Graves hummed to himself as he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. His eyes flickered over to Ms. Malloy and he felt guilt engulf him when he saw the bruise appearing on her cheek, 'you okay?' He asks gently and she jumps a little and he hated seeing that, 'yeah, I'm okay Charles'.
He looked up into the rear view mirror to look at Melissa, 'A... Are you okay?' His voice seemed to bring her back from wherever she was, 'yeah, I'm fine... You know... I didn't mind being called Melissa, it's grown on me'.
Graves smiled, 'I understand, the name sounds a little odd when I said it', he took a turn down Second View Avenue.
'Do you think they'll find us?'
Ms. Malloy asked, her eyes scanning the street, 'I think everything should be fine, but I went back to see if the house was alright but they've swarmed it', Melissa had that concerned look in her eyes, 'what about the trap door? Do you think they got to it?'
Graves shook his head, 'I highly doubt those idiots would've found it, so when everything dies down, I'll go back and grab the necessary documents and download the info from the computer'.
He looked down at his watch, it had just hit 1:00 o'clock.
