[Jaqueline does as she's told, snapping the picture and sending it to her mother. As she passes Max's phone back to him, David opens the door to the trailer in front of them with a nod.]
[And with that, he'll take the twins back into headquarters, and Rusty will handle clean up. He'll obscure Lucas' presence just enough to show that a hunter was there but not who. He'll make sure he wasn't seen on any of the cameras, and he'll be gone before Hernandez's "husband" is even informed.
And with that, he'll text Ezra to let him know that they're in the clear.]
( Ezra plays getaway driver, the group having scrubbed the scene and checked out of the hotel earlier in the day, directing the car back to the airport.
His phone sits in the cup holder between him and Lucas.
He checks his rearview to merge back onto the highway. )
We'll book tickets back in person. Do you mind checking that message?
We're working on it. I'll let you know when I have more details.
[He's not sure about anything more than that, but he's still working through a lot. He'll get better. He'll figure it out. He just has to get his life back.]
( He lets him drift off, contemplating calling Elena. Or his husband. But, instead, he listens to the radio and drives them to salvation and the next step. )

Take a picture, I'll be right back.
( Moving over to the assistant, he drops down and makes eye contact. A hand to his shoulder, he smiles, calming the man as he speaks. )
Shh. It's okay. You didn't see us, you found her alone. You don't know who called the cops.
( Finding the camera on one of the trailers, he waves a hand before rejoining his sister to await David and his door. )
no subject
Your chariot awaits.
no subject
( He lets his sister step in first, knowing they'll be cut off from the next moves. But, this keeps their hands clean. )
Hope you have this, Rusty.

It's your husband. Everyone's clear, they're heading back to base.
[Which Lucas does not want to know where that is, so hopefully they're not heading there.]
no subject
( He'd have given something to keep Lucas outside as well, but Hernandez made that impossible. )
Do you have any objections to going back to Lawrence?
no subject
Probably makes the most sense until I figure out what my family's doing next.
no subject
( Lucas' burner comes to life, vibrating, screen illuminating MOM )
no subject
Hey, Mom.
[The anxiety and tension still hasn't ebbed away yet, but it probably won't until he's safely out of Mexico.]
no subject
( she's not going to ask, she's not going to ask, she's not going to ask )
no subject
[She won't ask, but he'll tell her.]
We're on our way back.
no subject
( She looks to Michael sitting across from her, taking his hand with her free one. )
Are you okay?
no subject
[No, he's not. Not emotionally. He doesn't like it when the line is blurred between hunter and assassin. But he's alive. He's free.]
... I'm not hurt.
no subject
( She speaks volumes. )
no subject
[He's not sure about anything more than that, but he's still working through a lot. He'll get better. He'll figure it out. He just has to get his life back.]
no subject
( he knows they love him, so she doesn't say it. he knows. and they're here for him when he needs them. come back. )
no subject
[He doesn't know if he'll be much better. He kind of wants to get really drunk. But that can be when he gets back to the bunker.]
Are the Gilberts okay?
no subject
( But because of her son, they can. )
no subject
I'll see you tomorrow, probably. If not, day after. Depends when the flight is.
no subject
( Or, maybe if he has any kind of greatest hits wants, not that his mother or father were really... cooks. That was definitely a grandparent thing. )
no subject
[And with that, he'll hang up and lean back in the passenger's seat.]
How long to the airport?
no subject
( But, it's a straight shot. He turns on the radio as he drives past smaller houses, going in the direction of one of the main highways. )
no subject
Wake me up when we're fifteen minutes out?
no subject
( He lets him drift off, contemplating calling Elena. Or his husband. But, instead, he listens to the radio and drives them to salvation and the next step. )
