Ayden was tense, trying to understand what had happened. And Nox...he was a mess. Between his sister, this guy and Aria, and now this call that Ayden had intercepted, it looked like the kid was floored, as if all life had left him. Instinctively he put a hand on Nox's shoulder even as he looked at the building anxiously.
He saw Aria exit from the doors of the building they had been watching. Despite the situation and need to be away, he watched her closely, trying to see if there was any difference in the way she moved or looked. He really wasn't sure what he was looking for.
It seemed odd, all of them just standing there as traffic and people passed by, oblivious to the chaotic crashing around of Nox's world. But that was life. Every single person had their own life, their own family, their own dreams- and we passed them by without giving them a thought, even when those people watched their world crumble to the ground. The memory of Hayden lying in bed, face ashen and skin clammy and cool, struck him with a force he hadn't expected.
Aria was focused on Nox and quickly rounded him up. Nox responded and they were walking toward the metro in no time. Connor looked at Ayden and took her hand to follow them. "He needs help,"
was all he said in explanation. He hoped she'd understand.
