Jan and I are in a safe haven, no need to worry about us.

What the hell happened to him? He was supposed to meet me this morning...

Got caught in a fire.

..... how bad?

A husk.

... shit.

How... is he still alive?

No. But he is regenerating.

Figured he would be.

I assume he'll be in the hospital until he revives?

Yes, but I don't know for how long. Due to the mass of victims coming in, hospital had to prioritize. His regeneration process has to do without assistance for at least tonight.

I'll come by sometimes tomorrow. Maybe I can help with that...

Will you be alright tonight?

Thank-you. Would do something myself now but the doctor said it could cause more damage than healing.

I will, helps that the coffee here is excellent.

Alright then. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be with Asher, but I'll have my mini on me so you can contact me.

I'm sorry, Luke. I really am.

Don't blame yourself for what happened. Based on what I've heard, it seems anyone anywhere at anytime has a fifty/fifty chance of being struck by that fire.

Good. I heard Jan flaked on Anita. She probably won't be happy.

Hmm.

Yes?

The last sentence is ironic.

Because he's turned into a frosted flake?

She probably won't be happy.

An assessment. Cut the bullshit, baby. You're more curt than usual. What's wrong?

Burned to death.

Shit.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me for snapping.

It's nothing.

You want company later?

Maybe tomorrow.

If not, tell me otherwise.

I was worried, not pissed.

I had reason to be.

My bad. I'd be pissed if I were stood up.

I smelled smoke before I got to the beach. When he didn't show, I started to worry. I kinda forgot to be pissed.

Is he alright?

He will be.
