Nenet's touch on his wrist was at once soothing and emotional. Jack took a steadying breath, nodding at her words. Feeling in control enough to make eye contact, Jack gave her a sad smile and said, "Thanks for letting me get that out. What you said helps a lot and I'm glad that we'll both have good memories of Bastiodon."[break][break]
His grief evaporated to rage again as Nenet shared her experience on the island. He couldn't imagine someone hurting his kind and thoughtful friend. Well, he could imagine one person - the masked Rocket who had tortured him on the island was just the sort of sadistic fuck who would do something like that and probably enjoy it. In the end, it wouldn't matter. "I'm sorry Nenet. I'll make them all pay," he said, pitching his voice low so that he would not be overhead by nearby patrons.[break][break]
He took another drink of his coffee, giving himself some time to put his thoughts together. He didn't know what to say next so he took the honest approach and hoped for the best.[break][break]
"That wasn't the only thing I wanted to talk with you about," he continued after a moment. "I haven't heard from Zev in awhile and I was getting concerned. When I went to Howling it was closed and his apartment looked empty." Jack didn't mention the mild breaking and entering that he and Isaac Merlo engaged in, hoping to spare her the painful details of how meticulously Zev Harcourt had erased the evidence of his existence.[break][break]
"I'm not sure if you've heard from him lately," Jack probed gently. He knew Nenet was probably hurting - Jack was hurting too. If he could get some closure for himself, some closure for Isaac, then this was the time. "But I wanted to make sure you were doing okay after whatever happened with him."
