Fiske lay in corner of the cell. The vespers hadn't done anything to him yet, and he dreaded to think what had happened to Alistair. They were the last two of a certain generation of Cahill's and Fiske didn't show it but he worried how well these kids could deal with the pressure. But he could. He always had and he always would.

"So, what have I missed? Anything important?" Elizabeth asked Jonah after, a few seconds of awkward silence, she had just finished telling him what had happened in Seattle. Jonah cleared his throat uncomfortably and couldn't quite meet her eye. His thumb rubbed the back of her hand gently for a minute before he spoke.
"About three hours before you woke up you got a new text from Vesper one…" He trailed off and kept staring at her bandaged hand.
"Jonah, what did it say?" Her voice was quiet, but it had an undertone of urgency. He met her eyes, and she felt like her heart was turning to ice.
"Your brother's dead." His oh-so-perfect voice, the one that millions of girls swooned over, cracked slightly as he said this, but he did not break her gaze. Not when a tear fell, or another after that. Not when they started in a constant stream down her face.
He only broke it when she started silently sobbing, and he hugged her as her grief rocked her without a sound.

Alistair groaned as Natalie untied him, and Dan ran to get help. The Vespers had beaten him, trying to force the serum ingredients out of him, but he honestly couldn't remember them.
If he had he wouldn't have told them, so he supposed it was a good thing but still… he didn't like forgetting things, and he didn't like remembering that he was getting older.

Hamilton went to Sinead's room to apologize, and heard her sobbing. He was about to knock, assuming that she was crying about them, but then he heard her speak.
"I'm sorry! We may have argued, but I can't kill him! I understand that sir, but-" The voice on the phone cut her off and she whimpered.
"Alright, just don't hurt Ted."
Hamilton didn't know what was going on, but he turned and ran.

Ian told Amy about what had happened while she was captured and when her was done she had a questioning look on her face.
"I don't understand, you where in Seattle for three days, but you've only told me what happened in the first and last day, but what happened in between?"
If Amy had been able to see, she would have seen Ian looking like he'd just crapped himself. Or as much like that as a Kabra can look.
