It took her a moment to figure out what had happened to make him interrupt it, but once she did, Alice was all ears. Her heart was beating fast when the voice on the other side started speaking. Alice's gaze was glued to Peter's face, while she paid attention to his words and to the ones coming from the other person. It seemed a pretty grim prospect, and Alice's hands started squeezing one another, as she usually did when she was nervous.<br/><br/>Alice's desire was to go out there and look for the other two men. They couldn't simply stay there and wait. As soon as they made sure Peter was okay, she hoped he would also be willing to go looking for Thomas and Bull. The idea of staying down there for days made Alice shiver a little, but she sucked it up. There was no time for her own fears now.<br/><br/>When Peter returned to her, Alice sighed and nodded. She started checking on him right away, worried with the injuries he might have sustained. <br/><br/>She nodded again when Peter said it was up to them to get to Bull and Thomas. When his eyes took on that soft expression, Alice placed a hand on Peter's face for a few seconds.<br/><br/><span style="color: #4040FF">"Physically, I'm fine. I can endure pain pretty well. Up here..."</span> She paused and touched her forehead. <span style="color: #4040FF">"Scared as hell, for all of us."</span> Alice took a deep breath while she ran her hand carefully over Peter's rib cage, trying to assess the damage there. <span style="color: #4040FF">"If you didn't move fast and risk your own safety... I would be dead now"</span>, she murmured softly. <span style="color: #4040FF">"Is it too bad here? Any other aching area you think needs more immediate attention? Otherwise, I will clean and dress the open wounds and bandage your ribs tightly to ease the discomfort, and we'll be on our way."</span></div>
