[ Jesse nods, understanding the difference in what he means by the term. Alan uses it to mean the fictional little green or gray beings. Not the actual alien from another plane, dimension, whatever they want to call it.
His decision makes her pause. Her expression softens. Somehow, the idea that he'd truly want to live with her is one she is still trying to grasp. The fact he'd be willing to fully close the book on everything with Alice--everything before Bright Falls--and just simply accept walking into a new life with her... ]
Where do you--[ she's cut odd even as she takes his hand. ]
"Al! You better get down here!"
Come on. [ Jesse squeezes his hand and leads him down the stairs. Slowly, as she imagines his headache is roaring with the hangover.
She can see Barry at the window. The moment their feet touch the last step, Jesse freezes. Polaris shimmers around her. A click is heard. Something cool and metallic goes to Alan's head. ]
Hold it right there, James Joyce! This whole thing is your fault and you're going to pay for it!
[ Everything in Jesse's mind screams at her to run away. They found her, they've caught up, they're going to take her away. Lock her up. Try to take away Alan and Polaris. If she runs? They'll take Alan. Barry. But, everything screams at her to let go of his hand and bolt through the front door. Keep running.
Her hand doesn't let go of Alan's even as it begins to shake uncontrollably.
Her eyes dart to Barry, who puts his hands up with another gun to his head. The police department of Bright Falls. ]
