"What happened?" El asked.

"Someone decided to play hero. Got themselves slashed with a broken bottle by our suspect."

"He was getting away!" Peter rolled his eyes. "He's been stitched up and given some prescription pain meds …"

"Not taking them."

"… to take when the local wears off. Knowing how sensitive to them …"
