Tao was suddenly aware they were raising their voices and in an effort to stop them from full out yelling he lowered his arms and stepped farther into the shadows. "I said nothing about your competence." He hissed. "You are protecting your people, the problem was one too big for either of us to deal with on our own, we have now shared information and have enough to do something. To stop this. The best thing you can do for your people now is to keep them out of sight." He heard the car door, heard an engine and knew it wasn't his.
"Your right to protect what is yours does not supersede mine." He replied softly. "Now go, before you are seen."
