"Sorry," Sergei replied quickly. It didn't seem like he could get anything right this time, but he attributed it to the fact that all of this news was leaving him more than a little disoriented. He was just glad he hadn't instinctively added "sir" onto the apology. It was something that had happened an embarrassing amount of times before.

...The greenhouse exploded.

He really had missed a lot. He couldn't even imagine how the German major had handled that. Though that was the least of his worries when Ocelot started to get into the gritty details of the murder, enough to make his lip curl distastefully.

"Shit," he muttered, glancing away from the major for a moment. Sergei usually reserved his swearing for these sorts of situations. "So are the explosion and the murder connected, or do they not know yet?" It seemed strange that first the greenhouse would get blown up, and then a murder would take place there. That couldn't just be a coincidence, right?

Sergei knew it wasn't his job to ask these questions. That was what the investigators were for. Still, he couldn't help being curious - this was something that hit home, since that was what Groznyj Grad was to him. He didn't like the thought of killings going on within the ranks. Then again, it had been a man from the outside who had been targeted.

He still didn't like it.
