It hadn't been the most clearly spelled out bit of information ever, but what Tahiri had heard on the radio this morning about certain people's office hours yesterday set off just enough of a bad-feeling-about-this vibe for her to head down to the bar and find Jaina.

"So," she said without preamble as she came in, "should I have a bad feeling about why someone we know isn't around this weekend?"

It was weird to say that about something that had happened years ago.
