Sherry changed into her pajamas in the bathroom and climbed into bed. "Do you plan on sitting in that chair all night?" She asked him. He'd not even changed his clothes yet.

"I say we ditch this place. Tonight."

"What?"

"If we need to disappear then wouldn't it be best if Leon and Claire didn't know where we were? Aren't they safer that way?"

Sherry thought about it. "Yes but I'm at least going to leave them a note."

He looked up at her then. "Write the note."

Sherry despite being exhausted began to pack her clothes and went into the bathroom to change again. She felt an odd sense of excitement building within her. She would be lying if she thought she wasn't just tiny bit excited to be running away with Jake Muller in the middle of the night.

"Hurry up Sherry," Jake called from the room.

Getting out was easy, the hotel lobby was empty except for two people: Leon and Claire.

"Shit!" said Jake when he spotted them.
"Figured you try something like this," said Leon. He held up his hands, "I owed her a coffee date."

Sherry smiled and hugged first Leon and then Claire.

"We'll get them," said Claire as she hugged Sherry back.

"I brought you this." Said Leon holding up a duffel bag, identical to the one they'd given Jake. "Your own duffel bag, like his," he nodded at Jake who smiled suddenly.

Sherry threw her arms around Leon again in a fierce hug.

Jake stood there irresolute, not sure if he should be hugging or shaking hands or what. Leon came and shook his hand though. Claire stayed back still aloof. "Take care of Sherry."

"I will," he said giving her a knowing look. She didn't like him but they both cared about Sherry.

"Tell Chris, we're sorry we missed him." Said Sherry.

"I'm not sorry." Said Jake crossing his arms.

"Chris has been dealing with 1st Sargent Devon," said Leon evenly. "Devon hasn't been the same, he knows too much but he let his personal issues get in the way. He's been talking too much. I think he's lost it."

"Will he be ok?" She asked, a little concerned. She liked the 1st Sargent, although was clueless about his interest in her.

Leon gave her a strange look and only shrugged. Women, he thought to himself. He wasn't going to say that out loud in front of Sherry. Sherry who oddly enough did not enjoy hurting people at all would have been horrified if she knew what his interest in her had caused.

"We got to go then," Jake said not really caring about 1st Sargent Devon at all.

"There's company outside waiting," said Leon. He patted his firearm. "Figured we'd give you a sendoff."

"J'Avo?" asked Sherry.

"More or less." Replied Leon. "They aren't publically going to attack you just yet. Whoever wants the virus this time must be a public face."

"I hate to say it, but steal a car, a few times just to get away," Claire said.

"Can we get back to Europe?" Jake asked suddenly. "I mean America is great and all...new clothes notwithstanding....but I know the turf there."

"Private jet?" Leon suddenly said. "I can arrange that..."

"Crash landing?" said Sherry suddenly.

Jake grinned. "Still trying to die? I like the way you think Super Girl."

Leon flipped his phone open. "Hunnigan...I'm putting Muller and Birkin on assignment in Edonia again. Yes, I know what time it is. Arrange the Lear, we have to go back to ground zero."

"Edonia isn't ground zero." Said Jake darkly...

Leon smiled this time. "It is where you're concerned but don't worry you won't make it there anyway."
