004: [visual] - Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay a while

Alexis stood outside the steps of the Sanctuary and for a moment she stared up at the building where they'd been stuck for three weeks, then down at her tablet. Her expression was confused, and there was slow growing worry in her eyes.

"Has anyone seen Kate Beckett? Or Dr. Reid?" she asked. Despite the fact that she was asking the question, there was quiet resignation in her voice, as if she already knew the answer. "I think they've both gone home."

She frowned and it was obvious she was debating whether she had anything more to say. Eventually, she bit her lip and asked, "Does anyone have a suggestion for a place to stay?" A pause, and she added quietly, "Somewhere with a threshold?"

"No, I think I can make it," she answered. It would even give Alexis a little time to explore the new city, even. "The map's helpful for things like that."

It took a little longer than Alexis had anticipated to make it to the Ranch, but only because she kept stopping to marvel at the rebuilt city. She approached with a little hesitance, calling out, "Hello? Kaylee?"

Kaylee nodded. “That it is.” It was one useful thing the aliens gave them, at least. A small perk in a world of Enjoy Your Forced Extended Stay. She gave Alexis another smile and changed her tablet over to the map as well before going about her business. Occasionally, she glanced over to check on the approaching dot that was Alexis.

The moment Alexis called out, Kaylee was at the door. “In here!” she called, waving Alexis to the door. “Come on in.”
