[Griffin gets the message about a half hour after Michael left it. He had been getting back in touch with his Playstation. As the phone rings, he's already changing clothes, getting ready to head out to see the old man.]
[He's shocked. This is the last thing Griffin had been expecting to hear. He doesn't have any particular feelings towards Jinx beyond finding her annoyingly teen-like and having terrible taste in men. And of course Gabriel is a whole different story. But Griffin wouldn't wish something like that on anyone, even if he hated them.]
[He's seen what happens when the old man snaps and he is not going to have that happen twice. Especially not now, after losing Sarina for what seems to be permanently.]

I hate to ask. But I need a favour - it's important, please call me back as soon as you can.

What can I do?

I hate to ask. Drag you into this. Anyone else I'd trust...I don't think they could.

[There's a beat. Then Griffin speaks again, his voice is heavier with concern.]
Michael?

Date: 2011-10-16 08:25 am (UTC)Thank you.
[]A soft sound, fretting and worry and just plan fear compressed and released into a single exhale.]
Yes?

I'm going to go check on Gabriel. If you need anything....
[Because he's bad at saying 'I'm not okay and need to not be alone for a while.']
