November 24th, Chicago; Base.

Elek had went to sleep only few hours ago, so it took a bit for the knock to reach him full, but when it did, the man woke up with a start. By now, his sleeping pattern was so messed up he was always so tired and could be found sleeping whenever there was free time, which was far too rare. He hurried out of bed, quickly ran fingers trough his messy hair and attempted to smooth down his clothes, but then gave up on it and went to door. Even before he touched the door handler, Elek was sure he knew who was on the other side. Her presence was rather unmistakable.

"Oh, hello, come in," he opened doors wide to let the young woman in. "Sorry 'bout the mess," Elek added with awkward expression, it making him look younger than he was, despite the tiredness that had left its mark in his face. The room indeed was rather messy, various maps, pages with thick text all over it, covering most of surfaces and a lone mug standing among the paper piles.

Elek gathered some of the papers from chair and placed them on table. "Take a seat, please."

November 24th, Knoxville.

Ryan shifted slightly uncomfortably, when the girl stared at him like that. After this time spent directly caring for her, it felt much more awkward for some reason. He coughed softly to clear his throat and adjusted her blanket a little and then looked back at her face, putting hands in lap.
"Hello there, what's your name? I am Ryan."

"What a awkward first line for a kidnapper," the man thought and wondered when she would try to throw something at him, even if that would be just harsh words. Then again, it didn't seem she was really, truly taken care of back at that facility. So, maybe she wouldn't hate him for getting her out of there. But what would happen when he handed her over to his employer? Ryan put that thought aside.
