[The toast pops, and Ajax quickly plates all their food before carrying it over to the table. He sets his plate down, and then comes over to place hers in front of her, planting a small kiss to the top of her head.]

[It wasn't the news he wanted to give her, his voice reflecting how he feels. This wasn't what he was expecting, given how informed the Volkov network is. Ajax sits heavily down next to her, idly taking a piece of bacon and taking a bite. Thinking about it almost makes him lose his appetite.]

To think that they could disappear without a trace, it's unheard of. Everyone leaves tracks. [He sighs. Thinking out loud like that surely isn't helping.] Sorry. We're still looking, and we'll find him.
