Mikey was good-naturedly adding two more sandwiches to the order when his phone on the counter started buzzing again, several messages in quick succession -- and they kept coming. He reached for the phone, frowning, and tried to make sense of it -- Brian, Nes's boyfriend, was texting about ripping the head off of something, and shots being fired, and a few others were chiming in too.
He could see the others likewise starting to get notices on their phones, and he frowned as he scrolled through his, trying to sort it out.
"Looks like there's some shit going down in town," he said with a raised eyebrow. "Something about animal corpses attacking?"
He looked over to Rhiannon and Cian. "You ever hear of anything like this before?" He kept getting more texts -- and one made his heart stutter in his chest.

He looked at it, feeling the blood run from his face. "Right," he said, "looks pretty widespread. Ronnie's in it too." He looked up at the others in the room, whose expressions were by turns worried or grim -- he figured they were getting similarly bombarded. "What's the plan?" He said, his voice tight.
