Tony was sitting in his office, pretty much doing very little of anything. His mind was preoccupied with the myriad of situations going on at the moment, from the fact that his car had been stolen this weekend to the fact that he was tracking the man who'd done so at the moment.

Then there was a knock on the door, and his head snapped out of his extremis-laden stupor, and he sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Come in."

d'aww sorry Tony

Alastair slipped in and closed the door behind him. "Hey, boss," he said, rather submissively. He didn't know how else to address Stark when face to face and not over the network. "You got a minute? I, uh...I need some help. Not work help."

He stepped further into the office, fishing out the flash drive from his pocket. In the past, Stark had given him vague words of promise that if he ever needed a hand, Alastair could come to him. Well, now it was time to cash in.

Tony flashed him a smile, and nodded. "What can I do for you?" he asked, and then looked at the flash drive. Ah, this was going to be complicated, if he was going to want him to look at it. Thankfully, Tony hadn't made much of a show to hide that he was a technopath, just the other parts of his abilities.

"Something on that you want me to look at?" he asked, holding out his hand.

"It's...kinda personal. And urgent." Alastair stopped in front of the desk and handed over the flash drive. "A friend of mine is missing, and might be in some serious trouble."

He considered how much Tony might already know, from the network, or how much to explain right off the bat. Shorter seemed better, in this instance. "It's Saitou Hajime. I know the police are on it, but I don't think they'll get very far and time is running out. He went after the guy who killed Kyosuke Kiryu a few months ago in that tanker-truck explosion, and he hasn't come back in like...three days. I don't know if it's too late to save him or what, but...I need help to do it." Alastair nodded to the little piece of technology. "All the info on what I decrypted and tracked is on there."
