whatheyvedone[It's been years since Naomi last saw this particular penitentiary. Or any penitentiary for that matter. Prisons had become a thing of her past when she had retired from the FBI. Still, there is something familiar in the air that never quite leaves her system - the old way of seeing things, and the old way of thinking. She feels more at home now, walking toward the barbed wire fencing, than she has in years of shopping along the LA streets, carrying bags of groceries, and winter clothes, or summer clothes.]
[She's still thinking as she walks - one step, and she's thinking of London, two and she's thinking of the areas surrounding it - especially Essex. Three, and she's thinking of poisons, delivery systems...]
[And she's counting her steps as she walks, waiting for Raye to ask her again if she's sure she wants to do this, and remind her that she's no longer an agent, and that England is outside their reach anyway. But there's a thought in her head, lodged hard, and she can't shake it lose. So she holds her packet of photographs under her arm and she walks on.]

...I'm always careful, Raye. That's how I lasted as long as I did.

[sighs and moves a very small step backward]
We'll definitely have dinner. Think about what you'll want to have.

Date: 2008-11-26 01:24 am (UTC)I'm sure we can think of something.
[smiles.]
Thank you again. I'll call as soon as I leave.

[smiles a little, then glances quickly at the penitentiary behind her a little bitterly, as if it was to blame for this whole thing]
Try not to spend too long in there. I don't want you getting any ideas.
[hesitates for a moment, then steps forward to give her a small kiss]
I'll see you later.

[smiles, even as she turns on her heel and heads inside.]
