[Some of the immediate potential violence in his posture seeps out when Ange confirms they were together, pretty much solidifying that Martin had lied.
It makes sense, the man had done nothing but manipulate and lie to him that whole time, maybe even from the time they had met if it had all been one long con. But why had he tried to send Bucky after this woman? What had Ruby done to make her a target this way? Especially when Martin knew that he had killed one person over mind control already, which means he must have known that to send Bucky after her was almost a death sentence.
He frowns at the phone, not wanting Ange any more involved than she already is.]
You don't have to.
[His gaze flicks up to Ruby, assuming she also doesn't want her girlfriend here for this.]
