Richard needed this vacation, he needed it badly. Yeah, he was running out of town at an inopportune time, but he needed to recoup his sanity,and what better way than a little R&R? For all the city knew, he hadn't a clue of recenty tragedies. He'd come back in time, a few days "early" with Raphael in tow - a hero for ditching vacation. How caring. Standing on the suite's back terrasse, he rose the bottle to his lips after clinking his against the beer he'd handed to Raphael, "Bottoms up."
