“Really?! And go where?!”
“I’ve got a plane waiting for us,” Roger got annoyed. The man was nervous, so he’s talkative.”

“You could stay here, take your chances and maybe even get tortured or something,” Roger was being cynical.

“Forgive me for not noticing you Isaac.” She said while chewing. “I’m still not fully awake yet, how did you sleep?”
“No, this is a personal trip. Though it wasn’t me who blew up your precious police station.”
“Good point. If the choice is life and material wealth with anonymity . . . or death. For most of us that would an easy choice.”
“Hey!” Dax cut off the man’s babbling. “Now you listen to me young man, you don’t just come rushing into a fine establishment-“
“Let's get out of here, we won't do our cause any good if get captured or killed,” Derek said.

“Seriously?” one of the other men asked. “Why has it taken so long for you guys to get here?”
“It’s not that bad. And you’re not that good with creepy and scary stuff are you?” Farren pushed a door open to see a old patient's room.
