Monique squeaked, dropping the badge. She picked it back up with a sigh. "You're probably right. But... do you really think that all the cops are on board with this whole 'persecute the gifteds' thing?"

"All of them? Probably not," Kailen responded. "But the people they send after us will be."

Monique sagged, placing the badge on the bed. "That sounds awful. How are we gonna hide? They'll have records to reference. Not to mention they'll be way more mobile than us. We're stuck walking, while they've got police cars, helicopters, and who knows what else?"

"Police cars and helicopters can't go anywhere. There are places you can only reach by foot, and what records do you think they're looking at? There's a reason we're not going home."

"What places? Do you have a destination in mind, or what?"

"I think the point of being on the run is that there's not really a destination, Monique," Kailen pointed out.

"So, we're just supposed to wander alone in the woods?" Monique sat on the bed. "Are you sure we can't just take our chances staying here?"

Kailen stared at her, deadpan, and said, "Well, if you'd like to see who the mob with shotguns comes for next, be my guest."

Monique gasped, face red. "Sh-shotguns?!" She covered her mouth. "Kailen, why would you..." She trailed off, looking away from Kailen. "I-I'm so sorry."

"I'm going to get something from the vending machine in the hall," Kailen said, leaving the room without waiting for her to respond.

Monique continued sitting there, unsure what to say, or even if she should say anything.

"Alright guys, I'm ready to head out." Stephanie opened the door and if they hadn't seen her go in, they would not have recognized her.
Her already narrow face was all angles and sternness, with sunken-in cheeks and raised cheekbones. Slight bags under her eyes suggested overwork, and she'd darkened her eyebrows to accentuate them and make them look just a tad longer, making her whole expression sterner. She wore a brown matte lipstick as dark as it could go while still passing for natural, and mascara that looked like it had been applied as an afterthought, and her hair had also been tied in an extremely tight ponytail. In short she appeared around ten years older and extremely serious, the sort of person you would not want to bother if passing on the street. "Alright, where'd I leave my badge?" Stephanie did not smile and her body language seemed tenser and stiffer, like she just wanted to get this done and go home. She paused and her eyes flicked around when she saw only one person in the room. "Where's Kailen?" She asked, looking over to Monique.

Monique offered up the fake badge with a pout. "He went to get a snack from the vending machine."

"Alright, makes sense. I'm sure he'll be in in a minute." She attached the badge to her belt and put the ID in her pocket as well.

"I hope so," Monique mumbled. "Are you sure you want to go out there alone?"
