Felix was not thrilled at being called off schedule all, he was worried that he had somehow, inadvertently managed to foul something up.
The phone vibrated in his pocket and he jerked in reaction, before reaching into his pocket and pulling it out, flipping the lid and getting an earful.
‘Scheiße...‘ he thought with an iritated twitch of his left eye “How rude, he hung up...“ Felix muttered to himself before looking about the room, and then to Laura he grinned, meekly and stretched his arms behind his head while interlocking his fingers together and standing up from his previously squatting position.
He closed his eyes to ponder just how to excuse himself without intriguing her, and giving him the potential to be away, indefinitely, while also avoiding any possible tail, and doing so quickly. ‘he could have at least given me the full address…’ Felix thought to himself while pondering if his new destination was within easy weakling distance.
Felix held the stretched pose for a second before easing out of it and stating “I… Might be heading home…” with a tang of worry and stress in his otherwise emotionless tone. “I’ll call the room if I’m not coming back…” he trailed off while taking a few pondering steps towards the door, and his backpack, before twirling around, grinningly, and chirping “But I hope I’ll be back soon!” happily.
Hastily he sprung backwards, landing beside his backpack, and the door, whipped around to his pack, unzipped one pocket pulled out a small role of bills(one of several), pout it down on the ground and then zipping out the door skippingly, ignoring any objection’s Laura may have given, with a faked grin, and towards the front desk with ‘a grin and wonder list’ he was was observant to everything around him, his eyes not lingering on anything that did not meet his gaze in anything but puzzlement; the among the only kind of person who would examine an apparent child, acting like an energetic child, with inquisitive eyes were surveillance who he would want to lose before implying were he wanted to go with anyone, much less heading there.
As he left the room’s door he rezipped the pocket and slung the pack around his shoulders.
Assuming he did not notice anyone fallowing him, Laura for example, he would ask the desk attendant were he could find the hotel in question and, if it was more than just a few blocks, if he could purchase a local map.
In any case, he would walk out of the lobby, with a small smile and gazing about in no particular direction while noting what faces were around him and were, such as the van that had no good reason to still be around except to be keeping tabs on some poor sap. ‘Ahhh… I’d hate to be the one that managed to get tracked by those armatures…’ Felix thought smugly to himself, while failing to note the connection.
He would walk a few aimless blocks and then look around to see if he saw someone who he had seen while exiting the hotel, and then making his way towards the hotel in question while noting, and renoting, who was behind him, and what they were doing in an attempt to avoid being tailed.
Assuming he got to the hotel without incident, and no one was there to meet him he would, rather meekly find a seat, sit down and dial the number that called him and say “Ich bin hier.“ Hesitantly. He did not exactly know what e was to do when he reached the destination.
