Being trapped inside of quarantine for days now was starting to make him feel the same way he used to feel months into one of his stints on a carrier. The close quarters were starting to make everyone nutty and you could have cut the tension with a knife. Lucas had broken up his fair share of fights in the past couple of days, things that came up over stupid disagreements - but seemed to explode simply because everyone was edgy. How he had become the guy to break up fights in here he didn’t know, most likely it was his age and the sheer fact that nobody had stepped up to lead. Keeping order was important, but all he really cared about was getting out of this place alive… Which as the hours and days ticked by weighed more and more on his mind. What would happen if he didn’t make it out? His thoughts without fail always drifted towards his wife and kids. Being stuck inside these walls found him thinking about the state of his marriage. While it was always on his mind - especially now that for the first time in a while both he and Rosana were in the same place - it consumed his thoughts that much more since entering quarantine. Lucas wasn’t sure what he would do if he got out, but he was positive that he wasn’t going to go back to how things had been. He couldn’t handle existing in the same space with Rosana, but not being with her. Questions cycled through his mind, the three top ones being - What would happen to his family if he didn’t come out of here? How would they handle it? Would Rosana even care? All questions he wasn’t entirely sure he could answer. Which was why he knew things just couldn’t stay the same once he got out…if he got out. These were thoughts that were only broken up by thoughts of what might happen to the people he cared about inside of these walls. Deb had been with him when the chaos had broken out. But it had just been another blow to find out that Kendall had also been one of the unlucky souls who now found themselves in here. Though not prone to it, lately it would seem all of his thoughts were of the dismal variety. Lucas let his mind drift to thoughts of his kids as he finished up his latest round of ‘check-ins’ with people. He was just stepping back into the main laboratory space when he caught sight of a familiar blonde off to the left. “Hey,” He spoke up as he approached Kendall, not wanting to startle her. “So...still alive, huh?” Over the course of time being stuck in here this had become Lucas’ way of asking how a person was doing. It maybe wasn’t the gentlest way to do it, but nobody had ever accused him of being good with his feelings...or anyone else’s for that matter. |
