Nill's caution and mistrust is well-placed, but he's also reasonable certain she won't try anything on him. And if they're playing up to the cameras...well, he could do worse than appearing to protect a tiny, defenseless little girl with angel wings. He'd just have to keep an eye out for anyone else they happened to cross along the way. Mouth thinning grimly, he motioned for her to follow before turning, pressing back in the direction he'd come.
He'd go first, knowing she wasn't going to leave her back open to him. Let her keep an eye on what lay in the other direction. Carefully stepping around a patch of exposed wiring sticking up through the floors, Rumlow starts for the door.
And then pauses when he hears skittering, too faint to tell which direction it had come from.
