I really need to stop posting these late at night...

Andi stared at her brother in disbelief for a few minutes. She then stared at the other man. She frowned then pulled out her phone and showed him the picture.

"Do you know who this is then?" She asked quietly and looked at him hopefully. Steve thought for a few minutes then furrowed his brow.

"It's been a long time since I saw these two. They're bounty hunters and... well... I ran into them a lot. The woman is nasty and I suggest you stay away from her." He said seriously. "I know their names... but I can't figure out what they are." He mumbled.

She nodded slowly and put her phone away for a moment. She walked back over to Peter with her brother and sat down. She stared at him and noticed he hadn't taken his medication.

"Peter. You need to..." she trailed off and furrowed her brow. He looked at her then reached for the pills. She gently gripped his hand to stop him then took the pills back.

"Hold on..." she whispered quietly and gently gripped his hand again. She stood up and walked off with the medication. "Steve will you keep him company?" She asked quietly.

"Uh.... but he doesn't talk back." He said as he looked at her. She stared at him and smiled slightly.

"He appreciates it anyway." She said before walking off. Steve rubbed his head awkwardly and stared at the man. The two just stared at each other awkwardly for a full two minutes.

"Uh... hi." Steve said as he smiled nervously. Peter just stared at him blankly in response.

Andi had put the pills in her pocket and made her way to the medicine area. She peaked through the window then hid as someone approached. The person left the room and walked by, not seeing her. She quickly slipped into the room before the door closed. She hid again and waited for a few minutes. Her heartbeat quickened as she realized this was a bad idea.

She sighed shakily and went to the medicine cabinet. She quickly found his medication after going through his file. She frowned deeply at some of the drugs. They weren't fimailar to her in anyway.

She frowned deeply and continued to look through them. She took pictures of each bottle Peter was taking. She heard someone coming and quickly put everything back before hiding. The person went into the back room and she quickly slipped out.

Her heartbeat faster and faster as she went towards the record room. She looked around then found Peters file after some difficulty. She bit her lip and took pictures of each page then put it back. She sighed shakily and went back to her brother. It was almost time for her to go home now. She smiled slightly as she saw Steve was telling Peter all about his life. Well current life and crushes.

"Hey Peter." She said as she smiled brightly and sat by him. "We have to go but we'll be back in the morning." She promised and he smiled a little. Steve got up and went to check out.

Andi watched him go then furrowed her brow. She looked at Peter then around the room. No one was looking and she hugged him gently around the neck.

"Don't take the pills." She whispered quietly so only he heard. "Whatever you do... don't take them." She muttered and walked off. He furrowed his brow with confusion as he watched her go. But wasn't it supposed to help him?

That night, after the facility was locked up and the security was settled in, a lone man walked to the building. He stopped at the fence and stared before jumping over into a blind spot. It was extremely small and you wouldn't know about it, unless you'd been there before.
