Worry filled Sophie's eyes, but James reached out to touch her ankle. Sophie instinctively pulled her foot back. "What are you doing?"

"It's not necessary..."

"We don't have much time to rest. If the hitmen catch up with us, and I don't know your condition, we're both done for."

"I brought it myself."

"How did you know it would be needed?"
