"Sometimes I think sittin' on trains"

Las Vegas, 2:39pm

"Could you please be careful?" Lacey begged Becky as she got ready to eavesdrop on the other side and potentially get information, tugging on her arm slightly.

"Macey, I've got this I promise" Becky chuckled a little bit, pulling her arm back towards herself, "have you forgotten I've dealt with them before?" She tilts her head.

"No, just" Lacey pauses, "what if you get caught? Or what if" she gulps, "they see you?"

"Don' worry" Becky shakes her head, patting her arm slightly, "I haven't been caught, and I know how to deal with the situation if I do" she nods her head, "and if she sees me, or anyone else does, then I'll have to change my plans on a whim" she shrugs a bit, letting her mind piece together a sudden change of plans if she needed to.

"Wait, you know it's a woman?" Lacey lowers her voice, "you know who she is??" She gets a little bit nervous, "h-how did she find out?? How did you find out?? Does she know who you are?? Did she say anything about me!?" She started to panic.

"No, no" Becky shakes her head, dropping the laces to her boots she was tying and standing up to her, giving her her full attention.

"Listen to me" she put her hands on her shoulders, "she doesn't know anything, or know who I am" she shakes her head, "I need you to relax, okay?"

Lacey starts to take deep breaths to regulate her shaky breaths, nodding a little bit as she moved her hand around to see if she could sit anywhere.

Becky lead her to a chair, sitting her down and kneeling beside her, "I need you to know that you're safe here with us, okay?"

"Okay.." Lacey squeezes her eyes closed as she gripped the arms of the chair.

"She won't hurt you, none of them will hurt you. We are going to fix everything, and you won't have to worry about anybody anymore. We're gonna get revenge for you"

Lacey started to cry a little bit, "sorry.. just please" she swallowed another breath, "please" she dropped her head, letting herself cry.

"We will, don't be sorry" Becky speaks softer, wrapping her arms around her in a closed hug.

Lacey squeezed her, "thank you" she whispered.

"Don't" Becky shakes her head, pulling back a few moments later, "don't you worry about a thing" she patted her arm, standing back up from her kneeling position.

"I'm gonna head out now" she checked her jacket to make sure she had any weapons in case she got into an altercation, "if you start to feel nervous or anything like that again, get someone, alright?" Becky said as she turned her head over to her.

"Yeah" Lacey spoke quietly, "I will.." she nods, looking away from her.

Becky raises a brow, "Lacey?" She batted her eyes, "look at me."

Lacey moved her head back up to her, "I promise" she spoke a little louder.

"Thank you" Becky nods, turning and walking out the room.
