Marc decided to go for a walk. Alana stayed home and surfed the web. Marc walked and walked.  He came home. He was the only one out there. Alana was reading and sipping Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

They smiled at each other. Marc grabbed a beer. The two spoke for a little while and started watching a classic Yankee game on YES. Such was life. Marc was supposed to be at the Stadium.

In about an hour they would watch one of their new fave bands, Brewster Moonface do their Thursday live stream. Marc met the band when they played the Coney Island Brewery on the New Year’s Day Polar Bear Plunge. He took some photos. Alana went swimming. One day Marc would jump in during the winter. He’s been saying that for ages. The two haven’t had to save anyone lately. They were worried their skills were rusty. They practiced in their bathroom.

Anat was worried sick about the little boy she helped. Not being related to him she wasn’t allowed to accompany him to the hospital. But the police officer and EMT promised her they would let her know what happened and if they found his parents. She never had feelings for anyone but her grandmother. She tried with her parents. But they shut her out. She hasn’t seen or heard for them since she graduated Stanford. She had no plans to contact them.

She sat in her apartment hard at work, when her phone buzzed. Caller ID said it was the NYPD. She answered and spoke to the officer who came when she dialed 911. The officer said they think the boy was left in the park. They are still searching for his parents. His wounds are healing and he will go into protective care. They said he needed some clothes. Anat asked for the address of the facility he’d be placed in. She got right onto Bloomingdales’ website and ordered lots of clothes. She would hand deliver them as soon as they arrived.
