Oh god.

Steve thanked the girl with a nodding head, thankful for all of her effort to help him and because she had been terribly sweet herself making Buck out to be a hero. It didn't stop Steve from worrying.

Security came for him a few minutes later and he craned his head up to look between the two tall woman in severe buns before they took him to the quiet, cool backstaging area of the mall. The gray painted cement led to a gray metal door where Bucky was relaxing.

One guard knocked lightly before she pushed the door completely open. "Sir? Your friend is here."

Steve dropped the bags and went immediately to Bucky. He felt so bad. So bad to have let this happen.
