The Steep Cost of Business | Closed

Nikki leaned into him closing her eyes. The panic welled in her throat and she turned into him hiding her face for a moment. "Well we should go to the bank and I should try to pull out everything that I can. Hopefully we have enough to buy a car. We need to get out of town."

Harry nodded softly and looked at her, "we will be okay," he said softly. He took he hand, "come on lets get out of here," he said softly. He was excited to be leaving with her, anything would be better than staying at the agency.

Nikki looked around her apartment. This was it. They had stalled enough but there was no other reason to stay and risk getting caught. "Okay." she said and bit her lip. "Let me grab my purse." she said knowing the bank was going to be the most dangerous for them to get caught at. If the agency found out before they where done there and out of state then they would end up back in the agency.

Harry nodded, "sounds good my love," he said softly. He kissed her cheek, and watched as she went to grab her purse. He was so anxious and scared, if they got caught this would be the end of him.

Nikki grabbed her purse and then came back into the room and grabbed her bag. She reached her hand out for his. "Together." she said softly.

Harry nodded gently taking her hand. He walked with her out of the apartment. He held her close as they made their way towards the bank. He looked at her, "we will be okay," he said softly.

Nikki walked up to the bank and stopped. "Here take our bags and wait for me over there." she said and kissed his cheek. She knew how it would look to ask for a large sum of money with her bags packed and a strange man beside her. It was going to be bad enough her makeup didn't quiet cover what Charles had done to her.

Harry nodded softly and took her bags for her, "I'll be right here," he said softly. He moved over to a seat and sat down, he looked so out of place here, in the street. He hoped he wouldn't be spotted and questioned.

Nikki spent the next half hour talking with the bank and confirming identity as she closed out the bank account in cash. By the time she was finished her heard was hammering so fast. She walked out of the bank looking for Harry with panic. She had been in there so long.

Harry was sitting on the bench, so worried and alert. He rushed over as he saw her come out of the bank, "lets keep moving," he said softly and he moved beside her.

Nikki nodded and moved with him. She didn't know what to do next. Do they get on a bus? Do they try and go buy a car now? She felt like a deer in headlights.

Harry smiled softly, "lets go and catch a bus or a train, get a car at the next stop," he said softly. If they got one here, the agency would be on their tail too easily.

Nikki nodded. "A train. We'll get off along the way." she said starting to feel more settled with some kind of a plan. Harry took care of her.

Harry took her hand and led her off toward the train station. He kissed her cheek, "I want you so bad, I love you," he said softly. He moved and kissed her neck, his hands sliding down her back slowly.

As they stood in line to buy a ticket she felt his hands as he moved closer to her. Nikki hummed blushing. "Save it just a little longer love." She told him knowing she needed him just as much. She was pint up so tight.

Harry nodded softly and held her close, he was scared, and anxious. He smiled politely as they bought their tickets, and headed towards the platform.

Nikki walked with Harry holding his free hand. She stood next to him as they waited for the train. She looked up at him. It was obvious to her that he was struggling and he needed her connection to help him recenter and she felt the same but they needed to be on the train first. She couldn't relax enough until then. Her eyes darted around looking for any signs that the agency was after them.

Harry kept looking behind himself, and at all the commuters. He pulled her closer, and put his arm around her shoulders. When the train arrived, he quickly helped her onboard, moving down the aisle to find a nice secluded seat for them.

Nikki was relieved when the train arrived. She knew she wouldn't relax until it took off though. She moved onto the train with Harry and into a seat as he directed. She sat next to the window and turned to look at him. "Last chance to change your mind." she said. She had meant to joke as she said it but it didn't seem to come out that way. She snuggled into his chest with a frown knowing either of them would change their mind now.

Harry shook his head and pulled her close. He rested his head on hers, as the train slowly began to start up and roll out of the station. He relaxed, and held her, "We are free of them, we can be ourselves," he said softly.
