Before heading to the lab, Delilah stopped by her room to grab crowbars to pry open the sealed door and give one to him. They didn't speak, moving with quiet efficiency.
She also picked up something else, something he couldn't see clearly, but it looked like a card.
Access card?
Gideon tried to relax, but Delilah was visibly tense. It made him want to ease the atmosphere, to say something just to break it, but then he remembered he was still irritated with her.
So he stayed quiet.
They didn't speak again until they reached the sealed door.
"Let me do it," he said, noticing they both had crowbars in hand.
"It's fine. Let's just do it quickly and destroy it. The longer I stay here, the more dangerous it becomes."
She let out a quiet sigh. "If they really want what's inside, they'll come back."
Gideon nodded.
But from her expression, he could tell that wasn't the only reason. There was something else mixed in there. Something heavier, it was sadness.
