So in the morning she tells Matt about what she did. (That she went back to her apartment. That there was someone waiting there for her to reveal where she hid the thumb drive. That she got away. Not that she had to bash his skull in or that she got caught with the knife. And, most importantly, that she has no idea what to do next.)
Matt gives her a long look and she wonders what his eyes look like behind those tinted lenses. The rest of his face looks no different from all the other times she’s seen him, except that his mouth is a thin line. Still… it’s a look. He works his jaw before finally saying, “That was very dangerous.”
“I can take care of myself.”
“You shouldn’t have to.”
“I know. Are you hurt?”
“No… not badly, at least.” Karen doesn’t like lying to him.
He rubs his temples, takes a few steps back like he’s about to pace and then says, “We go public.”
“What?”
“We go public with the information you have. Get it posted in the news papers.”

They go public.
And Karen doesn’t go back home.
