[ha ha GUESS WHAT ASSHOLE

It works. It works really well, because what kind of idiot lights a fire in the middle of a desert in a position that's not at all defensible? That's suspicious, and though he knows on some level that it might be a trap, this moron is basically asking for it.

76 hasn't exactly had a good week. After his conscience got the better of him in a split-second confrontation, Los Muertos has become that much more elusive, a testament to being alerted of his presence. Raw intimidation can only do so much, and he has a feeling he lost some of that clout when word got around that he let an entire truck full of weaponry get away. It's a soft spot to exploit--doesn't matter how many heads he beats in if they're laughing about how a notorious vigilante terrorizing their operation is really just an old man who'll more than willingly pitch mission objectives out the window to throw himself down for a singular child. He doesn't regret the decision, exactly, but as far as they're concerned, it's a weakness, and he's still going to be angry about what happened.

Add that to the Overwatch recall and he's in a sour mood. The silhouette in his tac visor is uncomfortably familiar (even if he knows everyone dresses like this out here, maybe), and ever since he caught wind of Winston's message, he's known that ex-agents are going to try and seek him out--some altruistically, some not. The bounty on his head isn't anything to sneeze at.

So, yes, probably this will get him in trouble, but mostly he wants to see who's stupid enough to light a campfire where anyone in a ten mile radius can see it. He's not stupid enough to think that the guy is asleep--he sees the cigar smoke, after all.

There's no real cover as he moves in, so he tries to approach from behind.
