Flashlight still illuminating the attic entrance, Judith didn't even turn to greet her partner. "I already know."came her distracted reply. Setting her bag down, Judith jumped, fingers finding only a modicum of purchase against the panel as she tried to move it. Undaunted, she tried again, this time with the flashlight as extension. The lip surrounding the bulb made contact. Though muted against the softer drywall, the sound seemed to echo in Judith's ears. Flecks of dust and debris sifted down through the slit her efforts made. They spangled her face and hair, but Judith could only focus on the ink-black sliver of attic.
Without even glancing in askance, Judith told Callie to move the panel. "We're going to stay in the attic for the night." she stated more than explained. "These fucks won't know and once we get an opening we can rob 'em blind and bolt." It was a plan with only a thin veil of safety. The rewards were minuscule in comparison to the risk of detection, but all Judith could think of was getting some sleep. The gun tucked into her waist was all the security she needed in that moment.
