Steve's focus shifts to Bucky when he says he's leaving. He's a little worried about how keyed up Bucky's been getting, but he reminds himself that they're in prison and that there's a time and a place for them to talk about something like that. It sure as hell isn't out in the open like this.

When he sees Alex gone from where he'd been perched all morning, though, Steve taps out on his turn and moves to leave.

Too much of a coincidence for Steve's liking and whatever is going on, he doesn't like it.

Running would call too much attention, so Steve walks at a brisk pace down the hall he knows Bucky would have taken. His legs are long and he catches up to the group just a moment after Alex does.

"Buck, are these guys bothering you?" Subtly really, really isn't his thing. Taking no shit, however, is his entire lifestyle at this point.
