[They'd been walking for days. Meals were scarce, but they managed. Mostly, they didn't talk; it was all they could do to keep warm without uncovering their faces ( Read more... )

[It's almost two hours before they return, sans John. Al doesn't look triumphant, but he's not in handcuffs and the sheriff's relaxed. Adler speaks up as they come through the door.] You two can't stay at that house. Gotta find yourself a place or move on.

[Calavicci stops and looks at Adler.] Well, wait, what about my sister? She's still sick. I think I've got a couple bucks, but we can't afford a room. And we can't move on -- not when she's like that.

I'll put you up. [This was Rita.]

[Kara had heard him creaking around upstairs, but she hadn't heard him descend the stairs, so she jumps at the sound of his voice behind her.] Give a girl some warning, huh? [She gives a small laugh, wringing out a pillowcase and hanging it on the line.]

How's it going outside? [Like she doesn't know. Oh, Kara, nonchalance is not your forte.]

I've only got the drive left. [He smirked from behind his coffee mug. He hadn't imagined her to be the jumpy type. From what he could tell, she was pretty tough and pretty solid, even if she'd been stricken with such a cough.] Probably head back out here in a minute.

[Kara nods and finishes up with the last pillowcase.] So you came down here to... what? Check up on me? [She smirks and begins setting the laundry room to rights.]

[Al shrugged.] Something like that, I guess. [He glanced around the basement and then settled his dark eyes back on Kara.] Never know what you might find in a basement. I like 'em, though -- they're kinda like the guts of the house, aren't they?

Guess so. [Finished, she turns to him.] Something particular you're looking for?

[He looked particularly stumped (for once) and scratched at his hair with his free hand.] No, I wasn't lookin' for nothin'. Just makin' conversation.

[When he couldn't think of anything else to say, he just turned and started back up the stairs.] I'll be outside if you need me.
