Parker was stunned by the suddenness of it all, and he sat back in his booth, although his appetite had vanished. He took a sip out of his flask as Sarah sat behind him, and he immediately wrapped a shoulder around her, pulling her close. With her head lying on his chest, he noticed she was shivering a bit, and he offered her the flask. "No thanks, I'm driving..." she mumbled.<br/><br/>"Never seen a man die before," said Parker. It was empty and meaningless, and all he could muster to say in the dead-silent diner. Outside he heard an ambulance pass by, full sirens and going about 60, destined for another place. His fingers were playing delicately with Sarah's long hair when he happened to brush against her cheek, and Parker noticed she was flushed and quite warm.
