"Focus people," Fenris growls. "Discussion later. The more time we discuss, the more time the hunters encircle us. Now, we need to get clean and safe."

Nycto turns leaves its shadow form and slumps into the car seat.
He forms a little shadow ball in his hand and starts to mold and pull small parts making some kind of statue, trying to forget death.

"A professor X would be good. But at least we are not alone anymore.
Has anyone got contacts or something that allows us to discover who's behind this??"

"I've got nothing in store like that... " Harrison says, wandering around in search of a shower or a simple faucet.

Jason, who has been little more than a zombie since he climbed out of the wreckage and saw the body of Mama B, continues to go through the motions. Out of some instinct for survival he refreshes, with Fenris' permission, his strength and agility, and begins to wash off from a faucet in the bathroom of the warehouse (grimacing at the mostly brown water).

"A professor X would be good. But at least we are not alone anymore.
Has anyone got contacts or something that allows us to discover who's behind this??"

The statement snaps him out of his disillusion, "Sarah! I need a phone, who has one?!"

Harrison grabs his phone than hesitates, thinking of Susan.
"With that conspiracy mood in the air, I wouldn't use a cell phone right now...I guess...Just some caution..." Harrison replies with a troubled expression.
//This situation is getting on my nerves...I could be scared of my own shadow...//

Harrison hesisates to begin his 'bath'...
"We're going to catch a cold....Javi', your pyrotechnic skills could be handy. A campfire outside would be to risky but I'm sure we can improvise a chimney fire..."

Alan despite not having any dust on him (he was only a shadow) takes a bath also, as he feels himself soiled by the death of Mama B.

Another death... How much more will I see and won't be able to stop?

[Sheesh, guys! Give a man a chance to catch his breath!

On the drive over, Javier reaches over to open the glove compartment and extracts one of a handful of cell phones stashed inside. He dials a number without even looking at the keys and, once the call goes through, bursts into rapid-fire Spanish interspersed with barely recognizable English words.

The call completed, Javier tosses the phone on the seat and announces to all who can hear.

"That was my cousin. I tol' him to meet us at the warehouse. He'll bring me some clothes and us a new ride so we can decide if and where we want to go without using the truck."

Once they arrive at their destination, a dilapidated warehouse near the trainyards, he explains, "This place's been abandoned for a long time. Some people've used it for a rave once or twice, so I know it has running water."

"Oh Javi you would be great on screen in prime time as our martyr. You could defend our cause with your lovely manners and touching vocabulary...I can picture this...I'm sure Opra would dissolves into tears...
Seriously, you really need to be patched up my friend.Your wounds are nasty... "

Javier absentmindedly pats his pockets for cigs before he realizes he's wearing borrowed clothes. "This? S**t, 'mano, I've had Saturday nights worse than this." He starts searching his truck for a spare pack.

"Relax, cholo," Javier reassures Fenris. "My cousin will be here soon, then we can decide where to go."

Javier shrugs. "I know some people who know people, but I don't run with the kinda crowds that toss around that kinda hardware." He pauses for a second. "At least not any more."

Javier sticks his head out of the truck and tosses the cell phone he'd been using to Jason. "Use mine. It's a burner."

Javier chuckles, "Don' worry 'bout me, ese. I keep plenty warm. If anyone else gets cold, let me know and I'll fire up something."

Jason takes the phone and rapidly dials the house phone in his apartment, C'mon Sarah, pick up.

Fenris permits raising only an eyebrow. He wonders if this will become a habit for Jason. All the power and none of the consequences. Good for him, then.

Fenris grunts in reply and paces waiting for new clothes before washing.

"Calls can still be intercepted...Don't you think?" he says, imagining legions of cold bureaucrats dissecting everything relentlessly....
He was also a bit envious that Jason dared to use a phone...and though of his loved ones...

Javier chuckles, "Don' worry 'bout me, ese. I keep plenty warm. If anyone else gets cold, let me know and I'll fire up something."

"I hoped about something to dry our clothes...I wanted to keep mine...after the cleanup...After all I was in my armor during our accident...I don't think I was that much 'dusted'..."

He wonders if this will become a habit for Jason. All the power and none of the consequences. Good for him, then.

(I toooold you! Mimics are such an annoyance!)
