Constance tried the phone in the office of the warehouse she and Kevin were hiding in while he was out getting supplies.  It was working!

Dialing a number she bit her lip hoping that he'd answer.  She didn't even know if he was using that safe house.

"Erik, I've run into a little trouble.  They're dead..." She sank to the floor the realization fully hitting after everything else that had happened in the past month.  "I escaped Hydra, have one of their projects with me.  We're in Alaska, ten miles south of Anchorage, I don't have chalk with me.  If they find us I'm useless in a fight.  They damaged the seal I use to activate the Alchemy."  She was watching the door from where she sat on the floor. Right now this was the best he'd get for her asking for help.

Kevin was still coughing when the Hydra agent found him. He didn't protest anything when he was pulled to his feet.

"Where's your target?"

The asset shook his head, still coughing, and pointed at the wall of water. "Threw... me," he choked out between coughs.

Erik wrapped an arm around Constance to help take her weight off her injured leg. "We don't have time to wait for him," he told her softly, "we need to get somewhere safe and quickly. You'll die if we don't. And I'm not doing well either." The shows her several bullet wounds in his side and back. "They knew I was following you...I don't know how or why but they knew."

Shivering she leans against him.

"They, knew I was one of your people. Kept asking when they questioned me." She couldn't move her fingers without too much difficulty. "Next town is a bit far, either direction, might be why they let the two of us ..." Her sluggish footing caused her to trip on a tree root, almost spilling her back to the ground.

"I'm sorry, this is my fault."
