[ Mercy is very careful to be quiet, but she can't help the little upset noise she lets out when the door opens. To make up for it, she bites her lip again and throws her arms around Alfie's shoulders, hugging him tightly and hiding her face. Royce climbs into the car a second later, and after listening to the road for a couple of moments, shuts the door.
Mercy is safe, Alfie is safe, and that's all that Royce cares about. He sinks down into the backseat and rubs at his face, watching the two of them with a stressed, worried expression he's not aware he's wearing. ]
