[It's right about then that the sound of the door opening and then closing seems to be louder than it otherwise might be, signaling Chrissy's return. She can pick up on the tension as she walks into the room, and looks among everyone before the smile on her face slowly turns to a frown.]
Are you guys talking about me?
[It feels like they sent her away so they could do that. Which makes her a little uncomfortable, but not as wary as the fact she can tell Johnnie has something brewing within him. It's just waiting to explode.]
It won't hurt for you to hear it too, [Cruz looks to her, so serious that it makes her uncomfortable.] You two aren't from this time or this place. You try to do anything like free those people, you'll both end up regretting it. You may have already died, but other people can see you.
Yeah, man! [Diego chimes in.] And you're both clearly hurt, you got healing wounds and bruises all over you.
[Chrissy finds her way to Johnnie and her fingers brush against his before she takes hold of his hand. Maybe she can diffuse that imminent explosion just by being there.]
If they get their hands on either of you, there's no telling what they'd do once they realized they could torture you as much as they want. Anything to make an example.
[That scares her, how can it not scare her? But she feels so strongly about this subject that she has to interject.]
Okay, I'm really afraid of what they might do to us if they catch us. But I'm more afraid of not trying to do something. Cruz, you said they can't see you! Why can't we use that to our advantage and get a wagon full of people that you guys can get out of town tonight?
