The computer room was lit up with computers going crazy and the pair sitting in the middle of it all. The printer was printing sheet after sheet of information, and they were trying to sort it all out. When Mike's head shot up, and he looked around. Lori was reading some of the paper in front of her when the motion of him startled her. She looked at him as he stood silently and placed his finger on his lip to make sure she was quiet.

He realized though he was beyond spent he couldn't fall asleep. He was listening to the sounds of her breathing, and he was thinking about the day to come.
