"I know, I know…" He sighed, taking another sip. "We're stuck in the middle."

Lulu huffed, wanting very much to punch something, but not sure what. "I'm done with all of this crap."

"So am I." He muttered.

"Don't you want to save Kathleen?" She asked, glancing over to him.

"I do." He said. "Just-"

"Just what?" Lulu asked, voice suddenly soft as she fixed her eyes on him. It was hopeless, and the both of them knew it. There was no getting around them, and even if they did, it would be at a cost neither wanted to pay. But for now, though-

"What if we fail? What if we all get killed?" He asked, looking down.

"I don't know. We might," She said softly, putting a somewhat comforting hand on his shoulder.

He nodded silently, leaning into the touch.

She sighed, again almost angrily but not quite. "Do you have any place we could go? Even here, they could attack at night when no one's here."

"No, I don't." He admitted. "I haven't exactly left town for a few years."

"Yeah, me neither, but…" She sighed. "We can't even go inside a 24-hour facility without leaving the car out here, and we'd probably get questioned inside about the briefcase. They kidnapped Kathleen in a public music studio in broad daylight!" She put her hands up to her face, groaning into them as she dropped her head onto Eric's shoulder, exhausted.
