Rana looked at her irritably. Sure, her methods were a little risque -- and ended up with hands where she'd rather not have them -- but they were effective. She'd gotten information, vouchers, snacks for herself along the way. She felt disgusting and would probably have a good cry later, but it was for the cause. "It's not like I do it for fun," she snapped.

Kris held her hands up in mock surrender, then softened her face. "I know, and I really admire the way you really devote all of yourself to this cause. I promise it'll all be worth it."

Rana stared at her for a moment. You're being oversensitive. You're mad at the bastards, not her. She took a deep breath then muttered, "Sorry... I'm just..." She rolled her shoulders. She felt icky all over.
She rubbed her face then circled back to what Kris said. "Sounds like you also got useful info though."

Kris turned to her, eyebrows drawn together in concern. "Hey, are you alright?" She stepped towards Rana and gently wrapped her in a hug. "It's over now," she whispered. "You're safe."

Rana tensed. She'd already had so many arms around her. But, Kris didn't want anything from her. And she didn't want anything from her. She relaxed, letting her head fall against Kris's shoulder as she murmured in her ear, "I hate them so fucking much."

"I know." Kris tightened her grip around Rana's shoulder. "But we'll take them down. I promise."

"Yeah." She took a deep breath and then pulled away with a nod. This wasn't safe. Not here. They had to get back to their base, then they could bitch about the senators all the way. "Let's get home."

"Agreed." Kris stepped out into the road and flagged down a circling limo. When the limo pulled up, she opened the door and climbed in, glancing back at Rana. Seeing Rana in so much pain was one of the hardest parts of the work she did.

Rana saw Kris glance back towards her and quickly looked away before their gazes could meet. She felt so awkward. It's not like she didn't know fully well what they were heading into. They both knew. This wasn't their first rodeo, and it certainly wouldn't be their last. She just needed to get over herself.
She climbed in the limo, forcing her shoulders to relax though she still didn't look over at Kris. "Does this one have snacks?"

The driver nodded and pointed to a cooler in the back. "Help yourself."
Kris opened the cooler and pulled out a tall can of seltzer. She cracked it open and took a long sip. "This is good stuff, man."

"Ew." Rana leaned past her and pulled out a can of coke, then leaned back, looking out the window. "What a night."
