[It didn't take a genius to figure out that Lover Boy was gone. After all, she peeked into the bakery almost once a day. If he was in there, she went on by. If he was out or away from the front, she'd slip in for one of the cinnamon-breaded things and be gone before he ever came. So when he wasn't there at any hour of the day, she noticed.
And today, she didn't even bother to check. She just walked in.
...Straight into the chaos.
It looked to her like some animal had gotten into... well... everything.
But she's there just in time to hear the question that's not meant to be heard, and it makes her stop in her attempt to take something to eat then scurry off before District Twelve can notice her. It makes her think of her conversation with... "the Judge." Talking about what they were, what they'd been trained to do.
They'd talked about the missions.
Her voice is low, and she keeps by the door. She won't get too close, and she's ready to bolt if Twelve is armed and shows it. She has her knives, but they're all in their sheathes.]

Better than doing nothing. For some.
