I have another story blocking the way first.  And I don't really know which organization might do something like that without damaging anyone else's plans.ÂÂ

Probably, but that's usually when the public wants to see them fall.

Generally Lara avoids violence.  At least until a small army comes to haul her away, then she might become somewhat defensive.  I'm sure they know that though, so I was speculating on whether they'd take the chance or leave it alone.

They might have difficulty taking it.  She tends to resist that sort of thing.ÂÂ

I meant Chiaki as an example of someone who switched sides without really switching sides, and profiting from it massively at the same time.
