Harry sat in the Bookhouse with a half drained bottle of Jack Daniels in front of him, trying to numb the ache he felt in his chest. But there didn't seem to be enough alcohol in the world for that. He knew the others were just outside, keeping watch. He knew that eventually they'd call Cooper over. None of this mattered to him. Nothing mattered to him anymore, with Josie gone.

So many things had changed in just a matter of a few days. One day his life seemed perfect, then everything he loved was gone. He stared at his weapon and wondered if he had the courage use it on himself but somewhere deep down he didn't think so. He fingered the gun as he took another drink. Maybe if he consumed enough alcohol to pass out he could forget for a while.
