Somewhere in a Car | Friday Afternoon

As much as Dimitri agreed that there was no other choice, Abe's plan had bothered him from the beginning. It wasn't that he thought the plan wouldn't work, more that Dimitri hated the thought of destroying Rose's already insanely precarious record. There wasn't a lot of precedence for fugitives returning to their positions, innocent or not

Dimitri might be on edge, but Rose was almost too tired to be. Sure, she hadn't done anything all week except sit in a jail cell and get accused of murder, but somehow that was exhausting.

She fiddled with the ugly pink bedazzled Flyers cap in her lap, really wanting to throw it out the window. But it seemed the only disguise she had (and she was not cutting her hair) for now so keeping the horrible thing was the plan.

The plan. Somehow everyone she trusted the most had conspired to make one without bothering to mention it to her. Which was a little annoying. Rose kept reminding herself that without that, she'd still be sitting in that cell, waiting for her trail, but still! Didn't they trust her at least a little?

"Where are we going?" she asked (again) as she stared out at the generally ugly landscape.

Dimitri barely glanced her way when she spoke. "You should focus on getting some rest while you can," he answered, totally avoiding her question. Dimitri wasn't sure how he felt about going to Fandom again, let alone how he was supposed to deal with her reaction.

Especially when he'd kidnapped her from there.

"Or I could drive, and you could get some rest," she suggested almost reflexively. "You should get some rest too - you've been pretty busy."

Yes, yes, there was the faintest hint of bitterness in her voice at the reminder no one had told her.

Like he could help looking her way when she volunteered to take the wheel. "I'm fine. I was prepared for this." Not for her, but for the action taking place. "And it would be better not to draw attention to this vehicle."
