Chuck had the afternoon to himself. He wasn't working at the Buy More and, for the moment at least, there was no mission underway.

He found himself catching up on 'Call of Duty' since it felt like it had been ages since he played last. He almost felt guilty Morgan was still at work since he knew his buddy would so want to play if he was off too.

After shooting several enemies, Chuck heard a knock at the front door. He paused the game and got up to answer it.

Claire quickly glanced over her shoulder as though half expecting someone to jump out of the bush and try to grab her to drag her off to a cell somewhere. She quickly scanned the area for any kind of traffic cameras or any camera in general that could be used to track her movements.

She turned back to Chuck's door, lifting her head as she knocked and then waited for an answer. As she did so, she bit her lip and glanced around once more while clutching her purse a little closer to her side.

Maybe she should have worn something with a hood to cover her curls.

Chuck answered the door and smiled at first when he saw Claire. But then he noticed she seemed to look troubled.

"Hey," he began, sounding a bit concerned. "You all right?" He then opened the door a bit wider and motioned for Claire to come in.

"Hey." She flashed a weak smile before she tilted her head to the side, catching the immediate concern and she nodded even if she wasn't sure if she was all right or not.

"I'm..okay." She offered, her voice sounding as unsure as her as she slipped past him into his place and then turned to face him, "I'm sorry for dropping in out of the blue but...I just didn't really know where to go."

Chuck closed the door once Claire entered and then turned back to her. "I-it's okay." When Claire mentioned she didn't know where else to go, Chuck lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Claire bit her bottom lip a little bit as she looked at Chuck and then she sighed, "I think I'm being followed." She admitted, not telling him the whole truth right away but she figured it was a good way to lead into telling him what was going on.

"F-followed?" Chuck looked a bit nervous now in addition to his concern. "By who?"

[its-notluck.livejournal.com]

She pursed her lips a little bit before sighing softly, "Some special ops people."

"But...what would special ops people want with you?" He looked towards the window for a second and then back towards Claire. I wonder if they're still there. he thought to himself..

"I don't know." She hesitates as she glances at the window and then back at him, waving a hand, "Nevermind. It's nothing, I'm just..." She didn't know what to say. God, why did she even say that? It wasn't like he'd know anything about special ops or government people looking for people like her.

Chuck could tell Claire was hiding something but he wasn't sure what or why she felt she needed to keep this a secret from him. He took a breath and then offered, "Claire, whatever's wrong, you can tell me. M-maybe I can help."

"I...There are people disappearing, people being rounded up by this Hunter guy and his group. I don't know where they're taking them or what they have planned but I think they're after me." Even though they weren't supposed to be.

"B-but why? What does this Hunter guy have against you and the people he's rounding up?"
