[OOC: Post with Hibari's not done yet, but I'm throwing up my aftermath post anyway. This, for the record, is Jack's excuse for being MIA when I go out of town next week.]
[The transmission is coming from Dr. Tam's clinic, and Jack's voice is hoarse, rough as if he's trying to keep it steady with difficulty. He sounds pained.]
Coming down with...something nasty. Don't want anyone to catch it.
[It's a lie, and not a particularly convincing one at that, but he continues.]
Elaine, can you find somewhere for Cindy to stay for a few days? I'm not...up to looking out for her.
Sinclair, can you take Celeste?
[Private; easily hackable, because Jack's hands aren't very agile at the moment. Video.]
[The the video feed flicks on to show Jack's face. He's been cleaned up since arriving at the clinic, and there's a splint across the bridge of his nose. One eye is swollen, and his lip is split. Though the blood has been washed from his lips and chin, his nostrils are still ringed with it. He's mottled with bruises, and just in the edge of the camera, his left arm is visible, splinted and heavily bandaged.]
Don't want to forget this.
