One last thing before I shuffle off the planet
Things were finally starting to come into motion.
It felt a little like Christmas or Graduation Day or something like that except this time the nervous flutterings in the pit of his stomach wasn't excited butterflies but rather a very supressed sense of fear. After all this time they were actually going in to finish the job and although they had some way left to go before they were ready to take on Jethro it was still a matter of days and not months. Just going into the city was risky and they couldn't stay too long or someone might spot them, blow their cover... get Festival in trouble he didn't deserve.
Festival. What had begun as a chance encounter was quickly turning into a reliable source, someone Aidan found himself turning to for help more and more long after he stopped working for him and that was why it had felt so natural to call on him for all this. Of course he'd keep the bar owner out of the actual plan but he'd already insinuated that the whole mess that had pulled him off-planet to begin with wasn't over and asking him for a ride and a place to lay low came easy. He trusted the man to not ask any questions and in return Aidan would do everything in his power to keep him safe and out of harms way. It was the least he could do.
In any case... here they were, waiting in the snow for the two halves of Aidan's adult life to come together. To say that he wasn't a little worried about Helix meeting Festival would've been a lie but they had bigger worries and this was just the first step on a very difficult journey - even getting this far had been one hell of a struggle but it was about time that they finished this once and for all.
