Charlie was waiting outside of the lab, just in case the girl attempted to flee. Lindsey, meanwhile, was inside the lab and trying to bring the girl up to speed on the situation as a whole. In a purely Lindsey sort of way, of course.
All-in-all, Charlie had to admit she didn't really mind her role of playing watchdog. She wasn't so great with kids in general, having not much of a childhood herself and therefore finding it near impossible to relate to any of them, and she definitely didn't have the silver tongue that Lindsey did, so she would have no clue what to say to the poor girl. So, she stayed put right where she was, keeping one eye on the door leading into the lab and the other on a television monitor she'd had security roll into the hallway that kept an eye on the cameras throughout the building. It was easier to watch for any possible interruptions, that way, since she lacked super hearing and really would rather have a heads up before the elevator doors slid opened and she was face to face with whatever might decide to come calling at this really inopportune time.
As it turns out, the monitor was a good idea because no sooner had she sighed in what might almost pass for boredom was there a flash of something across the screen. She frowned, gaze flickering from one tiny box to the next one just in time to see the same thing. Then on another one.
Sure enough, someone was on their way up to the lab. And they were moving fast.
Turning, the blonde pushed the doors opened and stepped quietly inside. Her heart ached slightly for how devastated the small girl looked, but Charlie pushed aside her empathy and cleared her throat, turning her attention to Lindsey.
"We're about to have some company," she stated simply before giving Kathy a small smile and wave.
"Hey there," she greeted the girl, then stuffed her hand back into the pocket of her leather jacket, face once more returning to indifferent and gaze flickering back to her boss as she waited for his decision on how to handle this not-so-surprising turn of events.
