"I'm fine," Alex said firmly. "I've..." Shit. If he didn't know that Alex was here, he wouldn't remember his time in the city. "I've been here for a while. Either something's not quite right with time or... Or there are a lot of theories about what's really going on here." And none of them mattered until they figured out what was outside of here.

"Kyle's here, too. He's probably hanging around the party somewhere."

"Better question. When in the hell did you get here?" Back. When did he get back? Presumably just now. During the influx of new people that Alex had been forced to miss because of the pool party. "Are you okay?"

Alex knew firsthand that new wasn't always safe, even if he knew Michael could take care of himself.
