Re: [Carriage House: Steve, Janus, Atticus]
She's not here. Haven't seen her. Would have seen her if she was here. Assumed she was with you. [Atticus was worried now too. PJ wasn't a wanderer. PJ was predictable. PJ moved between the Carriage House and the garage. PJ didn't go on adventures without inviting him along. More importantly:] She would've checked on me if she could. [Was sure about that. PJ was overprotective. Was hysterical, since he was older and stronger than she was, but she'd always been that way.
Was concerned enough that it took him a moment to realize Steve was asking questions.] Don't know. Don't remember anything but the end. Not sure what I did. Know someone was killed in the bar. Should get a description of the wolf. [But Atticus had deliberately not done that. Didn't really want to know. What could he possibly do if he had killed the man in the bar? Couldn't take it back. Couldn't rewind time. Couldn't make it better.
Groaned as he sat up, forcing his way out of his slouch during the exhibition of ash. Hadn't seen that ash thing before. Didn't like that ash thing. Watched as the two men hugged, and then he looked at Janus.] What the fuck was that? [And since no one was saying the obvious, he glanced over at Steve.] Need to sit down and tell us where you've been. Then, you need a shower.
