Jacob had a few plans of his own.
And none of them included safely evacuating the building.
Keep expressionless, he had to remind himself as they ventured further into the winding hallways of the building.
"How big is this thing?" He asked after fifteen minutes of endless twists and turns. If it had been anyone but Roxy, he would have been sure they were lost.
"Big enough," Roxy said helpfully, not even turning to look back at him.
"Thanks," He snorted.
"It goes about a hundred feet underground."
He stopped.
"Underground?"
"Yes. What- don't tell me the big bad wolf is claustrophobic."
He frowned at her back, brow furrowed.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you," She sniggered, and he knew she was rolling her eyes.
He shrugged, unperturbed.
"So pleasant, Roxy."
"Naturally."
They walked in silence.
She stopped suddenly, and he almost ran into her back.
"This would be a lot faster if we ran." She murmured.
He gasped sarcastically. "You're going to let me break the rules, really?" He asked in a fakely cheery voice.
"Oh shut up," She growled, before facing him, her gold eyes suddenly vaguely amused. "Besides, we're not breaking any rules."
He raised his eyebrows quizzically.
She shook her head. "There's no way I'm going to let you communicate by going to wolf form- I'm going to carry you."
He snorted. "Ha, funny."
There was no joke in her eyes when he looked back up at her. A sudden breeze tugged her overwhelming smell even deeper into her nose. It was so repulsive he nearly gagged. She watched him coolly.
"Oh, there's no way." He informed her, eyes narrowed.
Roxy smiled.
