Feb. 27th, 2011 07:00 pmPeter had gotten the call that Neal was home a couple of hours ago. He'd considering taking off then, but he tried not to leave work early unless he had to.
He'd left work at six -- he did most of the time, now, nights when he stayed late were less common than they ever had been -- and only stopped briefly, to pick up more bandages and alcohol. They hadn't been out of them yet, but it seemed like it never hurt to have more around, lately, and Elizabeth had sounded worried when she'd called. At least she hadn't said they were taking him to the hospital. Small comfort, but they didn't usually get that much anymore.
He entered as silently as he could, knowing Neal would probably be asleep by now, and stopped to set the bag down on the kitchen counter before heading upstairs to find the two of them.
