Zora marched into the base with her head high. Okay, so Marc had outsmarted her. She shouldn't have expected any less, he's in charge for a reason. She needs to just move past this and continue her investigation. But she would be a lot more careful from here on out.
Death looked at her watch when they entered the lounge. "Cutting it kind of close," she said. "Another five minutes and we would have gone there ourselves. To make sure nothing happened to you."
"I can take care of myself," Zora said.

Better safe than sorry, and you never know what could happen. Also, here's a badge. Let's go."
