Buttoning up her blouse, She shook her head "No, my Amulet is inert now, too. It's all explained in the letter. Read it, we don't have time anymore - Mike's about to lose patience and come over here. Grab that stuff and hide in the shower, you can finish dressing later."

I promise whatever the problem is I'll listen and do what I can "“ I won't be mad!"

Mike seemed to pause, but then said "all right... you're OK, though? It sounded like you were talking in here, and you sounded a bit upset."
Nick heard his other self's voice trailing away "I had to make a quick call, just to clarify a few things myself... but it's all gonna be OK".
