[ooc:
Charlie's dead]
The bar door opens, and Bartleby standing in it, holding a limp, blonde body in his arms. There's a heavily pregnant woman leaning against him, and when the door opens she gives a small cry and begins to slump to the floor. Bartleby can't catch her - he's cradling Charlie's corpse.
He looks around hopelessly.

She stoops down, stroking the girl's hair, having no other skills to take care of her.
