Has anyone seen Tony?

Comments

[failedpromise]

Maybe. I wouldn't put it past him to tinker with it.

[bossyboiler]

Maybe.

[ This isn't good. ]

[failedpromise]

(She sighs.)

Figures something like this would happen.

[bossyboiler]

I really am sorry, Cortana.

[failedpromise]

(A minute or two of no response, and then:)

He not in jail either. I checked.

[bossyboiler]

Cortana... It may be time that you face the idea that he's gone.

[failedpromise]

Gone where, though? We still don't know what happens to people when they disappear. Will he just show up months down the road without any memories? Is he home? Dead? Kidnapped and being tortured by an entity?

(She sighs again, and Kate can probably hear her flop over in defeat.)

Bad enough with George and Nick, and now this...

[bossyboiler]

I don't know. I don't have an answer for any of it.

I really am very sorry, Cortana.

[failedpromise]

I really hope it's not the last one.

(An understatement. The thought of any of her friends going through something like that makes her insides seize in panic. She manages to keep her sheer horror at the concept from showing in her voice.)

[bossyboiler]

All we can do is hope.

[failedpromise]

Hope for the best, plan for the worst I guess.

[bossyboiler]

Yup.
