Greta and Kendra walked down the hallway, the collar of the shirt Greta was wearing was making her neck itch, but since she had been the one to offer herself to go with Kendra, she couldn't really complain about it now. The pair walked down the white hallway, a few men walked past them, nodding at both of them and making Greta nervous that they had been there too long already and were still without a clue as to what on earth Jacob and Savage wanted from the military complex.

"This place is giving me the chills" whispered Greta, the intensely white walls and the bright lights above where starting to get to her.

"I know what you mean" nodded Kendra, they took a curve "But after the firs complex you break into, it gets easier"

"This isn't your first complex?"

"Nope" answered Kendra "I even worked at one in one of my past lives"

"Really?" Greta turned to look at her, her eyes full of amazement.

"I don't remember a lot of details yet, but I do remember that my name was Cassandra and I meet Carter working there"

"Oh" smiled Greta, Kendra glanced at her and gave her a small smile "What was his name?"

"He usually goes with the same name" Kendra smiled as she looked down at her feet for a small second "He remembers faster than I do" she glanced at Greta, and the blond could see a light behind Kendra's eyes "But he's name was Michael when I meet him"

"Nice" smiled Greta, she looked away and sighed heavily as she noticed the hallway diving in two. "We should split up"

"I don't know if that's a good idea" Kendra shifted her weight from one leg to the other, her mind flashing with what had happened the last time Greta had been on her own; she bit her inner cheek and turned to look at the young woman.

"We'll cover the place better" she shrugged "And anyway" she looked down at her watch "We are supposed to get out of here like in twenty minutes, so we need to hurry, I'm pretty sure this is the last hallway we have to check"

"We meet here in ten minutes, Greta, no more"

"Yeah" laughed Greta, she nodded rapidly and her high ponytail bounced behind her.

Greta turned on her heels and walked towards the hall that opened to the left, Kendra watched her walk away, her blond hair swaying behind her; she took a deep breath watching the young woman, the last thing she wanted was for Greta to come across more trouble, though she had been of great help to the team it also meant that she had started to take a place in their hearts and daily lives and Kendra couldn't really bare the horror she had seen in Savage's eyes when he had seen Greta down at the cells.

She waited until Greta was out of sight and took the other corridor, her agile eyes darting around the hall; whatever Savage and Jacob were looking for had to be in that place, the team had searched the other levels of the complex and the Rogues plus Ray would be waiting for Kendra and Greta outside the complex in half an hour and yet they had nothing to go by.

The goddess came to stop by a room with huge wall window, inside she could see a few containers and rocks, she glanced over her shoulder and took a step closer to the window, narrowing her eyes to get a better look at the objects inside the room; to her it all looked like equipment that Ray and Martin used, but that didn't mean it couldn't be important.

"Let's do this quickly"

She turned to the door and reached for the knob, turning it and rushing into the room before anyone else decided to walk into the hallway at that moment; the door closed behind her gently, she noticed the change of smell from the corridor to the room, the chemicals had imprinted themselves into the walls and that made Kendra want to look around as fast as she could and get out of there rapidly.
