Gwen: What the Fuck is all this on Nexus?? And where the Fuck are these two?! Why aren't they answering their phones?!

Marcus: Are they asleep??

Gwen: Better be in a Fucking Coma to ignore this many calls!!

Collen is typing...

My finger hovers over the 'send' button, hesitation gripping me like a vise. After a moment, I delete everything and set the phone aside, ignoring its incessant buzzing with texts and calls.

Marcus: COLLEN!!

Marcus: Holy Fuck!!

Marcus: Answer the Fucking phone!

Marcus: COLLEN!!

Collen: What is it?

Marcus: ...

Gwen: 'What is it'?? You're asking 'What is it'?? Have you seen the fucking Nexus??

Gwen: Some sort of error in the HQ's data caused your and Logan's partner status to change! The entire Nexus believes your partnership has dissolved!!

Marcus: And you two won't answer our Fucking calls!!

Collen: It's not an error. It's true. Our partnership dissolved.

Gwen: What??

Marcus: What the fuck?!

Marcus: HOW??

Gwen: Can you answer the Damn phone?!

Collen: Please, stop calling me. There's not much to tell. He's gone.

Collen: Logan's gone

Tears choke me as my own text feels like a punch to the gut. I switch off my phone—plunging the dark kitchen into deeper shadows—and place it aside. Leaning against the counter, I clutch the bottle of whiskey, my only solace in this moment of despair. I take a long swig, permitting the burning liquid to sear its way down my throat in the hope it will numb the constant ache inside.
