Young nodded back and put his hands in his pockets again.
Shaw entered the hatch, having just heard about Root. "Go." She told Young flatly.
"I'm on w-" Young began.
"And I'm relieving you." Shaw interrupted. Young shrugged and left, and Shaw replaced him. "Hi Root."

Henry's screaming stopped briefly. "Hey Shaw." came Root's voice. She sounded winded and was breathing rather heavily.

"How's it going in there?" Shaw's voice was somehow both tense and relaxed.

"Jealous?" came Root's voice. "Don't worry, Sweetie. He's a terrible conversationalist, I don't think there'll be a second date."

"I hear Harold came by." Shaw went on, pushing forward stubbornly. "What'd he have to say?"

"About what you'd expect." said Root. There was a short silence. "Why are you here, Shaw?"

A moment of silence. "I'm supposed to be talking you out of this." She admitted finally. "Give you the big speech. But I can't do that because I get it."

"Glad to hear it." said Root. Another round of screaming came from Henry. On the other side of the room, Cas was once again working at his cuffs.

Shaw listened quietly for a minute. "So what are we going to do when this fails?" She asked bluntly.

Silence again. "What do you mean?" asked Root impatiently. On the other side of the room, Cas's hand inched closer to the pin that lay on the bedside table.

"Well, you know he's not talking, right?" Shaw went on. "I mean, if he was gonna spill his guts he'd have done it by now." Without looking at Cas, she walked over, snatched the pin, and dropped it carelessly out of reach, walking back to the door without breaking pace.

"I'll get him." said Root confidently. "He's good. I'm better."
Cas closed his eyes in disappointment, heaved a sigh and dropped his hand back onto his lap.

Shaw nodded, knowing this to be true. "I'll talk to Harold." She decided aloud. "See what I can do." She turned to go.

Root went back to her 'progress' on Henry.
"So did you hear?" said Camille, cornering Young on the beach. "Now we're keeping two prisoners downstairs. This is way, way out of hand."

Young stopped, turning slowly to face Camille with a tired expression. "What do you want me to say?" He asked, shaking his head slightly.

"Let me talk to them. Please." said Camille. "Before things escalate any further."

"I'm not stopping you." Young looked puzzled. "Mayfair should still be hanging around the hatch."

Camille stopped, looking surprised. "Really - just like that? No preaching about the greater good?"
|

|
Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 11, 2016 15:43:18 GMT -5
"I could preach till my mouth fell off, but it wouldn't do any good." Young answered bluntly. "Frankly I'm kind of tired of trying. Word of warning, though, only talk to Cas if you're ready to believe him."

"I'm ready to believe him if he's telling the truth." said Camille simply, turning and walking off towards the hatch.

Young just shook his head and took a drink of water, walking away. Great. Cas had made him feel more guilty than he liked to admit, and Camille going and saying something like that hadn't exactly helped.
Shaw was just returning to the hatch when Camille got there.

"Hi." said Camille calmly. "I'd like a word with the prisoners."

Shaw glanced up, hand on the door. "Prisoner." She corrected. "Unless you wanna knock yourself out chatting up an iron door." She opened it and went in, wasting no more time. There was something she needed to tell Root.

Camille followed her in and looked around, spotting Cas and the door where Henry was. Cas was ignoring everyone in the room, still staring at the wall.

"Hey." Shaw called, tossing Cas a mango. "I'd eat it if I were you." still ignoring Camille, she approached the door. "Root?"

The mango bounced off Cas and went rolling across the room. Cas stubbornly remained still, having grown tired of trying to reason with humans who weren't the Winchesters.
"Hello again." said Root, breathing heavily. "This 'Henry'...he's good for some guy from Minnesota."

Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 11, 2016 17:39:17 GMT -5
Shaw didn't notice the mango since her back was turned. "Hasn't cracked yet?" She asked. "Never mind, not why I'm here. I just talked to Harold."

"Great." said Root. "Guessing he didn't agree with you."

Post by ®Hawkpath® on Aug 11, 2016 18:24:36 GMT -5
"Not so much." Shaw agreed grimly. "He might as well be spouting dark nerd poetry." The ex-agent's tone became more serious. "He's not talking to anyone. When he found out I was on your side, he gave me the eyes, Root."

There was a short silence. "What do you mean by 'the eyes'?" she asked, tone deceptively light. "Because Grace might have an issue if he asked you out."
