[b]Tina - Apartment - Abram's Group[/b]

She was running through the apartment one last time to make sure she had everything she needed for the trip. This was likely to be the last time she'd ever see the place. It was possible she would soon part ways with both Jace and Caleb forever, and the thought broke her heart. She'd come to love them both so much. They were the family she never lost. "I'm sorry," she muttered in the living room, her hand touching at the half-finished mural she'd been painting. Field and forests of colour stared back at her, though it was the side of the painting that caused Tina's heart to ache.

"Katie," she whispered, looking over the girl's crude drawings. Tina had wanted to paint the girl and her lost friends on the mural, but she'd never got around to finishing. Now, it seemed, it would never be finished. She stared at the painting for perhaps a bit too long. She knew the others were waiting for her, so she made haste to the storage room when she came to her senses.

Rushing about the small room, Tina grabbed what she could to stash it into her backpack. She worked like a tornado, her small frame having to stand on tiptoes to reach the highest shelves. She managed to lose her balance in her rush and knocked the box of medical supplies on tot he floor. It bounced off the wall and spilled open, causing Tina to swear. With a grumble, she started to put it all back in place, but something in the wall caught her attention. It seemed that the box had knocked a panel loose in the wall-- a panel Tina hadn't been aware of. Gingerly, she removed the panel, her eyes widening at what she saw. Tina swore once again.

Without a word to anybody, Tina moved up next to Abram's window and gestured to him that she was all ready. She then climbed into Turisa's vehicle containing Leah and Liam, thankful she didn't have to share space with Adam, who was with Abram to give him directions to Outpost. Turisa would be following Abram while they drove out of Baton Rouge. Tina just hoped none of Tremblay's men spotted them on the way out.
