「 he only half relaxed when he saw abby. his fingers loosened, but remained curled around the grip of the gun. just because she’d been kind to him a handful of times before, didn’t mean she wasn’t going to turn him in now. but when she spoke, the concern in her voice stamped out those fears and his hand dropped to his side. the way she said his name was almost comforting.
murphy opened his mouth to say something, explain maybe, but being grabbed and pulled back inside the door startled him enough that his mouth opened and closed wordlessly. following her gaze to emori, that fear crawled back up his throat. he moved between the two women protectively, without even thinking to. abby had no reason to care about emori, leave alone risk her life and place in the bunker for the two of them. it was barely believable that she was worried about him.
suffice to say, her last words had him shocked. his eyes narrowed, the only show of the confusion that bombarded him. he wasn’t used to people looking out for him. maybe he never would be.
his tongue darted out across his bottom lip before he spoke. ❝ that’s what we’re doing. every where else sounds like its crawling with people. ❞ he hadn’t been the most adventurous admittedly, wanting to avoid people. and it really didn’t make sense why this section of the bunker was empty. but that wasn’t a question he wanted an answer to, not wanting to jinx himself.
hiding was only a temporary measure, even with abby’s apparent help. he still didn’t know how to resolve that yet. ideally he’d find a way to make them useful - too useful to kick out when they were eventually found out. 」
Abby nodded. "These rooms house all the electrical gizmos that make the rest of this place work. The farm and the medical bay. So unless something breaks down, you should be safe here." For the time being, but that went without saying. She didn't try to move between John and Emori, knowing full well that he would do whatever he could to protect her.
She closed her eyes and put her fingers to the bridge of her nose to pinch it slightly as the pain started. She felt her body growing a bit numb. She shook her head, knowing that she should probably seat herself in case a seizure was to follow.
These were exactly like Raven's symptoms, and she would have to follow the instructions that Raven had laid out for Jackson on how to handle the stroke and remaining code inside her brain. She took a shaky breath as she bent to touch one of the large pipes protruding from the wall to check and see if it was cool enough to seat herself upon. Finding it cold, she sat down slowly and looked up at him.
"When was the last time you've eaten?" They would have had to have hidden for a while before Primfya hit, and they couldn't have risked being seen and trying to smuggle food.
