"A ghost. It's better for you and anyone you might care about if you just turn around and leave now." It wasn't a threat, but a statement of fact. If some camera somewhere picked up on this guy talking to him and enough even half-clever people saw the footage, they'd be bale to do the math and know this wasn't the meeting it looked like. And then there'd be questions, maybe even torture, depending on how paranoid the Capitol got.

"Nothing I should tell you would make you feel better." Bucky could tell him something like that, but he didn't even know if this guy was truly trust-worthy. He'd seen his name thrown around that Lonestar post as someone who could be trusted, but that didn't mean Bucky trusted him.
