But clearly, that wasn’t what she heard.
The small smile faded and her both eyebrows simply popped up at Nathan’s question. “ “What is going on?”” Angelina repeated, looking at Nathan. Was he actually being serious? Maybe that was one of his jokes that she couldn’t find anything funny about. “ I was going to ask you that. Since you know, that was supposed to be your job.. knowing what is going on..”
An insane woman and a thief inside the ministry.
Well, he just worked for the Law Enforcement .. which was just the department that shouldn’t let things like that happen.
Behind Nathan’s shoulder she noticed a man from the law enforcement department walking towards Reagan and talking with her. She moved her eyes back to Nathan and then , more calmly, asked. “Are they going to interrogate her?”
What did she know about how security should proceed when something like that happened anyways..
Then a woman that Angelina had met before approached them, she seemed pretty worried.
What was her name.. Ah! Egypt.. yes.
But before anyone could say anything the woman ran towards the exit, and left the room.
She left as quickly as she showed up.
Nathan scratched the back of his head as Angelina gave him a look that was enough to make his blood freeze. He had been expecting that reaction... perhaps he should have just gone with the flow and pretended he knew exactly what was going on.
“I..er.. I nipped out to go to the loo.” He explained.
Brilliant Nate. Now she thinks your even more of a dimwit if that's possible.
“Besides, I wasn't on duty... the Aurors seemed to have everything in hand.” As usual. He nodded towards the seemingly now Aurorless stage.
His eyes followed Angelina's to Reagan.
“M-me? I-interrogate her?” He asked now looking more confused than ever.
“Sh.. she caused all this?” Oh Merlin's bottom! That was the last time Nathan left something like this to go to the toilet... even if he was desperate to the point of explosion he had well and truly learned his lesson.

He heard a voice addressing him from behind and turned to spot WhatsHisName, that man he'd also met at the RIP party. Rico resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the man, whom he was certain worked with Law Enforcement of some kind.
"Well there's been a bit of an International Crisis, see, and there's the Heads of a dozen different Ministries probably about to be attacked," Rico answered him rather sarcastically. "It's a wonder I know more than you do," he added, raising a dark eyebrow at the man. Only Merlin knew what he had been up to during the ceremony.
Nathan looked at the man properly for the first time and recognised him from that party they had had in some department or another for a poor woman who had fallen down some stairs.
“Right.” He replied. Wait a sec...
attacked!? He opened his mouth to ask if it was Reagan who was going to be doing the attacking but thought better of it, preferring not to risk looking even dimmer than he already looked.
“I'm sure the Aurors will not let that happen.” He said in what he hoped was a reassuring tone.

They always looked down their noses at her security team. She kissed him quickly on the lips. "Help get everyone up stairs and keep them calm, please." She asked him before she darted up to level 8 to close up the fireplaces and the visitor entrances.
His eyes darted back towards the stage as Egypt yelled his name. He was relieved when she came over and thought she was going to rescue him from this rather awkward situation.
But no, he was still clueless as to what was going on. He merely nodded at her instructions, not having time to respond properly before she darted out of the room. For such a small woman, she was quick on her feet when she wanted to be. He looked back at Angelina and Rico.
“You heard the woman.” he said as he put on his professional face and voice.
“If you could just make your way quietly and calmly back to your department.” He gave Angelina and apologetic look and gestured towards the door.
