A meeting?

Jen got home from the urgi center. The doctor cleaned her wounds. Luckily she didn’t need stitches. She cried in Jake’s arms for a few minutes. Then bathed Benjamin.

Marc heard his phone play the “It’s the end of the world as we know it” text tone. He hadn’t heard from Jen in ages. He grabbed his phone and read her message. It was an abbreviated version of her recent experience. Somehow she knew Marc would know about the “glass guy.” She mentioned her peaceful run-in with Anat. Marc tossed the phone to Alana. She looked back at Marc and smiled. The two knew they would probably have to meet with Anat. They weren’t against it. But didn’t want to. They know she helped them in the camp when they captured Jay. They debated whether they should contact her and set up a meeting. They weren’t going to contact her. But decided if Alana saw Anat delivering groceries to Aunt Solica, Alana would ask.

Where to meet? Marc usually liked to meet people along Museum Mile. Sometimes he’d have them meet at the Guggenheim. He is a member. He always felt being surrounded by great art made things go easier. Then Marc remembered his camp has a museum. It is closed for the summer due to Covid-19. Marc was on its board. He could go anytime.

They could go back and meet there. He doubted Jay would go back. He thought he was too busy making a mess around NYC. Maybe Marc could build a fire and they could meet over burgers and dogs. He would serve Cherikee Red soda. As much as he wanted to sip a Genny Cream Ale, he thought it was better to meet without alcohol.

Alana and Marc went for a walk down Queens Boulevard. They noticed broken glass all over.
