Abby woke with a jolt at the sound of someone pounding on the door and rolled out of bed, pulling a thick, fuzzy housecoat on over her pajamas to ward off the cold. She blinked the sleep out of her eyes, confused, and then her eyes went wide and she poked her head out into the living room, searching for Alex. He was nowhere to be seen, which was good, because even if the people at the door weren't looking for him, he was too recognizable to be seen in by a stranger.
The pounding on the door continued, and she heard an angry-sounding voice shouting something through the door. She pulled it open and blinked up at several men dressed in dark riot-looking uniforms, glowering down at her.
"We're looking for a missing man. A fugitive."
Abby's heart jumped into her throat. Oh god. The men from the Compound. They were looking for Alex. "Uh. I'm the only one here."
The man nodded and then, without another word, shoved her backwards, drawing an indignant cry from her.
"We will search this building," he informed her, a command rather than a question.
Abby straightened, flushing with anger. "Who the hell are you people? What gives you to right?"
The man grinned cruelly at her. "You are American. You should learn, you don't have rights here."
One of the other men called to the leader in Russian, and pointed at the stairs.
Abby's eyes went wide. "Hey! Wait! You can't go down there!"
Several of the men turned to look at her, and then immediately made for the basement - if she didn't want them down there, it was the most likely place to find him.
"HEY!" She followed them down the stairs to find a few of them standing inside the server room where the weather data was collected. Another group had gathered around the door to the culture lab, peering inside. The whole room was sealed with glass panes, and the door had sealed closed. Abby knew Alex was hidden in there, somewhere. There was a rotating red light in the center of the lab, and one of the men knocked on the door.
"You can't go in, there's live, dangerous cultures in there, exposed. It's too dangerous," she lied smoothly, surprised at how matter-of-fact she sounded. She wasn't a biologist, so the lab wasn't in use with her up here. Sometimes, NASA used the culture lab to build experiments concerning extreme natural cold, and when there was a dangerous experiment going on, the entire room is seal to prevent the whole Cottage from being exposed.
The men glowered at Abby. "We'll wait until it's finished."
Abby rolled her eyes. "It'll be at least another 24 hours. And if you'e fugitive is in there, he's probably already dead. That room is full of a particularly virulent culture"
Some of the men held another conversation in Russian, and the leader made a face. "Fine. Search the rest of the building."
The men headed back upstairs and Abby had to watch as they tore apart the living space - flipping the mattress, tossing all her clothes, emptying the cupboards in the kitchen. Half of the things they did couldn't possibly have been an attempt to actually find Alex. Have of the spaces they searched couldn't have held a child, much less a full-grown man. She got the sense they were doing this on purpose, as punishment for her preventing them from going into the lab.
An hour later, the entire living space was a disaster, but the men were leaving. Abby went to the window to watch the helicopter lift off, and then fly away until they disappeared over the horizon. Then, she hurried downstairs and knocked on the lab door. "Alex? Alex, it's me. It's safe to come out, now."
The pounding on the door continued, and she heard an angry-sounding voice shouting something through the door. She pulled it open and blinked up at several men dressed in dark riot-looking uniforms, glowering down at her.
