[Too much has happened today. Far too much. John needs to contact Kid, though. Reassure him. Do... something. It's the last thing Alfie asked him to do before shutting the door between them. It's the least he can do. It takes him a few tries before he thinks he's ready to talk and sound confident and reassuring.

Too much has happened, but Kid may have just lost a friend permanently to... whatever horror was visited on Claire. Not to mention Stein's name turning up in the Obituaries again.]

Kid, Alfie contacted me earlier and let me know what happened with Claire. Can you talk to me? I'm sorry if you want to speak with someone else, I can see if there's anyone else, but I'd like to help, if I can.
