Inwardly, she flinched when Ellie's mom entered in hearing distance, but she didn't let it show. Or hoped she didn't, eyes trained on the screen. Over the years, she had gathered a collection of programs that some she had adjusted herself that aided in their search and although most of them weren't on Elaine's laptop, she was already compiling list of sites and images that could come in handy. There were some possibly suspicious places around the workshop, but if she was critical (and she was), they were all in positions where it'd be hard to deliver tractors without anyone noticing anything odd, or they had other flaws, such as size.

But when the woman shrieked about cancelled classes and mysterious mist, Sarah's mouth fell open in 'o' and stayed so for a moment, until she realized her expression and hurriedly closed it. One glance at Alex told her they were on the same thought path. It really was an excellent cover for whisking away large machinery and for all they knew, said villa could be involved, too (hiding in plain sight theory could not be excluded). Besides, they had seen so many secret passageways and hidden rooms, the girl nearly expected one to pop up in any case they worked on.

Hurriedly, she saved her work and copied it in her USB. While the data transferred, she used her chance to actual drink some of that delicious lemonade and grab a snack. Sarah thought that all food in Windsor house tasted heavenly, although in all honesty she preferred simpler home cooked meals, like the ones Allan's mother would provide. Perhaps it was emotional, more than taste-bud preference. Luxury was stunning, but she loved homily feel more.

She glanced at their unofficial leader, already hearing his team set up in mind before he said it out loud. It was a kind of routine, really, but not one that she minded. She only wondered if Alexander had any awareness of how much this familiar pairing affected or gladdened some of them... Or rather, one redhead in particular. Sarah guessed that he didn't. Well, that aside, she herself felt very content about working side by side with Allan. She appreciated that he was calm in most situations and that he'd have her back if needed. His technical know-how wasn't to be slighted either and he was generally quite smart. While she liked working with anyone from their group, with some she felt more comfortable.

By now, she had all files on her usb that she pocketed and she turned the laptop off, placing it carefully on the table and picked up the recorder. She was ready to go, when others were. Riding bike through already darkening streets would be a lot more unpleasant prospect if she would have to do it alone. "Good luck all," Sarah said softly with encouraging smile. She would have said that they'd surely return with some leads, but it was better not to jinx these things and you could never know for sure until you actually had some proof.
