Yeah, I've been in a car with a manual transmission maybe... once in my life?

>Well, never getting into a stranger's car is one of the first things they drill into you as a kid and that goes double when that stranger might be a magus who wants you dead. Stay put and act like we didn't see that.

>You stay put and act like you don't notice. After a moment the hand withdraws and the limo's door closes, seemingly on its own.
>The limo reverses, then turns down the street that you are parked, slowly approaching.
>"I can see it," says Archer. "Just a couple moments and I'll be right beside your car!"

>You palm your rock with the proper letters painted on it.
>The limousine pulls up beside your car and comes to a stop.
>"I'm just outside the door on the side beside you," Archer sends to you. "Orders?"
>One of rear windows of the limo, even with your driver's side window, slowly rolls down. You can just see the outline of someone inside; a man. An older man, you think.

>Are there any noticeable details we can see even from here; weight, hair color, complexion? Do they look vaguely familiar in any way?
Did you bring a light?

Obviously just have Robin waltz over there and shank him, and be back home in time for tea.

>You think he's Caucasian. The shape of his face suggests either one hell of a lantern jaw, or he is definitely older. You can't see his hair, but you think he wear glasses?
>You can just hear him say, "Young lady." His voice is definitely that of an older man.

>You cannot. Whether this means he isn't one, or you just can't sense it is up in the air.

>"Um..."Well, guess we can't avoid this guy now that he's verbally addressed us. We should still stay put, though.
>"Robin, he's talking to me. Hurry up please."

>"I'm right here, what do you want?" Archer says.
>"If you wish to survive this war, it is best that you listen to what I have to say," says the man in the limo. You can detect a hint of irritation in his tone.

>Er, hang on a second. Is this vocal communication that could be heard by the guy talking to us? If so, don't actually say this yet.

Edit: Also, I think we ought to at least hear the guy out, so long as Robin has aim on him to do something if he turns out to want to do more than just talk

My bad, didn't realise he was so close.
>Hold that for now, how quietly can we communicate with Robin? Do we have a telepathic link?

>"I'm getting in first," Archer sends to you.
>You leave your vehicle, and climb into the limo. The interior is plush and soft beyond anything you've felt in a vehicle before. There is more than enough room to stretch your legs without hitting the other seat. As you sit down, your door closes on its own, and the limo slowly begins to roll down the street. Sitting opposite of you, barely illuminated in a dim car light shining behind him, is an older man with glasses. His age is hard to guess at, but he is certainly in his 60s at least. He has  a full head of hair, short and immaculately coiffed, with a clear part following his left temple.
>"I will get directly to the point," he says. "My name is Charles Koch, and I will pay you 30 million dollars for those command seals."
