That flash of panic she'd had earlier, just before the doctor told her somebody was coming to talk to her, was just the tip of the ice berg. The most obvious part of a mountain of trouble heading her way.
This doctor coming in from Washington was another worry. Something about it just didn't seem right. Which was why she'd gone out to her car for 'something' and was now sitting in the doctor's waiting room as fully armed as she was equipped to be.
And she was sitting at the window watching the cars pull up. It was quite obvious which one was her meet. She took a moment to analyse the situation and each of the players.
Lady doctor, youngish, soft-hearted, probably the one that was going to come talk to her. Tall guy, professional hunter like her, experienced, good at his job, obvious feelings for the doc. A pair of military types, cool, calm, disciplined, shit-poor when it came to acting inconspicuous.
And the chill up her spine shifted by a few degrees. Whatever she'd caught, it had government interest. Which was firmly in the classification of "this sucks." She probably would need to talk to them to get some answers, but not under their rules.
Rally stood up and walked to the bath room. There was a narrow window in there. She thought she could probably just make it through. She couldn't, at least, she couldn't about five days ago. Now it just took a slight unconscious shift of form and she was out.
Rally reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone.
"May," she said. "You see them?"
"Yeah, I got em," May returned over the phone.
"Not so paranoid, am I?" Rally asked.
"Just because people are after you, doesn't mean you're not paranoid, Rally," May quipped.

"She wasn't in there," Laura said coming out.
"Yeah, she found us," Press answered irritably, pointing to the car behind him and the girls behind them, one with the shotgun and the other apparently wearing a vest of explosives.
"Now, for the answers," Rally said.
