DP @Crick—He’s a nice young man. And he’s apparently very liberal.

Crick @DP—Liberal?

DP @Crick—He knows where you sleep.

Crick @DP—That was brave of you.

DP @Crick—You taught me everything I know.

Crick @DP—Bullshit. I model everything you taught me. DP @Crick—Go away. I have to find a space heater and a sleeping bag.

Crick @DP—Say it first.

DP @Crick—I love you, Carrick James. You make me proud every day. I miss you enough to scramble my brains—howzat?

Crick @DP—Incredibly humbling. Love you back. Crick out.

“Dammit, Deacon, you’re losing weight again!” Crick was appalled—it was their Christmas computer visit, this one landing square on Deacon’s birthday, and Deacon looked like hell. Deacon gave him a tired smile. “Sorry, Carrick. I… It’s been a rough month.”

“Where’s Benny and the baby?” Crick hadn’t realized until this very moment how much he’d wanted to see the baby smiling, active, in something besides the myriad twitpics that Deacon sent to him on a daily basis.

“They’re at the hospital, getting fluids—I’m sorry, Crick—I told you we were getting sick… it got bad this morning.” Deacon scrubbed at his face with a hand that shook so badly Crick could see it through the computer. Off range, a voice said, “Deacon, dammit….”

“He’s got a half-an-hour, Drew,” Deacon said with grim patience.

“I’m not going to waste it.”

Crick felt his helplessness at the far end of the world. It hit his chest like a posthole digger hit hardpan, and he got a terrible surge of fear and adrenaline. This must be how they worry about me all the time.

“What do you all have?” he asked, and he noticed that Deacon didn’t deny that he was just as sick as the girls.
