“Thanks.”

“You feel dizzy?”

Alan nodded. “Some.”

Lee straightened and shook his head. “Wow. Thank you. For cutting us free and…” he swallowed. “Just thanks.”

“No problem.” Troy patted Lee on the shoulder. “You guys wanna get your stuff together? We’ll arrange for a tow truck, but you won’t want to leave anything personal behind.”

“Fly you,” Steve said.

Alan gulped.
