MITCH didn't respond instead cocking his gun, "you ready?" she nodded her head signaling that she indeed was ready, he took a few steps forward checking to make sure she was following, together the two of them approached the door Mitch being the one to kick it open.

Sharif backed away from his position holding his hands up by his head in a conciliatory manner, "no, please." he begged leaning back into the bed to try and get away from the gun- as if it would make it harder to shoot him- "please, don't. Don't." he pleaded.

Margo watched Mitch hoping he kept his anger in check this time, "Mitch put the gun down, we need hi-"

She was cut off by the sound of Mitch firing his gun twice, the two bullets going right into Sharif's chest and ending any chance they had of getting the information they needed, she lowered her gun roughly shoving Mitch, "what the hell is wrong with you?"

He turned to look at her glaring all the while, "he didn't need to live, he's better off dead anyway." he mumbled going around the side of the bed and grabbing the laptop, "Hurley should've never let you in the program." she sighed rubbing her temples, "why? Cause I'm actually getting things done?"

Brushing past her with the laptop he made his way for the exit showing no sign of waiting for her as he did so, she let out an incoherent mumble beneath her breath trailing after the boy- she knew if she didn't he would find more ways to get himself in trouble- "we need to head back to the safe house, that's where the others will be."

Mitch glanced back at her no words coming to his lips. He rounded the corner Margo quickly following him as they approached the window once more.He glanced out through the glass towards the ground- he was trying to figure out how they were going to get down without being spotted, Margo gently pushed past him so she was standing directly in front of the window, "give me a hand."

Mitch stared at her for a few moments before she cupped her hands showing him what to do, "you put your hands together and I step into them." she stated, he set the laptop beside him and cupped his hands together waiting for Margo to step into them, when she did, he made sure he kept his hands linked as she used her hands to push her over the edge of the glass gently stepping onto the ledge outside the window.

She held out her hands waiting for Mitch to hand her the laptop so he could climb over without risking the laptop and the information it held, he held it out to her before using his arms to pull him up onto the edge of the window, taking a step back on the ledge just outside- making sure he had enough space when he stepped out with her- she clutched the laptop to her chest as her way of reassuring her that they were just doing their job.

She knew Hurley would be mad about Mitch disobeying orders and even more so the fact that he'd gone off his own accord and done what he thought necessary to accomplish a mission he'd hardly been told anything about.
