Nora looked back at the shield then to Nicolas.  What other choice did she have then to go along?  Since the shield was no use to them, she would have to snipe from a distance so he could have a better chance at getting out of the job alive.  Sighing, she looked up at him and tried to think of a way to get him out of taking the job - but she couldn't think of anything.<br/><br/>"I'm not going to get you to back out of it am I?"  There was always the need for him to be the hero of every situation. Although that was one of the qualities she loved about him, it was also the most frustrating.  "You know I love you, more than I've ever thought I could love anyone, but there has to be an end somewhere, Nick.  I want to stop the job and escape to some paradise, but not at the expense of losing you.  If you promise me, that this is the last job for a couple months, then I'll go with you."<br/><br/>The sound of the club above them boomed dull and stagnant in her mind as Nora tried her hardest to push away the fear she felt swelling inside her. If only she didn't love him.  If only she could push aside her feelings.  Things would be so much easier for her tender heart that she wished she didn't have the burden of bearing. Laughing softly and shaking her head, she gave his hand a light squeeze before releasing a sigh of defeat.  "Too bad I'm not like my brother.  I'd be able to send you off without a worry and continue on with my life if something happened to you."
