John nods, then says, "Think about it again tomorrow. For now..."
He stands from the table and picks up the file, then goes to the closet across the hall from the kitchen. At the bottom is a small metal safe, not exactly hidden, but difficult to see behind their shoes and coats. John crouches and pushes the coats aside, then presses the ten digit code into the electronic panel on the front and spins the combination to get inside. He doesn't keep weapons in here, they would be too easily found, but there are several fake ID cards, as well as the mask he wears when he goes out on his own. Shifting these aside, he puts the file on the bottom, then looks back at Karen.
"It's safe for now. You can decide what to do with it." He closes the safe, then spins the combination lock and listens for the beep at the electronic lock slides home as well. It's a safe he'd given the codes Karen to a long time ago, something she has complete access to whenever she wants.
When he stands, he just holds his hand out toward her. This awful night can have its end now, he thinks. Tomorrow will be something else, a different task, but she's exhausted and hurting, and he can't take that away, but he can at least help the night finish.
