"Hey, Serge. You here to see Mahalia?" Shadow said as his friend entered the LH.
Serge shrugged in reply. "We didn't make any plans today."
"I heard. Not big on the Valentine's Day thing?"
Again Serge shrugged. "You got plans fer tonight, Pat?"
Shadow smiled and retold what had occurred earlier. Serge couldn't help smiling himself as he remembered how Cordelia had asked him questions about Patrick throughout the week.
"Did you tell her how you feel about her?" Serge asked with a knowing grin when Shadow had finished.
"No."
"No? She obviously has been thinking about you. Doesn't that mean anythin?"
"Not necessarily…"
"What if I told you that I know there's somthin' there? Stop being mysterious and go talk to her."

Mahalia and Cordelia entered the bunkroom and approached Mahalia's bunk.
"You can sleep in this bunk. I think it'll be empty tonight."
"Hey, Hale, what's that on your bed."
Mahalia took a closer look at her bunk and noticed there was a piece of paper on the bed with two words neatly printed on it: "Fire escape." She and Cordelia looked out the window closest to Mahalia's bunk. On the fire escape was another piece of paper. "Roof", it said. Mahalia grabbed the coat she had sewn herself and stepped out on to the fire escape.
"You think this is safe, right, Cordy? I mean there's not gonna be some Jack the Ripper up there…right?" Mahalia asked her friend. She wondered if she ought to be following these notes.
Just then Shadow walked into the bunkroom, wearing his usual unexpressive face. He approached Cordelia and Mahalia, and as he grew closer they noticed he was blushing a bit.
"I think you'll be fine." Cordelia said to Mahalia. "Do you want me to come with you?"
Mahalia looked into the window at Shadow. "No," she said with a quick wink. "But if I'm not in my bunk tomorrow you know what happened to me and you can have my clothes." She began climbing up to the roof.
Serge shrugged in reply. "We didn't make any plans today."
