Keith heard something coming out of the room, but he couldn't tell what. Before he could even get up, Erika burst from the room, tears streaming down her face. Gobsmacked, Keith reached to stop her. "Erika? What's going on? Are you okay?" He was truly worried, he'd never seen her upset before and it was shocking to say the least. His mind raced as he went through a long, detailed list of possibilities that could have made her upset, but with no evidence, he simply had to wait until she spoke. That was assuming she turned to stay and chat. Keith was very much nervous, he didn't know where Alex was, Erika was in tears, and his restless sleep was fighting back against his forced composure. Keith's steely will matched his steely eyes, unyielding but not unbreakable.
