Helena gave Kiki a little sigh, first at being called silly and then being called ridiculous. "Maybe. Perhaps a bit," she conceded but was quick to add, "but that evil is still out there." It did feel silly and ridiculous to say but it was the truth. Something terrible was lurking out there. Before she could press further her husband was saying he was stepping out, and refusing to let her protest. She was nodding, even if her face didn't look particularly pleased with his plan.
"But we have friends out there," she said softly, not wanting to think they would leave them out there where it was dangerous. Peter had that Cole fellow and Kiki had a more than a handful of friends in the building. And she had Ella, and... and... There was someone else but their name and face refused to come. She didn't have time to think on it more, now that her husband was leaving. Kiki was still with her and she was too far from him. She'd have to lock and bolt that door later.
"Please hurry back." Her mind was turning over with precaution she could take. She had her cross and if she could tear herself away from her friend long enough, she could find some rosaries. She had a small vial of holy water but that wouldn't be enough. She knew that with only her and Kiki, they didn't have a strong line of defense in their unit. "Hurry back," she pleaded one last time before turning to the blonde. "Come, I know it's late and you must be tired. But we must lock everything. Do you still have a cross?" If she didn't Helena would simply give her the one around her throat.
