Snippet #2165425

Abegail nodded to Franklin's statements. Of course it wouldn't be easy and even though the plan seemed to come together she wondered if it would go off as expected. She frowned as he mentioned Walter. It was true, Walter's reputation did aid in some things. Perhaps they did know each other. The question was how well, she had never heard him mention Franklin before. They had been out of each other's company for a time now so it was possible that Franklin and Walter had developed a friendship.

The talk of the device, the suit meant to keep a wounded soldier going made Abegail pause. She understood fully why an army would want such a thing but she was comfortable and used to carrying around her pieces of the Flag. She wasn't entirely convinced the device was for her. She'd go after it as it meant Walter's return but as to her use of it, she was still unsure.

As they stood, gathering their things Abegail leaned in to Franklin, "So I am sorry but exactly who are we getting the device for? I know we want to get Walter back but exactly who has him, who wants this and who were you initially working for?" She was hoping by continually questioning him that she might find any lies or inconsistencies.

Abegail followed Franklin off of the plane.

Charlotte barely hid her sneer as Walter untangled himself from her grasp. How could he think of packing when she was practically in his lap?

Smiling sweetly, she hid her disgust. Charlotte stood and brushed her skirt, smoothing out wrinkles that were not really there.

"Thank you, I will get right on our travel arrangements."

Charlotte moved to the phone and dialed a number. She waited until it was connected and then proceeded to tell the person on the other line what she wanted arranged. "Two tickets, yes. Two hotel rooms please for when we arrive and a car."

There was a pause. "Oh, I understand. Yes well we will figure out an arrangement. Yes thank you. We will be there in less than an hour. Flight is in hour and a half? Wonderful, thank you."

She placed the receiver down. Everything had already been in place. Two tickets, one hotel room, the car...everything to ensure that Walter was always close, always watched and Charlotte was in control.

She smiled and moved across the room to where Walter had gone to pack, she spoke loudly to ensure he could hear her.

"Our plane leaves in an hour and a half, a car will be waiting for us upon arrival. The only hitch is the hotel only had one room available. I am sure we can find a way to make that work for a few nights. Don't you Dr Rivers."
