[ oh, please. it ain't like she's never seen him in boxers before. That whole stint in the apartment living together? yeah, she probably saw it then. ]
Right. Super secret knock coming up in ten then.
[ and he cuts the line and starts jogging (god, he could kill for a car) towards Jo's apartment. Once there, he knocks. ]
[Look, just because she let him use her room while he was sleeping on the couch doesn't mean she was watching. And if she had, she's still going to be polite.
She'd been watching out an upstairs window and when he knocks she heads down the stairs, gun in the hand hidden behind the door when she opens it. Just in case.]
[ he raised an eyebrow ] You really think I'd let myself get followed? [ of course, the other question is whether or not people actually don't know where everyone else lives by this point. It's a pretty small community ]
What's wrong?
[ because he's really starting to get concerned. ]
[ he goes stock still for a full second before taking the steps a little faster. ]
Ellie you said? Any idea who did it?
[ he had met her, briefly, after the paintball incident. The girl had been tickled pink to get a real gun and the ammo to use it. It actually almost been cute if not for the context. ]
[ he was making her nervous? How about the corpse on the bed? But he sits, hands on his knees and leaning forward, gaze intent on Jo. ]
So why was she looking for help then?
[ please don't tell him it was because she couldn't get the lid off of a pickle jar. That would be the worst reason to die he's heard in a long time. ]

I dunno. I found her, she was... Just trying to get somewhere for help.

What kind of help? If she knew she was being chased then she should've called someone.
[ Anyone. There were like a million pro-god supporters all over the network. someone could've stepped in and helped. ]

Sit down, you're making me nervous.

Who goes after a kid? If I ever find out who it was I'm going to hurt them.
