Something about the situation at this whole compound didn't sit right with Lawrence. What was Jacques doing here in the first place? Why was a Red Cross debutante along for the ride? The Chinese refinery story fell flat on her astute tongue, like there should be more.
With a bit of a distraction going down with the Leonean troops, the locals, and a Legionnaire, Laurie found herself quite freed from spying eyes. She took advantage of the situation and shoved off from the car. A flutter of heartbeat and a lick of the lips, she loved this part of her work. As soon as she was out of earshot, she sent her intern a message, asking if he'd found anything interesting.
He had, and she was on her way.
She found him waiting on the back side of the building. A gaggle of little people were being herded toward a hole in the fence that seemed to dam back the encroaching jungle threatening to spill over its edge.
"What's going on?"
She asked quietly of him. It was apparent, but she wanted to hear it from him.
"Alright. Get back to the car, they were ordering us to get in the vehicles but I managed to slip away. Stay with the Legion and Danjou, and I'll send you messages as often as I have satellite signal."
To that end she snapped a picture of a little girl whose dress was snagged on a piece of the fence wire.
Before anyone could stop her, she was escaping right alongside the kids.
