More then an hour had passed and Lainey strolled towards their room. She unlocked it and walked in.

Mitch heard the sound of the key in the door and bounced up from the chair. He stood up and waited for Lainey to walk in. He could feel his blood starting to bubble as the door opened, it had been at least 3 hours and he had no way of contacting her, she of course left her phone to charge.

Lainey Walked in and noticed Mitch standing staring at her and if looks could kill she'd be dead in a second "hey" she smiled

Mitches eyes widened and he felt rage take over him "hey?" He questioned "hey!" He yelled

She shook her head "no it's..." "hey" she smiled "that's how you say it"

Mitch was completely lost for words. She seemed to have no cares about what was happening.  "You've been gone for 3 hours!" He fumed

"I lost track of time. I forgot my phone" she shrugged

"And you couldn't find one clock?" He asked

"Nope" she shook her head. "I got food, you want some?" She asked

. She pulled the containers out of a white plastic bag and put them on the small table in their room. "Oh and.." she smiled and pulled out a bottle of wine "alcohol" she showed off the bottle.

"I didn't know if you drank, or what you drank. So I just got 2 cans of some beer stuff" she told him

He looked at her with narrow eyes, if steam could be produced by anger, they'd be locked in a sauna "Lainey" he exhaled trying to keep as calm as possible

She turned and looked at him "yeah"

"What.. the fuck! you do understand what's going on here right, I mean you understand that this isn't some road trip?"

"Well duh" she nodded

"Lainey this is my job!" Mitch yelled "you are my job, I have to get you to the safe house.. ALIVE.. so locking me in here and running  around some town isn't gonna help that"

"Would you relax" she rolled her eyes

"Lainey, your husband is ALIVE okay and he's dangerous. Someone already found us, anyone else could. So please tell me where in your chaotic mind did you think it was okay to just wonder around?"

He sighed "god do you even have any idea how serious this is?" He asked

"Of course I do!" Lainey yelled

Lainey tried to stay calm. She tried to go out and live some of a life whilst she could. She came back here trying to be calm, but as Mitch yelled at her about how real all of this was. She slowly lost it "you don't think I don't know that my dead husband is dangerous, you don't think I think about it every second of the day?" She asked
"I know what's going on, I know I've killed someone, I know my husband has been alive for the past 2 years whilst I cry myself to sleep. I know he was alive when I swallowed every pill that I could. I know he was alive when I was in a psych ward for 3 days being monitored around the clock incase I tried
To kill myself. I know whilst he's been alive I've been slowly dying on the inside" she ranted.

By now a few tears had fallen and everything she was trying to stay calm about came flooding out.

She chuckled lightly and opened the wine "so let's drink to that" she took a swig of the red wine and sighed happily as it went down

Mitch watched cautiously as Lainey drank from the bottle. He wasn't expecting what had just happened, he was expecting her to yell and scream, or even to just brush it off like it did her matter. But instead she told Him everything she was avoiding "maybe that's not the best thing" he suggested about the wine

She scoffed "don't act like you care Mitch. You said it already "I'm your job"" she mocked

"Lainey I think-.."

"You think what?" She asked "what on earth could
You possibly think. What you think you know what's best for me. You think you know what to do?" She asked.

He sighed "you aren't the only person with problems"

"Yeah well I'm the only person with mine!" She shouted "what would you know anyway" she sighed shaking her head

"A lot more then you think" he shook his head.

"Oh please enlighten me on how you could possibly know what I'm doing through?" She asked "did your husband die and come back from the dead like some supernatural tv show?" She asked "did your husband pretend he was killed by some terrorist?" She asked

"No, she actually was" he whispered.

Lainey looked up "what?" She asked

"Nothing" he shook it off

"Alright" she nodded. "Well, you can do whatever you want but I plan on finishing this wine and thinking about the fact that there is a woman in her car right now who looks like she overdosed" Lainey explained

"I'm gonna go get some air" Mitch sighed

"Oh so you can get some air but I can't?" She asked

"You are the reason I'm getting air" he told her. He grabbed the key and walked out. He locked it and walked to the elevator

Lainey sat in the room and alone and continue to drink her wine. "Noah, what have you done" she began to cry "what on earth have you done"

Mitch walked out of the b&b and let the air hit against his face. He sighed and pulled out his wallet with the picture of Katherine in it, he grazed his thumb across her face and sighed "I miss you" he whispered
