( Skyhouse Suite 102 )

[Video]

[Gale had been staring at his phone for a good solid ten minutes. This didn't feel real. He didn't want it to be real. His hand shook as he slowly turned the video on. He was aiming for audio only, but he got video by accident, so to hell with it. He was slumped on the floor as he gave a blank, empty stare to the screen as he gave slow, shaky breaths. Then he quietly spoke.]

Faye is gone.

[His voice was strained. He didn't want to say it, because that all but confirmed it. He inhaled sharply before he gave a dry, pained laugh which completely betrayed the unreadable expression on his face.]

I guess this means Nova will be lookin' another deputy again, huh? Because why the hell wouldn't this happen?

[He gave another strained laugh. This really was his luck, wasn't it? There was nothing to do but laugh, right? Right?]
