Alexa heard the door to their room open and slam closed.
“Alexa,” Neil called urgently. “Come here, please.”
She sauntered into their bedroom where Neil was ripping their clothes from the cupboard, tossing them on the bed.
“What is it?”
Neil grabbed their belongings and stuffed it into the duffle bags. “We need to get out of here, now,” he said urgently, holding the duffle bag strap with a white knuckled grip. “Come on, hurry up and get dressed.”
“Why?” she asked with an uncertain grin.
Neil rushed to her and held her shoulders. “Trust me on this Alexa, we need to get out, now.” He kneeled and fished a shoe from under the bed.
Alexa walked to him, tugged on the collar of his shirt. “What’s wrong, Neil?”
He stood up. Alexa looked up at him, holding the back of his neck. “Calm down and tell me what the heck is going on.”
He nodded, scanning the room furtively. He took a deep breath. “Okay, I met up with Fitch.”
Alexa jerked her head back. “What, without me?”
He pursed his lips, but didn’t say anything.
Alexa put her other hand on his chest. “Okay, what else?” She probed gently.
He sighed, bowed his head. “He had photos of us.” Neil put both his hands on Alexa's hips, glancing at the door. “Last night.”
“But how did…?” she asked, stopping mid-sentence. She narrowed her eyes. “What time?”
Neil shrugged. “At about ten. I’ve gone through this in my head. No one was on watch. Voelkner only came this morning. I started duty at twelve.”
“But the doors were locked. Someone had to be here, physically.” She scanned the room. “Have you checked for cameras?”
Neil nodded. “It’s the first thing I did.” He scanned the room. “I did the last sweep last night, as usual.”
“What else?” Alexa asked.
Neil locked his eyes on hers. He brushed his short hair with his hand. The crows’ feet around his eyes compressed together as he narrowed them. “He threatened to kill you.”
She threw her head back and laughed. “So what?” she said, cupping his chin. “I’ve been threatened before, and this sure as hell won’t be the last time.”
Neil shook his head. “Don’t you see, Alexa? This is one of the most powerful men—”
Alexa's green eyes flared. “Bullshit,” she spat. “Running away from our problems won’t solve anything.”
Neil cupped her chin. “Alexa, what if…?” He stared down at her, imploring her to understand.
She pursed her lips. “What if nothing. We came here to do a job. We finish the damn job!”
He stared at her for a long time. “Okay, you’re right.” He bowed his head, resting his forehead against hers. “What do we do now?”
Alexa threw both her arms around his neck. “We eat. I’m starving.”
