As Doc stood waiting his wife, his comm link sounded. After he listened to the message, he quietly closed it and stared forward, his facial expression one of stone. Midori came out to see him and knew something was dreadfully wrong.
"What wrong, John Henry," she asked of him concerned.
He choked up a bit as he turned to her, "It's Mal. We must leave."
He said nothing as he helped his wife out. As he passed Eriksson, he simply said, "Thank you. I'll explain another time but I have to go. It can't wait."
With that, he boarded his shuttle with Midori and left the feast.
