Leela's assessment of the situation might have been slightly outlandish (though it was hard to forget the problem with the doors that had occurred his first night there) but the sentiment was right--if they stood around too long, they were targets.

Of course, if they continued on their search, they were still targets, but at least they'd be moving targets rather than stationary ones. He cast Leela a grateful look for that little doctoring of the truth as it pertained to their records search--what had happened to him was a little too much to be dumping on Faye all at once, especially given how uniquely suited she was to understanding its full implications. For now, he just wanted to make sure she was safe--not that Faye was the sort of woman who needed--or particularly wanted--protecting, but this wasn't home.

"I can answer any questions you have while we search," he offered. He owed her that much, anyway.
