The rest of the new IR recruits remained in the lounge, since Scott had not given the all clear yet. Callie paced around the room, nervous as she could possibly be. Why does it have to be him? she thought gravely. It always seems good people have to suffer while the worst vermin can get out scot-free. Mr. Tracy is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and now his life is in danger.

She looked around the room at the others in the room. Each of them was reacting differently. I can see Christopher's calm comes from his cat. But how does John stay so cool? Or Tin-Tin? They're much closer to this rescue than I am, and I can't sit still!

Tin-Tin saw how nervous Callie was. "Are you all right?"

"No, I'm not. I'm worried about Mr. Tracy. He's a nice man, period, and now... I just don't understand how you can stay so calm about this."

Tin-Tin sighed. "Part of it is experience, Callie. We've been on so many other rescues before. And, I'll admit, in this case part of it is numbness. I just can't believe that this has happened to Mr. Tracy. I don't know what to feel, so until I know one way or another about his condition, I don't feel at all."

Callie nodded. "Makes sense. It's just scary that the man who hired me a little over two weeks ago is the one in the greatest danger right now. If only I could do something to help him..." Tears started falling from her eyes.

Tin-Tin put a hand on Callie's shoulder and gave it a squeeze. "I know. We all wish there was something we could do. But we have to leave him, and Ms. Collins, in the hands of the rescue team that went out." She pointed to John, who had an arm around Tyler. "Even Tyler knows that."

"I guess I need to have faith. I know it's got to be especially tough on Dr. Tracy and the others...trying to keep cool in this nightmare."

"Yes, especially on Dianne. His life's in her hands, literally." The tone of the room changed as the eyes on Scott's portrait blinked.

"Go ahead, Scott," said John straightforwardly.

"Tell the others to stand down. We're getting Dad to New York now. It hasn't been affected by the blizzard."

"Scott...how is Dad?"

With one heavy breath, he answered, "Right now...not that good. We'll let you know more as soon as we can get information."

"Okay, Scott. Keep in touch as often as you can."

"F.A.B."

After Scott's portrait changed back, John looked at the others. "All right, everyone. There isn't much we can do for the time being...except pray."
