Alex just lets out a very shaky and shuddering breath at that, her eyes closing and opening for a moment. This isn’t what she had in mind when she started all of this. When it started to go sideways even she had never imagined that Richard would be a demon, that they would end up in the middle of nowhere France staring at a house filled with blood.
A house filled with blood that's definitely bait for the two of them. Because of course it was.
Peering into the house as if she could see who had Simon, Alex's hand still twitches against the door handle. She wants to open it. While Alex may not have much of a sense of self-preservation, she does have some and she knows that this is probably a terrible fucking idea. But more than that, Alex has empathy and Simon has been someone who'd she'd thought was... maybe not a friend but someone who was helping her out and who had her (and the world's) better interests at heart.
Which is why Alex just says: "we can't just leave him in there."
