					CHRIS
			Okay, my assistant was able to get 
			you a room at the Clift for the next 
			five nights.

					DAX
			You didn't have to do that.

					CHRIS
				(smiles)
			I know.  But I wanted to.
				(a beat)
			So what are your plans?

					DAX
			I still have to find my friends.

					CHRIS
			Well, I hope you don't mind, but I 
			had Britt do some checking.  No one 
			matching their descriptions has been 
			admitted into any of the City's 
			hospitals or trauma wards.

					DAX
			That's good news.

	There's an awkward beat between them.

					CHRIS
			Look, I'd like to know how this all 
			turns out.  I'm having a little get-
			together tomorrow, here in the office.  
			You're welcome to come if you want... 
			you and your friends.

					DAX
			I'd like that.

	Dax starts getting ready to leave.

					CHRIS
			Well, good luck.
