Ready to wander

Having just arrived to work, Rick picks up the phone in the infirmary. Hearing Katie's voice and what was happening, he wastes no time. It could be nothing, but when it came to Jason and Katie both, he was always ready.

"I'll be right there, Katie. Just hang tight."

Ending the call, Rick turns right around again and goes back out of the building, carrying with him his bag that had in it more than what would be needed for the average person.

It doesn't take him long to get to the safe house and once there and entering, he finds Jason still on the couch, lethargic and barely awake. Rick rolls up his sleeves and nods to Katie. "I'm glad you called."

Kneeling beside the couch, he takes a pen light and shines it in Jason's eyes, first giving him a routine once-over. "Hey, Hotshot... what happened, buddy?"

Jason blinks slowly, not resisting Rick's poking and prodding. "Flashback," he mumbles. "Nothing new, just... flashback."

"When?"

"Um..." Jason has a hard time remembering. "Last... last night."

"And you're still feeling bad?"

"Not... not the same just... um... tired."

"Mm-hmm..." Rick continues to check him over. "Still in a flashback?"

"No." Jason shakes his head. "Katie helped."

Rick nods slowly. After a short while, he gets up and motions for Katie to join him in the kitchen while Jason continued to rest. Rick sighs and leans back against one of the counters. "He's just completely worn out. I think he's dehydrated and his sugar's low, so I'll leave that to you - get some water in him and have him eat something - some fruit would be good. He probably won't feel like eating, but make him do it anyway."

Thinking for a moment, there was something else that was behind his gaze... something he wasn't saying. "That's all for now. I'd just leave him here for now... look after him until he's up and going again. Maybe Destiny can help too... she should probably just think he's sick though - anything else might be a bit much for her right now." He nods, still avoiding whatever it was he'd been thinking. "Call me if anything changes."


Quinn can't help laughing along with Anastasia, then smiling as he hears her singing along. Unable to help it, he joins right in, not caring if they were being incredibly silly or not. What could be better than singing along with Elvis?

The ride to the lake seemed to take no time at all and the CD was only half over. But it didn't matter... once they're parked in the lot, Quinn can just make out the lake by the light of the moon and it seemed to be quite the peaceful spot. It wasn't the biggest lake he'd seen, but it wasn't small either, and it looked like it had a pier and even a little beach.

Getting out and breathing in the night air, he sets his hands on his hips and scans the area. "Alright, you take the lead. My legs are ready to wander."
