Maura had an idea, and she clued them in.
“We’re going to follow them when they leave the building. Eve, you follow if they go out the back, and Jagger and I will follow if they come out the front,” Maura said.
“Copy,” Eve answered.
The other two were silent, and they knew why.
The boss continued.
“If we have to leave you, borrow a ride, and we’ll give you coordinates.”
Still, they said nothing.
The two men were moving around in the living room.
“Did you close the back door?” the British one asked the other.

They kept walking, and they were unable to hear them as they went out the back door.
“Did you get all of that?” Zayn asked. “They think the crypto key is with someone who escaped into the woods. A doctor. Wasn’t that what Calyx said?”
