Alice was stooped over the files, a hunched figure with her back to him as she gathering up the papers. When Tom continued to speak, she froze for a moment. Again, she found herself a loss of words and emotions that she wished she could feel, but couldn't. It was the sound of Tom shuffling through things, picking up objects himself that broke her stillness.<br/><br/>"You shouldn't blame yourself." she mumbled, though she wondered if he heard her.<br/><br/>They carried on until Tom mentioned something about J2AK.<br/><br/>"WHAT?!" Alice snapped, her head jolting to him. She twisted around and stormed over to him, tossing the huge pile of files in her arms onto the desk with a loud THUMP! She then snatched the paper out of his hands and there was a tense moment as she read through the paper, her eyes shifting at an unusual reading speed.<br/><br/>"This is unreal...." she mumbled as she leaned against the desk. "I wonder who gave out this order and what they were trying to achieve..."<br/><br/>After a moment, Alice shook her head and handed the paper back. "Put it away and speak not of it for now. We are too public to converse freely. How are we getting to the establishment? I have a friend in the Air Force who flies helicopters."<br/>
