Nic quickly hid the anger away, becoming his typical emotionless self. He didn't respond to Laurel, remaining where he was.

"What's going on?" Laurel repeated, glancing at Nic and then at Wolfe.

Frei looked at Laurel, "We think it would be wise... for you to stay away from Nic. For now." Laurel blinked, very confused.

Wolfe looked at Laurel, "Come here, Laurel." Laurel took a step forward automatically before back up behind Nic, "Why?" she demanded.

Nic said nothing, letting Wolfe and Frei say whatever they wanted to say.

Laurel looked at Nic for an explanation before looking back at Wolfe.

Wolfe focused back on Nic, "Go for now," he stated, "We'll finish this discussion later." Laurel looked between them.

Nic didn't say anything as he slowly stood and started to walk out.

Laurel started to follow but was called back by Wolfe. This time she obeyed.

Nic turned around as Laurel was called back. But he kept walking out and stopped a little ways down the hallway across from Raven who was also waiting quietly.

After a long time, Snow emerged and looked around. She didn't seem surprised that Nic had stayed close. "Laurel will be steering clear of you until we settle this," she informed him, "After that, depending on the settlement, you might have a chance to explain to her what happened."

Raven glanced between Snow and Nic.

Nic didn't say anything, and he didn't move.

Snow turned as Rosen walked out, carrying Laurel with Frei keeping an eye on her from the side. Zala walked along behind them. Apparently, whatever they had told Laurel had been too overwhelming. None of them even looked at Raven and Nic as they walked off in the other direction. Snow started to walk off behind them. Only Wolfe and Tulip were left in the conference room.

Nic and Raven watched as Rosen carried Laurel. A little while after they had disappeared, Nic walked off in the opposite direction.

Raven watched Nic walk off before glancing in the conference room.

Suddenly Tulip burst out, looking really angry and irritated. Whatever Wolfe and her had been talking about hadn't been pleasant. She glared at Raven before storming off down the hallway leaving only Wolfe inside.

Raven jumped back a little to let Tulip out. After his heart rate had gone back to normal he glanced back in the room.

Wolfe was standing in one of the corners, smoking like an addict.

Raven sighed a little before braving the conference room.

Wolfe didn't notice his entrance, still smoking aggressively.
