Tommy was one of the closest things to a friend Dal had. Losing him was like a kick in the stomach. Just hearing the news punched the air right out of his lungs. It made working tough that first night after... Everyone was on edge and Dal spent most of the night like a limp fish. Muscle memory took care of everything he needed to do while his mind went blank. Besides that, most of these guys just wanted a quick fuck in their cars, so it didn't matter much if Dal was pretending to be into it or not.
To make matters work, his heart sank as he walked up the Chinese restaurant he lived above. All the doors were gated and locked. Looks like the owners were out of town again and conveniently forgot to tell Dal beforehand. Which meant the bag with his belongings was locked up inside, too. He thought about walking the rest of the way toward the shelter when the sky opened up and started pouring. Dal was already socked by the time he found an awning to hide under.
With shaking hands, he finally reached into his inside coat pocket to contact... Gabriel. That's the only person he could think of. He just hoped the guy was awake. It wasn't even quite four in the morning yet.
