Summary
Not even thinking about the time, he moves over to the Phone app and hits June’s contact before bringing the phone up to his ear with a shaky hand. He hadn’t even realized it started trembling again. It rings about four times before June answers, voice creaky. June has clearly been sleeping, and Alex only feels a little bad because the building panic wins out.
“Alex? What the hell? Is everything okay?” June asks when Alex doesn’t say anything, just breathes heavily into his phone’s mic.
“June.” His eyes well up with tears at the familiar voice. “I don’t know what’s going on.” Turns out he needs his sister in every fucking universe. Alex moves back toward the stove to work on the drink to distract himself as the kid watches him carefully. He knows where he’d keep the saucepans if it were up to him, so that’s the first drawer he tries, and sure enough.
There is rustling on the other side, June probably sitting up in bed. “Hey, can you tell me what’s happening?” Her voice is softer now than when she’d answered, the one she uses when Alex is really upset or spiraling into a panic attack. And maybe he is. Fuck.

Summary
Alex gets the call at 7:57am.
It’s from an unknown number, so he answers it with an accent on his tongue and laughter in his throat, ready to troll the scammer for all they’re worth. But the voice on the other side of the line is serious, solemn, when she asks, “Is this, I apologize, all I’ve been given are initials, AGCD?”
He frowns, turning away from the coffee shop he’d been about to enter. “Who’s asking?”
There’s a moment of hesitation on the other end. “There’s been an incident. On the individual's phone, there’s a sticker. It says, if found, return to AGCD, alongside this phone number. Does it sound familiar?”
Alex freezes in the middle of the sidewalk. “What kind of incident?”
--
Or, Henry's been in an accident.

Inspired by that video of a man coming out of surgery and saying he hit the jackpot when he married his wife. Super fucking cute.
