Seeking Refuge

[Emily Shale-Vanders]

Emily had already eaten, so she just let Jared eat, and maybe occasionally took something off of his plate. She thought about Rachel and a plan for her. She'd need someone to keep an eye on her all day. There were people on the staff who could do so, and she could certainly activate the "Find Me" thing on her wallet so that if she got away, they could find her. It was going to be a rough time for awhile. But the guy who did it was dead.

Emily considered that. Her own moral compass should have been a bit upset about that, but it wasn't. He had messed with her family, and had maybe done lasting damage. Emily really hoped Rachel would recover. Emily heard Nox ask Marta about watching the baby, and this time it got a smile instead of freaking her out. She would be okay. She would have plenty of help.

When they were done, Emily spoke to Nox. "I hope I'm not much of a bother, but we have Rachel downstairs in the bedroom in your gym. I was hoping it would be alright if we could stay here for the night. Just me and her that is. I don't know how long she's going to sleep. I'll stay in there anyways. Thanks for helping with this. And not just with Lucio, but the information on how to help her. It's going to be rough, but I think we'll make it."
