+After he had sent the text to Silent he called Nathaniel and waited as the mans cell phone rang until he heard Nate answer the line.+
"Hey Nate, it's Geller." +Waiting for that to sink in he added.+ "Listen, I hear there's been some crazy shit coming down on your end. We've known each other awhile so I'm calling you as a heads up before other people get involved. If there's something going on....something you need help with....you should let me know."
+Nate had wanted to do his own thing in New Orleans so Geller had given him space to do it. Calling him now was not intended as a way to invade the mans personal space, but rather see if there was something going on that he needed help with. Eventually Silent and the others would be tired of waiting and try to discover for themselves what Lorissa had seen, and Geller hoped that by finding out sooner they would avoid some trouble down the road.+
"If you want to talk in person I could always just come by."
Nathaniel was alerted to a phone call, his cell phone stuck in his pocket on vibrate. He had been bathing Zack's forehead and cheeks with the compress, in an attempt to halt the raging fever raking his brain over the coals. He answered, pressing the buttons of his Motorola Cliq. On the screen he saw it was Geller. Bad news certainly traveled fast didn't it?
His voice sounded deep, like he'd recently cried. But he had it all together right? His shop was in fucking shambles downstairs, and Zack had been bitten by a rogue werewolf. Cullen had abandoned them. Everything was just fucking dandy on his end. With as much strength as he could muster, his voice was heard on the line.
"Shalom. This is Nathaniel." he said, lifting from Zachary's side. He motioned to Owen that he was taking the phone call outside of the bedroom, so the doctor could tend to Zack's wounds. The bedroom door was slid silently closed behind him, and Nathaniel did miss the table in the hall that had given his baby toe a bruise earlier.
"Shalom....Geller. How did you find out about what's happening here?" he asked. "I have called the insurance company for the damages Lorissa made to my shop. Zack has been infected by the bite of a wolf, but Dr. Connors is here, and we have the situation under control. As for Cullen, he had departed New Orleans. Otherwise, I think we have everything handled. Unless you wish to come by and, check things out for yourself?"he said, hiding the emotion in his voice.
He'd been through hell and back all in a span of two weeks. Never a dull moment with Nathaniel, it seemed. Now he suddenly hears from Geller after the clusterfuck of a meeting with Silent. It had been that long since his friend Geller had spoken to him. Yet, he harbored no ill will towards him. They should know that he meant no one any harm. He would like to break someone's ass though. Just because. "Please hold. Geller."
Opening the door for some air, he was met by yet another gift giver for Zack. The first had been flowers and a card, from Joseph, but the second was lilies and a Get Well Bear. With a wave of his hand, he signed the release form, and was given the gifts for Zack. He read the message, but the sender didn't leave a name. Nate's brain was tired and he needed a fucking cigarette. Back to the phone he went. "Are you coming over? If you are I live at 1444 St. Charles Avenue, in the Garden District. See you then." he ended the call, then lit up one of his Djarums.
+Geller listened to what Nathaniel had to say as he locked the door to the house and climbed into his car. The whole situation was a mess and he wondered why no one was trying to figure out the obvious answer missing from this pool of insanity. Who was the wolf that had infected this human? That was the real problem on Geller's mind as he closed the door to the Caddy and started up the engine.+
"Yeah Nate, I'll be right over. Just hang in there."
+Putting the car in gear he pulled away from the curb and headed towards the address that Nathaniel had given him. It would take a bit to get there in traffic, but he was on the way. Hopefully the situation was as stable as Nathaniel said, though the emotion in the other wolfs voice made it sound like there was more going on than met the eye.+
