[ It's a bit late in the night and he's not sure if he'll hear back from him then, but it's worth a shot, regardless. Gaia knows people hardly sleep around here though... Not without good reason. ]

Hey, John. It's me, Zack. I heard you were the one who prescribed the ante... ante-however you say it. [ It's hard to brain something like that when his mind is still rolling around a bit. ] Anyway.. Thanks. I owe you one.

[Luckily, this is before John knows about the situation with Rhys and Stein, so he's more than happy to hear from Zack.]

Acetaminophen. You can call it Tylenol, if that's easier. Glad you were able to get it, but first prescription's on the house. Sounds like you lot ran into a nasty sort of business. Worth it?

Tylenol... Yeah, I think I like that name better. Just kinda.. rolls off the tongue better. [ Don't mind the stupid joke. It's his life ambition to make people roll their eyes apparently. First one's on the house though? He'll take it. Take it if not without a slight smile at John's own likely unintended pun there. Doctor and all.

The question gets him sobering up pretty quick though. ]

But yeah- no. ..I dunno. I mean we managed to find another key, so.. that's gotta lead to something, right? It's the best lead we've had in a while.

[There's no eye rolling, just a good-natured huff and a mutter that sounds vaguely like 'Americans.']

Just try to be careful going forward. Good bet that if there's one trap, there'll be another at the next door you unlock. Hopefully, you won't have to go traipsing all over downtown on this thing. Brass, silver, gold. That's usually the order, right?

Might come down and join you lot downtown once I sort out the patient I'm looking after up here. Provided Dr. Stitches stays up here. I'd rather have a doctor in uptown and downtown if we can manage it. If you're in trouble, you should be able to contact Luna and Dr. Epps. Last I heard, they were in your neck of the woods.

[ If he notices the huff and the mutter, he doesn't say anything. Then again, considering he's kinda still out of it in the first place, well..

Either way, he'll nod here and there as he does his best to follow the conversation. At least it's not as bad before. He'll be good as new in a few days, right? ~~...Right?~~ ]

It might not be a bad idea. This place... well. It's full of surprises. I'll tell you that much..

But we'll gonna do all we can to avoid another trap like that if we can help it.. [ It's one thing if it's him. It's another if it were anyone else he were with. Sure, you can't do anything if you're dead.

But...

Doesn't change the feeling that he's let too much happen, lost too many people.. If it's going to be anyone... ]

You might be right about that order though.

I'm holding you to that, then. Avoid all traps from here on out, all right? Doctor's orders!

And good luck to all of you. I know you're taking a risk doing this. It's appreciated, really.

Holding me to that, huh... [ He can't help the hint of a smile to hearing that phrase. ] I'll do what I can.

Thanks again, John... I'll keep in touch. -Keep you updated, but for now, I better go. Catch you later.

[ Little did he know... ]
