( She can do nothing when the SOS goes out but watch helplessly. Watch a friend be killed before her eyes by a god she liked, trusted - as clearly misguided as that was. The feeling hangs low and heavy on her shoulders, down her spine as she contacts Curufin and Nick. She knows where Glacius is, knows he'll be keeping tabs on Carlisle's location as swiftly as she's trying to organise this entire clusterfuck into something that keeps the clinic alive and safe and functioning.
But there are others she doesn't know the location of. Friends she wants to know are safe.
So, before she turns to the staff at large and tries to get things sorted, Kate dips further into the building and makes at least one more phone call.
Sure, she could just use the GPS, but-
She'd rather hear it from the Parakeet's mouth, so to speak. )
C'mon...
( Phones always take so long to dial, don't they? Especially when you want them to hurry up most. )
Where are you?
( Yeah. No hello. She's not good at that at the best of times, let alone when her voice is tinged with urgency that can't be held back.
For the love of gods she doesn't believe in, please be alright. )
( She doesn't need more. He's alright, even if the news of his location grows the stone of dread in her stomach, makes her wish for Carl's teleportation so she could more efficiently get around this city which - for the first time since she's been here - feels far too big to be with everyone she wants to know is safe.
The Clinic has to take priority. All she can do is trust him. )
Don- ( 't die.
For once those words don't feel right on her tongue, not with how bad the situation has quickly become. )
[Of course, he immediately started towards where the trouble was, after making sure the children were alright and that they knew not to answer the door to anyone.
Not that he thought the Null were going to knock.]
You too, Katie.
[He has no idea what he's going to find when he reaches the temple. He doesn't expect it's going to be anything good.]
( Her only response is a soft huff of amusement. Not quite laughter, because this isn't a laughing matter, but some dry response to the idea that she'll stay safe.
They're well past the point of that, sadly.
She'll find him later, when the clinic is gone and The Null are even more infuriating targets. )
