Somebody wasn't happy. Alex was curled next to the bird cages, mourning loudly. In his mind, Dr. Victor was as good as dead. "Brevis *sniffle* ipsa vita est sed malis *sniffle* fit longior! Why, God? Uh uhhhnnncle."

"..Alex...Alex, are you alright? Alex...Calm down." He says gently, and approaches him slowly. He is worried about Alex currently.

Alex hid his face behind both his hands, because heaven forbid somebody saw him cry. He muttered something mostly unintelligible, though the phrases "Not fair" and "Chelseeeeaaa" could be distinguished.

Ashley walked up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder gently. "Alex...it is ok. I am sorry about Doctor Victor. I knew that something was wrong when I did not see him. They think he will be ok...Calm down..I know you must be hurt..."

Patti came up just seconds behind Ash. She stood back, to give him a chance to calm Alex. They were close and shared a faith, a faith that might be helpful under the circumstance. She stood fifteen feet away, hoping that she was out of Alex's limited line of sight for the moment. She guessed that Alex really didn't want any girls to see him cry. She caught a sob in her throat. She rubbed her face furiously, tears had run all the way to her chin, she turned her back for a moment and used her shirt sleeve to wipe her face. She choked back another sob, but struggled to keep up with the tears. Goddammit, if Alex see's her crying it'll just make him feel worse. Get yourself under control, Greene!

Alex was unaware that he had company beyond Ashley. Perhaps that's why he felt comfortable throwing a minor fit. In a VERY LOUD VOICE, he said, "Victor's in a coma! Those were bad before the world went to hell! It's not fair. So much suffering. Why? Are we being tested? WHY? What is the POINT? Is God all-knowing, or isn't he?" Alex tugged Ashley into a crushing hug. "This is just the beginning, isn't it? I'm not strong enough ..." He seemed to calm down, though.

Poor, poor kid. He had always had the feeling that Alex wasn't a smart guy, but he had a good and caring heart towards everyone, whether they deserved it or not. He closes his eyes, and then replies: "Alex...our faith is being tested...you will hear more about it later, I should say little more, but...false gods have arisen...they threaten our very existence and life, and we must fight them. Terrible things happen...But we are being tested, and we must keep fighting and beat them back into the darkness they came from...We have a mission...I am beginning to think that you and some of the others...should go somewhere safe. I worry that things are about to become worse, before we can reclaim the world and live freely without horror....Alex...I know you have it in you. Have faith...Things will turn out alright." His voice sounded a bit like he smoked too much on a good day, and his attempts at a gentler tone were awkward at best, but he was trying. He at the very least, seemed tired and sad himself. "...We have so much terror to confront...you have lost so much Alex...and you are so young. I know you must feel lost but you have us, and Him." Ashley smiled, though the expression looked grim on his face.

"I'll be twenty in August. Maybe it's time to grow up." He stepped back and rubbed his eyes. "If you fight, let me help. I won't let you down, Sir." Alex smiled faintly. "Anyway, my ancestors faced worse, and they ... kind of survived." He wouldn't give up on the doctor or peace. "So ... do you think the whole virgin sacrifice thing is real?"

"I think we plan to fight back. Clemens will have another announcement later today, I think, a very important one to our futures..." He decides not to brush his clothing off for the time being. That would be rude. "Your ancestors?" He didn't seem to remember Alex's history. "I do not think virgin sacrifices are real." He has a strange expression after saying such a thing, and stares off the building. Unspoken, Ashley adds 'at least I hope not.'

Hearing Ash's sincere faith and apparent strength made her feel even weaker and more useless. He was a good man. He and Alex would be fine. She headed back down the stairs and disappeared into her room, making her best attempt to avoid anyone as she went.

"Uh, just a Native American joke. It wasn't funny, huh?" Alex took Ashley's lead and looked quietly at the city. It only lasted a few seconds, though. "Poor Micah. Until he finds a roomie, I better crash on the couch. Don't think he'd appreciate a permanent type situation, though, considering my early mornings." Another quiet moment. Then ... "You respect Seth lots, don't you?"

"I do...I think Clemens is a good man, with good goals in mind for what we should do. He is proactive and keeps the peace with little bias, and we need that, especially right now." "He wants to combat the monsters directly instead of waiting to die. I...approve of this choice. I think we have been lingering, uncertain, while they gather and plan to end us, and I do not think that is any way to live..Alex... You are a good man, take care of Johnson." He says, almost grimly. "And take care of your head. I will go with you to see the doctor if you need it."

Micah walked towards the pair, they looked like they were getting in pretty deep and Micah almost considered going back downstairs. Alex was red eyed and Ash looked, well ...like Ash. " Uh hey sorry if I'm interrupting anything, uh anyway I'm going with the first group to see the doctor. Did you want to come Alex? Actually Ash, could you do me a favour and let Patti know I'd like to talk to her sometime about her REI experience, cause you know ... Cornish and all that. How are you both going? It's fucking shithouse huh?"

"Alex may need medical attention. I am going to see Patti since she also had an..experience." He puts a hand on his own shoulder and breathes out. "I will tell her. I am sure she will talk to you about it if I can find her." He seems obviously tired, and then checks over his shoulder at Alex.
