She starts to dial Peter's number the instant the phone's in her hand, her heart jumping a little despite herself. She knows he probably won't answer, but that doesn't stop her from hoping.
As the phone starts to ring, she holds it to her ear and glances back at Steve, hesitating for a second before he answers. Giving him her name if she's still in the wrong universe could be dangerous. Then again, standing out on the street, dressed like she is, when the police and Fringe Division and the army probably all know her face is dangerous enough as it is, if she's not home. Introducing herself isn't going to hurt at this point.
"Olivia Dunham. I just was trying to get home, but it's... complicated."
She was about to say something more, but then the phone clicks as someone picks up, and all her attention is fixed on that. "Hello?" It's a man's voice. Deep. Unfamiliar. Not Peter. Olivia hangs up without answering, and offers the phone back to Steve with a pained smile.
"Thanks. Um... this may seem strange, and maybe insane, but please, just... On September 11th, which buildings were attacked?" Yeah. She definitely sounds crazy. But she already looks - again - like she just escaped from a mental institution, and he still seems willing to help her. One question probably won't change that.
