Snippet #2177068

Abegail moved with Franklin into the hangar as he focused on the man he was meeting. She kept watch, looking for those who might be lying in wait.

Abegail moved to the side, nodding curtly to Franklin as he said he would go get the forklift. She was glad he was going to do it as she had no idea how to operate the large machine. She wondered again how she was to be of use in this little adventure. Choosing to play lookout she put her small bag in the corner, taking the gun out and slipping it into her coat pocket as she did so. Abegail moved to a spot where she could easily see anyone coming towards them. She listened for the sound of the forklift.

Charlotte preferred it when Walter was excited as he paid better attention to her and asked less questions. She needed him to yield to her desires in this, not his own devices. She followed him to the front door. Watching him get ever more excited.

'Of course Dr Rivers."

She moved past him and out into the street where a car with a driver waited for her. Charlotte walked towards it and quickly slipped inside. "Hotel and then airport. Say nothing to him do you understand?" She ordered the driver in Russian. The man nodded his agreement. She looked out the window to where Walter was exiting the house and she assumed locking the door behind him.

When he entered the vehicle, Charlotte smiled. "Off we go Dr Rivers. Since we will be both rooming and working together please, call me Charlotte. It is a pleasure to have you as a part of my small team working on locating the dragon's teeth. Your work is legendary and impressive and I just knew you were the man I needed to find." Charlotte looked away coyly, glancing back at Walter with slightly flushed cheeks. "You might say I am an admirer of yours Dr Rivers."

She adjusted in her seat. "The car is taking us to the hotel very briefly, they have my bags at the front desk and then onto the airport. We will be in Bulgaria by morning. There are a few short layovers and one switching of our plane before we arrive."
