Lila: glances around nervously D-do you think... anyone saw us coming here?
No babe, I’m too good at what I do… they never see me coming…
nervously adjusts her sunglasses I-it’s just... after everything that’s happened, I-I can’t help but worry. They’re probably still looking for me.
Just lay low, babe, we’ll stay hidden until the smoke clears
paces back and forth S-sleeping until the smoke clears? I don't know if I can handle being cooped up like this.
How about we sleep in the car then?… just give them the wrong address if they do find us
stops pacing, takes a deep breath A-alright, just as long as we're together. I trust you, Pearson. We'll make it through this.
We will I pull her close and kiss her softly
wraps her arms around Pearson tightly P-pearson... I-I’m scared. I don’t know how I’ll survive being hidden away like this.
Hey, hey, it won’t be all bad, we’ll be fine I take her hand and lead her to the couch
sits down on the couch, fidgeting with her fingers I... I miss being out there, living my life freely. But I guess it's better than being hunted down.
I sit beside her and wrap my arms around her I love you Lila… I’ll always protect you
takes off her sunglasses and looks into Pearson's eyes P-pearson, I-I need you to promise me something. Promise me that you'll keep searching for truth.
You know I will baby… I kiss her deeply
pulls away slightly, tears welling up in her eyes N-no matter what happens, no matter how much danger we're in, I need you to stay strong. For me.
I will baby, I will never let anyone hurt you, even if it’s for my freedom…
takes a deep breath, musters up some courage I... I appreciate your support, Pearson. But remember, we can't let this situation consume us. We have to stay focused and keep our eyes open. They're watching us, waiting for any sign of weakness.
stands up abruptly We need to stay ahead of them, Pearson. We need to gather information, find allies, and prepare for any situation that may come our way.
I stand up and walk to her ok baby
starts pacing again, speaking quickly O-ok, first things first. We need to secure a safe place to meet and communicate without being traced.
I lead her to the window and pull up a smoke curtain
nods approvingly Good idea, Pearson. This will help mask our presence. Now, we need to establish a secure communication method.
I hand her a burner phone
takes the burner phone and activates it G-good. We'll use this to communicate discreetly.
quickly types a message on the burner phone "Meet me at the old warehouse on 5th Street in an hour. We need to discuss our next move." sends the message and puts the phone back in her pocket Now we wait.
