[ PRIVATE to NICK FURY and BOBBI MORSE ]

Hector Peck might be a dead end. I don't think he's involved at all with Vulcanus or that New Vesuvius city. He's just an editor for a newspaper here and keeps himself busy with that. Nothing out of the ordinary with his schedule or work.

[ When Gil speaks up, he sounds as if he's slightly congested. ]

I believe Raven has been ported out. If she had any previous or future engagements to attend to I'm sorry, but I don't think she'll be showing up. I haven't heard from or seen her around the house since before some of us were ported to New Vesuvius.

I'm not sure what to do yet about her belongings. It seems too soon to pack them away somewhere so they aren't lying around the place, doesn't it? A bit rude, too... [ He sighs. It's hard to finish cleaning the place when he's caught in a tiny dilemma like this!! ]

It's always going to be impossible to predict how long before people return. [ A beat. ] If they do.

[ Followed by another pause, as if he may add something to that thought. ]

Ah, never mind.

Aside from the that cold.

I'm glad.

It'll pass. The weather is too humid for it to get worse.

Well, that's good. Let me know when you're better and maybe we can do something.

[ He hates lying, but if it means keeping Kenzi from involvement... ]

Alright.

[wisecracked]

[Yes, because she'd be out for blood if she knew someone hurt Gil.]

Awesome. See you around, Gilly.

[ It's too dangerous to go after the minotaur HJ alone, Kenzi.

AND HE SIGHS because nicknames. ]

... Yes, I'll see you around, too.

[Wouldn't stop her.

There's a little snicker before she hangs up.]
