Dominic slipped into the elevator, wearing only a pair of hastily thrown on jeans, bouncing a screaming Joshua in his arms, trying to calm the child down. Nikki jumped into the lift before the doors closed, and when they reached the foyer, they met Callie, already heading for the monorail.
"What's going on?" She asked.
Dominic managed a shrug around the armful of screaming child, and Nikki shook her head.
"No clue," she said, "Hoped you would have an idea."
As they were about to climb into the monorail car, Brandon appeared from the lift and ran over to jump in.
"That alarm doesn't sound normal," he said. "What the hell is going on?"
Dominic stroked Joshua's head and held him close, but the screaming didn't abate. As his feet hit the cold, hard monorail car floor, he wished he had remembered his shoes. He team-mates gave him awkward smiles that told him they wished Joshua was being his normal good self. Dominic agreed.
The ride was short, and soon they found themselves in the lounge, waiting for the news.
