He moved Julia back away from him gently, leaning the sword against the
wall, he began to search his pockets until he came out with a lock pick. He
set to work trying to free her.
"I'm afraid, I'm not as adept at this as Nick," he admitted as he struggled
to turn the small lock binding her hands. Finally, however there was a
small click and he was able to free her allowing the cuffs to fall to the
ground. He turned and point the way he had come handing her the sword.
"Get out of here," he commanded.
She hesitated only a moment. She didn't want to leave his side but she also
knew that, right now, he would be distracted with keeping her safe if she
went with them and that in itself could be detrimental. So she reached
forward and kissed him roughly, gaze worried but trusting him to do exactly
what she said "I'll see you soon. We have a date, remember?"
She kissed him one more time and then stepped back, looking at him for a
long moment before turning to head back the way she had been taken in.
