It was a difficult decision to make, choosing between leaving Cissie there and taking her along, one which was potentially disastrous either way. Still, Claire felt that the only way that she could go out without reservations was if she didn't have too many people lingering by her side. It was more a weakness on her part than anyone else's, Claire was willing to admit that. But she just didn't want Cissie to know what she could do, what she was capable of, the things that made her a freak and a monstrosity.

"Yeah, keep an eye on the fort, and..." Claire grabbed Cissie's wrist and pulled her over to the nearest pay phone, grabbing for the pen which hung from the phone from a thin chain, and writing a number down in the other blonde's palm. "And call this number if anything happens, okay? It's my phone number. I've got my Sidekick on me."
