If we keep her, we won't escape." Everett hesitated.

‘We getting caught now meant failure, but leaving Doretta...' Seeing his indecision, Doretta sat down, feigning defeat.

"Go on without me.

She wasn't actually exhausted; she was just stalling for their pursuers.

She had to keep up the act, though, to avoid suspicion and maintain her cover.
