When Fitch and the others are ready to head out to the helicopter, Fitch says goodbye to Monroe (Tiffany) outside and she gazes onward. However, when cutting to the scene with Brady talking to Fitch via phone, Monroe is clearly visible beside Brady. Brady and the others are inside. The movie continues to cut back and forth for the entirety of the phone conversation, inserting clips of Monroe looking onwards at Fitch and the others outside. Monroe is visible in both areas at the same time.
