can thank the African elections for that. Things have been pretty rough this last year, let me tell you." Logan put his hands together, resting them on the desk as he leaned slightly back in his chair. That last statement had been rhetorical so he hoped that Atticus wouldn't ask him to elaborate. "Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase here. Why exactly are you here? Judging by your past history I wouldn't think you would want to be anywhere near this place."

Logan wasn't quite sure what else to say to the guy. His intentions for coming here weren't very clear which made the whole situation rather odd. This guy was technically a criminal so there was actually a good chance that he was trying to take advantage of Logan in some way. This thought put Logan on edge even more than he originally was. Whatever this guy was planning, he would be ready for it. There was no way in hell that he would let this guy mess with him.

"Atticus is correct, it is nice to meet you, Logan." Atticus spoke while shaking the governor's hand. Taking his seat, he was still a bit taken aback by the change of scenery when it came to the office. He was used to it having a bit more life... color, so to say. Nonetheless, he had no reason to put the focus on the past, the present was where he had to keep his attention on the conversation at hand.

It appears that his comment about Logan not being what he expected struck a bit of a nerve. Atticus's hands raised in the air for a moment as he offered a smirk to the other gentleman. "Trust, I meant no offense. I expected someone... older. Normally, there is always an old bag of bones sitting in their chair. Either that or a middle age father that is sleeping around on his wife. It's nice to see another young buck at the seat of the governor's desk. You have an interesting look, I must say, is there a reason you keep that mouth of yours covered?" Asking purely out of curiosity, Atticus cross his right leg across his knee as his fingers crossed together.

"I heard about the elections in Africa, sounds like an interesting event. Can't say I cared too much for the old governor. He was an old bastard that hadn't had sex in over a decade, so lord knows he had a ton of pent-up rage. Me taking that seat you're in didn't help as he works for decades to get that position. All I can say now is... Better him than me, right?" His brows would raise at that moment as he shifted a bit in his chair.

Logan would cut to the chase as he was curious about Atticus being here. "Well, you waste no time, don't blame you, but still. As for why I am here, guess I can be honest. Publicity... You see, while the crime I committed was not upstanding or whatever, I still get a fair bit of attention whenever I go about my days in the streets. I get some good publicity by being here, and so could you, my friend. Besides, is it hard to believe that I missed the place? This was my job for a fair bit of time before my sudden fall from grace. I felt you could benefit from some guidance, no?" Curious to see how much he can push the new governor, he gave a tilt of his head for a moment as he waited for a response.

Well, at least Logan got the guy's name right. Things would probably be off to a more awkward start if he had mistaken the man's name. After all, he was supposed to know who he set up meetings with so it'd leave a bad impression. However this guy wasn't somebody that Logan really cared for so leaving a good impression wasn't exactly his top priority. Who cared if a criminal thought he as an asshole?

Logan said nothing as he listened to the man speak, waiting patiently for him to finish. Atticus would explain that he had expected somebody a little older to be in the man's position which was a fair assumption. It wasn't often that somebody so young took up the mantle of such a prestigious position and the fact that it had happened twice in such a short span of time was a rarity to be sure. "Yes...I suppose you would expect somebody older to be in the position. If I'm being honest that's what I was expecting too but then I was chosen and here I am now. I can only imagine you had a similar experience during your time here, yes?" Logan figured his assumption was correct. A young man taking a position that was usually filled by an older person only seemed to garner more unwanted attention than usual. When Logan was initially selected he had received a lot of criticism from the public but lately his performance had shown that he was actually competent at his job. He hadn't really gone above and beyond but he hadn't messed up so far and that was good for something.

"As for the reason why my mouth is covered...." The sin of Gluttony stood up straight in his chair, his hands still clasped firmly together. "Well....my quirk gives me the ability to consume literally anything. Now that's fine and dandy but I'm afraid it also makes me experienced intense hunger, like I haven't eaten anything in a month. No matter how much I eat the hunger never fades. When I'm working I try not to eat anything so this mask helps me control that urge." He sighed, bringing one of his hands up to tug at the mask. "If I'm being honest, it's a real pain in the ass."

Atticus explained to Logan why he had scheduled a meeting with him. Apparently it was in his best interest to create some good publicity for himself after the little fiasco that cost him his position. It wasn't a bad idea but it only meant that Logan now had to deal with that and it was something he definitely didn't want to do. "I'm sorry but I don't really think this is worth my time. Your public image is not a concern of this country and honestly, I'm better off distancing myself from you. And with all due respect, I will never need your guidance so please explain to me why I should sit here and let this meeting continue." This guy had a lot of nerve coming in here like this. Logan was going to make sure Atticus knew that he was not someone that would be walked all over.

"Familiar Experience? Me? Nah, I campaigned for months and finesse my way into that spot for a good while. I learned from some of the best which is how I knew the best way to get the votes needed. Besides, my opponent didn't have a good track record, it was pretty much a steal, for me at the very least." He expressed in a relaxing manner as he shifted himself in the seat some. Placing his right thigh over the arm-rest of the chair, he rested his back against the arm-rest that was opposite of the one before as he switches his gaze to the ceiling.

The conversation would move on to him explaining why he covered his mouth so much. Atticus had a few theories, to begin with, expecting him to not have a mouth at all or a scar that made him look like a mangled zombie. There was also the flat chance he just had bad breath and didn't like brushing his teeth. A bit juvenile, but reasons were reasons, yeah? Leaving the theories behind, he took the time to listen as he swayed his gaze away every so often.

By the time he was done, his bottom lip would curve down a bit as he nodded his head a few times. "Well, that sounds like a bitch. Sounds like someone with a sex addiction, those are types you would want to avoid, man, not good. So, you're at the point where one thing could set you off enough to where you could end up eating up a storm, huh? Dangerous, very dangerous." Always one to keep the conversation in a playful manner, he could not take things seriously most times, way to dull. Logan came off that way, a real stick in the mud, bored the hell out of Atticus, that was for sure.

That was cemented even more with his next few comments as he didn't feel as if he needed any advice and didn't care to keep Atticus company. "Well, shit... A bit harsh, no? I had hoped since you were so young you wouldn't have been such a... Eeh, nevermind. Fine, fine, that's cool. I was actually here to warn you, but I am sure you wouldn't care to know. All I can say is to watch your back." Offering a shrug, he moved to a position so he could raise himself out of his chair.

Reaching out with his hand, he at least wanted to shake his hand before leaving. "It was nice meeting you, Logan."

It looked like Atticus wasn't too happy with the way that Logan was speaking to him. The sin of gluttony didn't really give a shit about that to be honest. Nothing really scared him and as far as he was concerned, this man would be no different. He was right about what he said as well. Atticus' public image was definitely not a concern of Canada's. Still, the idea that Atticus wanted to get a better reputation was kind of nice to hear. Perhaps Logan could use this desire to his advantage and solve some problems for the both of them. Before Logan could open his mouth and propose his idea to Atticus, the man said something awfully concerning. Something that made him tilt his head in confusion.

"I was actually here to warn you, but I am sure you wouldn't care to know. All I can say is to watch your back."

Logan stared at him with a blank expression before speaking slowly. "Warn me?" the man stood up from his chair, tugging at the mask as he did so. "Is that a threat? I don't take kindly to that shit, pal so if you're actually trying to help then I suggest you get talking." If this guy was actually threatening him then Logan didn't know what to think. The nerve of the guy, to walk into his office and attempt to gain something from him and then when that didn't work he would threaten him? Logan was absolutely positive that the threat was empty. Even if the guy could possibly best him in a physical confrontation, it wasn't like security would just let that happen. Actions had consequences and Atticus should have been well aware of that after his little money laundering fiasco.

"I'd like to believe that you don't have any malicious intent towards me so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here. If you explain yourself properly then I might have a little job that you can help me with that will earn you some good publicity." Logan figured that would be enough to catch the man's interest. Doing a job that could earn him some publicity was far more effective than a successful meeting with the Governor General. "Why don't you sit back down and fill me in on what you know...."

To be asked to leave was very much expected by Atticus, at the same time, he didn't expect this to happen so early. He had a hope of being able to gauge the new Governor, he was curious as to what the guy was about, his personality, and all that good stuff. In the end, he was disappointed, Logan had lack Atticus's... approachable personality. There was a stiffness in his personality that Atticus couldn't exactly vibe with, not at all, honestly. At the same time, he was interested in trying to crack pass that demeanor to see if there was someone remotely interesting.

Dropping the hint of having something to warn him about had spark interest in Logan. Atticus would offer a smirk while staring at the door before turning to raise his arms. "I don't send threats, if I wanted to come for you, I would come for you. As for my warning, hmmm..." A gaze would shift to their surroundings. Moving about, he motioned over to one of the file cabinets. Moving his fingers behind the cabinet, he would begin to fill against the back. His brows would flare a bit before he settled.

Removing his hand, he would return with a small black object in his hand. Placing it on Logan's desk, he would offer a smirk before giving the other gentleman a wink. Taking the stapler, he would smash the object. "That, my tight ass friend is a mic. Your office probably has more, but I don't really feel like looking around too much. Remember that tight ass asshole I mentioned that died in Africa? He was apart of a council of people just like him, all wanting your position or to at least be in control of the person in that position. They record just about everything you do, it is how I was found out, honestly. They look to be resorting to this method, guess you're too strong-willed to fall into their trap, huh?"


Taking a seat once again, he gave a quick shrug before leaning his elbow against the armrest. Resting his jaw into his hand, he offered another look at the smashed mic before speaking once more. "Now, what is this job you speak of?" He asked out of curiosity.

The news that Logan's office was bugged, surprised the man greatly. Just how long had this been going on for? Who was it that was listening to him? It was a very concerning thing to think about. There were people out there listening to every conversation Logan ever had in this office. That shit really pissed him off. This council or whatever that Atticus was referring to.... what made them think that this kind of shit was legal? Logan made a mental note to track them down and bring them all to justice once he was finished up with his current tasks. Until his office was guaranteed to be bug free, the man would not be having any more meetings in this office. Sitting back in his chair, Logan spoke slowly."That's some helpful information you got...." he said, pausing as he pondered his next words carefully. "What tipped you off about this organization? I can't imagine they would just tell you they were the ones behind you getting caught." The fact that there was some sort of organization watching his every move only added on to the stress of Logan's job. They didn't seem to be a violent group but a lust for power could always change that. If Logan made sure not to get caught in any scandals then they might try and take drastic measures. Oh well, let them try. He would crush them underneath him just like he had all his other enemies.

"I suppose I should thank you for bringing this information to my attention..." he said, tugging at the corner of his mask. "I'll deal with those fuckers later. I wonder how they'll react to knowing that I'm coming for them." Logan spoke that last statement louder than usual, making sure that whatever bugs were left in the office would pick up his message. They would now know that he was on to them and then once he found them they'd be fucked. Hopefully the idea that Logan was going to track them down was a enough for them to stay off his back while he focused on more important matters. "As for the job I was talking about. A maple syrup reserve in Quebec has been completely taken over by some unknown criminals. All communications with the building have been completely shut off and a small team that we sent in there has yet to report back. We aren't sure if they're dead or just captured but either way we need to send in another squad. To make sure that there's no fuck ups this time I myself will be apart of the new squad that infiltrates the building." Logan spread his hands out in a welcoming gesture. "You wouldn't believe how much money our maple syrup industry makes and with the country the way it is right now...there's a reason why this is high priority at the moment. I'm quite confident in my abilities but as for the other members of the squad, I'm not entirely sure how useful they will be. Having you there would set my mind at ease. Can I count on you? Not only will you be compensated for your time but this will generate a lot of publicity for you." Logan leaned back in his chair as he waited for a response. Atticus could either accept or decline but the sin of gluttony figured it would be the former. If Atticus wanted publicity this was his best opportunity to get it.

Logan had appeared to believe Atticus when it came to all that he informed the gentleman about. It brought a smile to his face, honestly, he hadn't expected for the story to be believed. Perhaps he was just fortunate to have such good skills at lying. Yes, all that he spoke of was just a mere lie. Well, some of it was a lie, there was a council. However, he put an end to them while he was in jail. No, the device he destroyed did not belong to him, it belonged to Atticus himself. He had a fair number of them installed in the office halfway through his tenure here as Governor. They don't work much now since it has been some years, but they worked perfectly for the months that followed after his incarceration. He was able to record enough conversations to just about blackmail the majority of officials here in Canada.

He had planned to use them after his release from prison, but the events in Africa had eliminated the old bastard before he had the fortune to make him suffer. Thankfully, the deceased former governor wasn't the only one on his list that he had an issue with. There were more and he's been able to extort them for months now if only he could do the same here with Logan. He had no such information on the fellow, so all he could do now was act as friendly as he could. If able to get close enough, he could learn more that could help put him in Atticus's pocket for the years to come.

While he did that, he was going to send Logan on a witch hunt for those of the Council, he can do Atticus's work for him while Atticus keeps up his appearance as a playboy. If push came to shove, he had some ears in the building that was able to help him when the time called for such assistance. That April, a couple of kind words, a cute smile, and a some flirting was the perfect way to wrap her around his finger. As long as she keeps quiet, all should be fine and his plan could move. The pace in the beginning stages will be long, but he knew what he was getting at the end of it all.

Tuning back into the conversation, Logan gave detail about a mission he wanted Atticus to attend and assist along with having his back. It was interesting, yes, but Atticus hated having to get his hands dirty. Besides, he would have to fit in his schedule. Gritting his teeth, his bottom lip would frown for a moment as he adjusted in the seat. "Would be lying if I said this wasn't exactly my thing, however, I like you. You seem like good people, and it does help with my image, at the very least. I am willing to come along to assist you in this venture. It has only been a few years, but I remember the numbers when it came to the syrup. It was certainly the most profitable item on our list, and we wouldn't want Canada to lose out on so much cash. So, when was this mission again?"

Logan was happy to hear that Atticus would be accompanying him on the mission. With him involved it would make the job a lot easier although the sin of gluttony wasn't exactly sure just how interested Atticus would be in following his orders. The man didn't strike him as the kind of guy who liked being ordered around, especially if the orders were coming from a man who essentially took their job. Still, Logan hoped that Atticus would be able to swallow his pride in order for to make the assignment go as smoothly as possible. "I'm glad you've agreed. I'm not entirely sure who we're going to be doing the mission with but I hope they're capable. I wouldn't want the two of us having to carry their weight." This meeting had actually turned out to be pretty beneficial for Logan. When Atticus had arrived Logan had just assumed this would be a complete waste of time but it was good to know that he had actually gotten something out of this. The best part about it was that he didn't even have to give anything to Atticus in return. By agreeing to accompany him on the mission, Atticus would already be receiving everything he had wanted.

"We will be entering the facility in a week. I'll make sure that my assistant sends you all the important details." With that said, Logan wasn't quite sure what else there was to talk about. He had a lot of stuff that he needed to do and it was probably likely that Atticus was also pretty busy. "Is there anything else you wan't to tell me? Perhaps more information about that little organization you mentioned earlier?" Logan of course, was unaware that that Atticus had been lying to him but there wasn't any way he could really know that. He normally would have been very suspicous of Atticus but the man's story had been so convincing that he didn't think anything of it. Still, Logan was going to do a bunch of research into this organization and whatever he found would surely help him get closer to the truth behind them.

The thought of doing a mission was exciting, somewhat. Atticus hasn't really done many missions before, he wasn't the hands-on type when it came to those type of things. Mind you, he still trained himself and his body, he had to defend himself, no? He just didn't put his life in a huge enough risk when he had others jumping at the chance to be heroes. Perhaps that is what separates him and Logan the most? It would, at the very least, explained why the man wasn't the most exciting person to be around. Atticus was always a fun time, even as Governor, he kept his office like a close-knit family. His way of keeping everyone happy was by being nice to everyone that he could sink his teeth into, at the very least. There were many ways of gaining respect, that was his way when it came to those he surrounded himself around.

He was in a weird phase right now. A part of him wanted to rebuild his image, while another part was having fun with being a well-known playboy. It was weird, really, but he spent some years in jail and he hated every second of it. He was still young, he spent so many of his late teens and early twenties working on his image so that he could be elected as Governor. He was now free to be himself, why give that up? Money was his main concern right now and doing missions like this or being around the governor offered much of that. Just as much as being a playboy that parties all night.

"Hmm, let's hope. The ones recruiting should have a good enough head on their shoulders to know what they need for the mission, correct?" He asked out of curiosity as this was not going to be their first time sending in a group of people, it would be stupid to not learn from your mistakes, but it is obvious these people weren't the brightest bulb of the bunch. Nonetheless, he was confident in his own skills at the very least, more than he could say for anyone else, at the very least. Logan look strong, he probably spent hours training, he looks like the type.

"I look forward to it all... As for more information to give you. Honestly, the main one apart of it all died in Africa. Other people apart of it would more than likely be the ones that were close acquaintances of his. So, if I can remember some names... ugh, there was a Joseph Crawlins. He and the deceased bastard were thick as thieves if I remember. They shared the same views and opinion, like sheep, you know? There was an Allison Walkins, she was the same to those two, but a lot more cutthroat and ruthless. Those two would be the ones I would say are apart of the organization. I would guess, at the very least." He spoke up as he had to give names for Logan to believe him.

It helped that those two were actually people Atticus despised and everything he said about them being close to the past governor killed was completely true. Sending Logan after they meant he could get his revenge in some form or way, though he had some things in mind. He already was setting up one of them to where he could blackmail them for as much money as possible. He had a lot of people that deserved his vengeance and he was going to give it out any way possible. Using Logan as a pawn maybe wasn't nice, and it would make another enemy, but he didn't exactly care.

"Sorry about dropping that on you, though. I feel, unlike me, you're clean so I doubt they would find anything either way. However, I still felt it was right to give you a heads up, you know?"

It was good that Atticus seemed so cooperative but his past history was still something that made Logan un-trusting of him. He would be a wild card on this mission but Logan would keep an eye on him. The sin of gluttony hoped that the other two people who were coming along with them would be cooperative otherwise everybody was going to have a bad time. Still, Logan was determined to keep everybody in line and he didn't really care if that made him come off as an asshole. "I'm not actually sure if the other members on this mission are actually qualified. The guy who handles that kind of thing tends to mess up a lot. I'd like to relieve him of his job but I've been fairly busy." He sighed as he remembered the members of the last team that had gone into the facility. If it had been Logan who took care of primary recruitment then he would have actually put effort into his job. Unfortunately the guy tended to make a lot of mistakes. "We can only hope that the guy doesn't fuck up." It was probably wishful thinking but one could always be optimistic.

Atticus would then list off the names of the organization that was apparently monitoring his every move. Some of them sounded familiar but Logan wasn't entirely sure just where he had heard them. He could only assume that they were involved in politics like him if they were interested in gaining his position. The position of Governor General used to carry more symbolical authority than anything but after the events in Africa, Logan's role had more or less made him the de facto leader of his country. It was the primary reason why they hadn't elected a new Prime Minister yet. What was the point if Logan was already doing everything that the old one used to do? Of course, with more authority came more responsibility and work which Logan was fine with. It may have been a pain in his ass but he just wanted what was best for his country and he would do whatever it took to ensure that Canada prospered.

"Sorry about dropping that on you, though. I feel, unlike me, you're clean so I doubt they would find anything either way. However, I still felt it was right to give you a heads up, you know?"

"Of course I'm clean. Why would I have any reason to commit a crime?" He snorted, tugging on his mask again. This hunger sure was a pain in his ass. There had been so many times where he had been tempted to rip the stupid thing off and just munch away on his desk. When you could eat anything, everything became appetizing and although it was pretty cool that he could do that kind of thing; it tended to unsettle people. Logan normally wouldn't care about how people thought of him but he had a reputation to uphold so it would be bad if he just acted out without a care for anyone. When it came to relationships with other countries his image was reflected in Canada's image so that meant he really had to act on his best behavior.

"I'm glad you told me. I'm not too concerned with them though. Whoever's behind this monitoring of my office, I will find them. I always do."

Hearing about the guy in charge of recruiting not being that good at his job did not make him more enthusiastic to take part in the mission. At the very least, he felt as if he would be in for some bullshit if the other two and Logan caused them all to lose their heads or some shit. He already agreed to take part in this for the time being, but later on, he would have to actually contemplate doing the mission. He could always call in sick the day of or before. May not have been the nicest thing to do, but he didn't need to be risking his life working with incompetent people. Crossing his right leg over his knee, he locked his fingers for a moment while staring off into the distance for a moment.

There was a lot of thinking needed to be done on his part, he had to weigh his options. Thankfully, that can wait for later as he was still in the middle of a meeting. "We will see what happens. Should be an event nonetheless. I will try to remember to not get wasted the night before. Kind of hard, those tend to be the best nights..." Realizing what he said, he offered a bit of a cheeky smirk for a moment before giving a slight shrug. He kept forgetting he was in a meeting with the current governor. Given how much of a tight as she was, there was a strong chance his more revealing comments could get under the man's skin.

Apologizing for everything, he tried to give Logan some relief in knowing he more than likely had nothing that could be used against him. To which he would respond with a snappy comeback. It surprised Atticus for a moment, but he would manage to laugh it off. "Man, you're just a ball of anger and stress, huh? Calm down, man, I wasn't saying you had a reason. Man, I would suggest you smoke weed, but giving your hunger, that would just make it worse. You need to relax, though. If you're too much of a tight ass, the people will notice it rather easily. I always tried to appeal to them, come off as that kind of person you can approach during my tenure as Governor and Politician. Made it easy to settle certain issues and put together some big deals."

Atticus would slightly reminisce at that point, fully expecting Logan to take it the wrong way. Perhaps it may have come off as him rubbing something in his face, but that honestly wasn't the case. Though he may have given away that he was attempting to befriend Logan like he did everyone else back during his time as Governor. That would raise flags if he caught on to that, so Atticus hoped he didn't. Though, even if he didn't, Atticus doubted he would be able to even crack pass that strong demeanor that Logan had.

"Hey man, I'm just here to help. If you need anything, shoot me a call. Perhaps I can help you one of these days loosen up. Don't worry, I'm not saying I would invite you out to the clubs or anything, it would just be the two of us, like right now. Buddy type shit, right? Anyways, here is my card, has my number and what not." He sat the card on Logan's desk while raising out of his seat. "Anyways, need to know anything else before I skedaddle?"

Logan wasn't actually a ball of stress and anger he was more like a ball of stress and irritability. It was a very minor difference but there was a certain distinction that could be made between the two. The governor general came off as a tight ass but it was more or less a front he used when he was working. When he wasn't in the office, Logan was actually a pretty laid back guy although nowhere near as laid back as Atticus seemed to be. Still, Logan acted very conservatively because he didn't know what to think of people when he first met them. His reserved demeanor only remained until he knew enough about the person at which point he would act how he normally would. "I know I come across as a tight ass but I'm not as bad as you might think. I more or less force myself to act like this until I actually know what kind of person I'm dealing with. I've had a lot of people try and strong arm me into doing things for them and I'll be damned if I let them get their way." He shrugged his shoulders like he wasn't entirely sure if his 'acting' was necessary or not but at the end of the day it was just his way of doing things.

Atticus suggested that he smoke some weed, prompting Logan to laugh loudly in response. Weed would not be a fun time for him what with the munchies and all. "Hahaha. I can only imagine how badly that would affect me. I'd probably go mad from the hunger. It's already hard enough to deal with on it's own." Logan was smiling under his mask but there was really no way of telling that. Still, his body language would make it apparent that he was amused. Atticus was certainly a shady character but it was kind of funny how casual he was about everything. Nothing really seemed to phase the guy which was pretty funny. It added a funny undertone to the atmosphere that made Logan wonder how anybody could take the guy seriously when he was governor general. Oh well, everybody did their job differently and there wasn't really any point in wondering how certain things got done as that usually just encouraged negative thoughts.

The sin of gluttony cocked his head at a slight angle upon hearing Atticus invite him to hang out sometime. There was no way that this guy was actually interested in being his friend, right? Sure the man had helped him out by warning him about that stupid organization but that gesture didn't warrant any reason for Logan to be all buddy buddy with the guy. The two of them were very different people who liked very different things. Logan used to go to a lot of clubs like Atticus but now he only attended classy functions. He actually preferred to go to the clubs but the tabloids would have a field day if he did that. Logan didn't know enough about Atticus to want to hang out with him and judging by the man's criminal record, Logan's image was better off if he distanced himself modestly from him. Still, Logan took the card that Atticus passed him as a show of politeness. He didn't really have any intention of calling him up to hang out but who knows, maybe he would get bored enough one day and curiosity got the best of him. Only time could tell if that would actually happen but whether or not it actually did was not really of any concern to Logan.

"I'll take your offer into consideration. Aside from that I don't think there's anything else for us to discuss. I actually have to attend another meeting in five minutes so it's probably for the best if we end it here. It was nice meeting with you." Logan would reach his hand out for a handshake before getting up from his seat and walking out of the office. He didn't know if Atticus would do anything while in his office but he would be able to tell if the man did something fishy thanks to the security cameras that were installed within the room.
