This looks bad... (Peter, Tasha, And then whomever Tasha rings...)

Aly was gone. Peter knew it was just for a little while. Thomas had gotten through to him the previous night. He knew Aly wasn't going to leave him for accidentally hurting her. He knew she didn't blame him. He also knew he blamed himself. Guilt had always been one of Peter's greatest vices. Guilt and alcohol, as the two had a terrible knack

There was never a shift working for the London Police force that wasn't tiring, especially now. After the destruction of Iris and Delford, people who still had homes in other areas near London were flocking to what they perceived as the relative safety of the city. At the same time, state security and even military forces were locking things down tight. The borders were getting harder to get in and out of. People were afraid. A few spot riots had flared up. None of them had been too bad yet, but if the fear kept up, they'd come. Violence was creeping back into London, slowly but surely. As always, there were those who were afraid, and those who were taking advantage of that fear. Paul, Tasha and their colleagues were doing their best to stem the tide, but how did you even pretend you could protect people from destruction of the magnitude afflicting the nearby towns

Liz had been playing gin rummy with Johan and Werner when the phone rang. "Just a moment! Don't you dare go out, Werner, I see those eyes!" She said, and she ran to the phone smiling as she heard him chuckle behind her. "Hello?" She said as she answered it. She wondered if it were her wife, who was at work. But it wasn't. It was Tasha.

"Liz, I need you," Tasha said without preamble. There was no time for niceties. "It's Peter. He's had a seizure, and he's... it doesn't look good. The ambulance is on its way, but we need you." She gripped the phone tightly in her hand slick with sweat, so tight it almost slipped from her grip.

Peter.

Alarm rose in Liz' chest, but she pushed it away for Tasha's sake. Peter was her little brother. She loved him almost more than anyone.

"I'm coming." She said firmly. And she set off towards the door without even telling Johan and Werner. "Tasha, should I meet you at the hospital or at home?"

"Meet me at the hospital. The ambulance will be here soon, and the fewer people they have to deal with here, the better." She could already hear the sirens in the distance, and she hoped they were coming for Peter. "It's probably best you make doubly sure they're ready at the hospital."
