It was good that his injury was not so bad. If it were bad, they would have to figure out how to finish all of what they wanted to do and get back without further harm. It would be difficult, but he was sure they could pull it off. He followed to the bedroom and grabbed the second suitcase. “Can do.” He started with the pictures first and then moved around the apartment to grab anything he thought looked well loved, in current use, or something that would be important. He repacked a couple of times to fit more things in as he could. He stole a couple of clothes here and there to pad the pictures and trinkets. “Alright, this is looking pretty good. You see anything else we might need?”

This military thing was already becoming frustrating. Hayden was not the biggest fan of militaries before everything happened, and now that it was everywhere, he was not sure how much he was still a fan. “I’m sure it will be fine. They can’t expect us not to do anything. Surely.” But he didn’t know. No one knew how this was working. It was still too new. If he did not have this cute little baby attached to him, he might have gone down those stairs and started asking questions. What were they going to do to him? Punish him? What could they possibly do to him to make this worse?

Josh was thankful that he did not have an bad injury. As he packed clothes, he noticed that Soren would take a couple here and there. He looked around and saw he took all the pictures, the important things. Oh. He walked over to the closet and under the shelf was a box of books. He pulled it out and brought it over. "Almost forgot these." He said, the box had all kinds of young adult novels. He tucked them into the suitcases, splitting them between the two of them. "Alright, that should be it." Josh said, zipping them up. "Should one of us take both and the other watches for anything bad?"

Jacob shook his head and sighed. "We can try, but maybe we should be careful. I don't trust them.." Jacob said, worry filtering in his bones. Sure he trusted Soren and Josh but.. he didn't trust the rest of FEDRA. There was something about them, between the bombing and the quick drop into Martial Law. "I just don't want to see you hurt." Jacob added, looking at his brother. He couldn't stop Hayden and he'd be right beside him the whole time, but that didn't mean he'd keep his opinions quiet.​

Soren smiled at the box of books. “Certainly can’t forget those. What would I read to him then?” This was a strange thing to ask, though it was perhaps not that strange. He knew plenty of people who liked to read. He was not sure how many people he knew who read to their partners though. He liked it. He thought that was a unique thing that they did. “That’s a good plan. Let me take them since your foot got injured. I know it’s not that bad, but these things are heavy.” He pushed aside the barricade for the door and then pulled at the suitcases. “You ready to go?”

Hayden frowned at that. He had hoped those fears were just him being irrationally upset by the ordeal. He was, after all, the one who kept seeing things that weren’t real. Yet, here was Jacob confirming that the trust was not something that they earned. “I don’t either. Which is why I have to try. If we don’t do something, we may end up just wasting away up here. They might even forget about us. I know Soren and Josh are trying for us, but they have to do what they are told too. So we have to do something.”
