"You look nice in the uniform, Gov," Kevin is saying. He still has his hand in his pocket - he doesn't even know why, he just feels like hs should keep some offering of contact, some acknowledgement he hasn't forgotten his companion. He keeps his palm turned up, hand open, just there.
"Ha-de-ha. You scared the life out of us, do you know that? Do you know where that was?"
Kevin shakes his head. "Yes, Jim. I know. There's been some complications, I'll explain in the debrief. Did you make the preparations?"
"Followed your instructions to the letter, yes. No one is getting in or out of that place by any means mundane or magical."
"Good," Kevin says. As the journey goes on, he realises just how spent he is, and stops talking for a while, until they finally pull up at a police station - Quil takes the backpack and Kevin is shown out, through the station, and then right out into the back parking lot where he gets into the driver's seat of a nice new Ford Focus, and puts his hand back in his pocket.
"I'm going to put you on the passenger seat," he says, finally addressing Xie. "I'll let you know when we're out of sight."
