Julia opened up the duffle bag she had taken out of the trunk when they had first gotten to the hotel. Now, as if she had never been gone, sure and swift motions, she took out two guns, locking, loading and primed before Nick even got to the highway. She looked over at him when she was finished, putting the safety on and set them back down on top of the duffle bag at the ready before slipping her hand over to Nick's and dialing the cellphone to reach Alex and Philip. She waited until her friend answered before giving her the details of what happened - except for Mitchell's personal attack against her - and listened as Alex relayed what had happened at the store and what, if anything, she had heard before her own line went dead with Derek. "Alex," she suggested as soon as her friend had finished reporting, playing a hunch "Call the store back and see if someone at the bakery saw anyone near Kat." Julia's hand tightened around Nick's at the mention of Kat's name, giving him the only support she could at the moment while she tried to track down the facts "...and give me a call back as soon as you find out." ==== Nick looked over worriedly as he got the feeling something was wrong.
