The House Called Honolulu Heights, Barry Island, Monday Morning

[chosehumanity]

George sat at the breakfast table with an untouched cup of tea, doing what he had been doing for most of last week... nothing, staring at the walls, trying not cry.

All right, so during the full moon things had gotten a bit... interesting... between him and Nina, so that had broken up the staring somewhat, but... that had only lasted so long. So now he sat here, and nursed his tea, and barely met Nina's eyes the few times she tried to get to him.

Then the door behind him opened, thudding against the wall, and he jerked up. Oh god-- would it be Mitchell and Annie? Were they back?

Some of the hope fled him as he looked: it was Mitchell, alive-- well, undead-- and well, thank god, but no sign of Annie.

No sign of Annie.

He couldn't deal with it any longer. The tears wrestled their way out and he sobbed out loud; no doubt he looked as ugly as he felt.

... and then the sound of tea clattering into his mug pulled him out of it. He looked up and stared directly into Annie's face, and her smile, god-- George hurled himself at her, hugging her tight, as behind him Nina did the same to Mitchell.

Mitchell-- pulled out his phone, and texted a quick, We're back!!! to the people who'd care. Then the three of them took Annie and dragged her from room to room, showing off their new home, and celebrating the return of a friend.

Kate was woken up pretty much in the middle of the night by that text. She didn't mind that so much, though, after she'd fumbled the phone into her hand from the nightstand while trying to keep from jostling Bod too badly, and then blearily read the text.

Suddenly she was wide awake.

both?!

Jack was still in New York. It turned out that three nights spent in a sewer eating rats did not increase his motivation to get back to London and find a job. This was fine, for now.

That mattered less when he read the text.

Amazing! Congratulations. Both in one piece?

The question was ... not entirely flippant.

About frickin time!!! You OK?

Bo may have left a few messages for him while he was gone, with the same tune, slightly different words.
