Cozumel was about three thousand miles away from Fandom, so Kathy had no idea that there were storms or sharks about. She was sitting on the white, sandy beaches of Mexico, sipping her...somethingth...glass of sangria and reading reading an e-book series about a half-fairy knight who solved mysteries with her cat-prince lover.
It was better than it sounded, shut up.
Every so often, the waiter assigned to the private beaches would swing by to bring her more glasses of sangria (which was how she's lost count of the number she'd had) and clear away the empties (making it impossible to keep track). He'd appreciated that she spoke to him in Spanish and was polite with her requests and so sometimes also brought bowls of fresh fruit for her to snack on while she lounged in the sun.
Basically, this vacation was the best thing ever and exactly what she'd needed. And she was going to continue to enjoy the peace and relaxation until her phone beeped with a text from Raven.
lukes got trashed in sharkicane. apt probly uninhabitable. finding new shelter will update later
"WHAT?!"
[For the boy, the roomie, or anyone else who wants to call!]

It's Hardison's plan, you know it'll work!
Parker had touching faith in Hardison's Science Chops.

THEY HAD DESTROYED HER HOUSE!

..at home. Where you guys can stay while we fix Luke's.
The guys were probably going to insist on that for a while, yeah.

You could explain to Eliot why he needed a passport to visit his daughter.
