"Nothing like putting me on the spot." She teased him as she slipped past, heading to the door of the apartment they needed to get into. She didn't have any nifty powers to get them inside since she wasn't good enough with the telekinesis to unlock the door. She would just blast the door open and that would call too much attention to them right away.
Luckily, she had a way in of sorts since she had spent enough time scouting the place and watching the going-ons of the building. That's why she knew there was a young woman upstairs, close to the guy's age and her own age, that would give her a sort of cover story though she really didn't need it.
Knocking on the door, she waited as she listened for the tell-tale shuffle of someone's feet approaching. Fixing a warm smile on her face, she tilted her head to the side as she counted off the beats, knowing that the guy would look at her through the peek-hole before opening the door. When he did, she found herself facing a slender young man who was probably only a couple years older than her. "Yes?"
"Hey." She tucked some hair back from her face. "I'm Sandy, I'm staying with Carole upstairs?" She watched the flash of recognition as he relaxed a bit, as most people did when given something familiar. "I locked myself out of her apartment and she's at work. I'd call her but I left my cellphone inside, of course." She rolled her eyes at herself while he chuckled in understanding. "Can I use your phone?"
The man hesitated only a second or two before he stepped back, nodding. "Sure, I'll grab it for you." He made sure she caught the door to hold it open while he walked further into his apartment to find his phone. Claire glanced over her shoulder, shrugging at Sylar as she stepped in as well.
