This whole thing was a mess. They were somewhere new. From an orange grove, having gotten rid of Roman, to this place. A library where they'd been almost tossed out. Except for the fact that there was all of those things outside. She didn't know what they were, but they were all over, they were killing people and no amount of shooting seemed to help. So they were there, trying to hide, or figure out what to do. Of course Reese was more focused on those things outside than her own well-being. Roman had roughed her up. Not just roughed her up, and she was more worse for wear than she had let on.

But she was tough, and had ignored the fact that she was in a lot of pain. There was a limp, not that she'd been walking a bunch. She was almost glad that she didn't have to deal with Tidwell right now. Plus there was something odd going on between her and Crews. Not just that he'd killed Roman. It was more than that.

Finally wandering away from the door where she had been checking out what was outside, she hadn't noticed how much she was bleeding. There had to be something to get cleaned up with around here anyway, right? "Okay, let's get this over with," she told him when she saw him. Right. This was going to be ... weird.

Reese didn't like it anymore than he did. "Maybe that's best. Or at least ask if there's somewhere safe? Somehow to get around them? Anything really. We need to know. I can ask, if you'd rather." She wasn't thinking about medical attention, she just wanted to get the fuck out of here. This place was giving her the creeps.

"Give me your phone, I want to see something."

"Why do you want my phone?" Even as he asked the question, Charlie held out the device. He didn't think she'd throw it down and destroy it, but he had no idea why she wanted it. Sometimes, he just couldn't figure out her motivations.

"There's got to be something we can do. But I don't want to get you killed when I just got you back." His voice dropped low, as if he were revealing a secret.

Dani reached over, making a face and grabbed the phone. "I just want to see it." No she didn't want to destroy it. She just wanted to look. To see if it was now like hers. Whether it said anything at all. Maybe someone had left him a message and not her. It was possible. Doubtful, but possible.

As she looked through the phone, she finally glanced over at him. "You're not going to lose me, Crews. I swear I'm not going to do anything foolish. I don't want to get you killed either. Those things are going to get in here though and we need a plan. Like when we were in the earthquake, we need a plan."

"The plan is," Charlie started, then fell short. He didn't have a plan. He liked jumping head first into a situation without a plan. More spontaneous, that way. But this situation required a plan, if he as going to keep Dani safe.

"The plan is...to make a plan." He nodded triumphantly. "That is indeed the plan." He laughed a little, more nervous than amused. He had no idea where to even start.

Okay maybe she shouldn't have told him to come up with a plan. He wasn't the best at plans. So she was going to have to do it. Finally she was able to tell where the hell they were, compared to everyone else. She flicked through the messages and turned to him. "Okay, so. Everyone is getting to the clinic. Which isn't too far. And I think that might be our best bet."

Because she was hurt, and they had to get out of here. Except how to get from here to there. "Should I just see if someone out there can help? Maybe they have something to kill those things. Or a way for us to get over there." She paused for a moment, looking over something else and then handed back her phone. "Also? We're living together. I'm gonna ask for help. Just sit tight."

He didn't know what 'we're living together' had to do with anything, but he just nodded and let Dani take charge. She was good at that, where he failed. If they were working a case and he didn't know what to do, he'd walk away, go stand in the sun or at least somewhere quiet so he could think. Thinking to him meant thinking of nothing, but it was all the same in the end. He usually figured something out in those quiet moments.

"This is me, sitting tight," he said with a slightly boyish smile. He could be deceptively simple sometimes.

She had figured that she might as well look and see which place he was supposed to be staying. It just so happened that his number matched her number. She wandered around, typing into the phone and looking to see whether this place had a back door or something. What were the place's weak points, things like that. Those things kept whizzing by. So she barred windows and doors where she found them.

Finally she came back, and sat down beside him again. "Hopefully someone is on their way. I blocked up what I could, but I don't know how long that's going to hold. We just have to hope someone comes and leads us to safety."

	"I'm sure they will," Charlie nodded. He didn't come this far, to this place wherever or whatever it was, just to die. No. He and Reese were together. They had a room assignment they hadn't even seen. They both got away from Roman. He wouldn't accept death now. "We just have to be patient." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
