Doug looks at Tina. She moans softly. He lovingly brushes a lock of hair behind Tina's ear then begins to hum a lullaby-type melody. He carries the tune in ways that tell us he has sung it to her a thousand times before. Only now he sings alone: in his look he wills her to join in. She sits stone-faced.

Warren sits at a counter stool, wet from the rain, his backpack leaning against the stool next to him. A waitress brings him a cup of coffee. He tries to tear open the small foil covering on a coffee creamer, with no luck. He persists and digs in his nails. The creamer bursts. His shirt is now covered with cream. He drops his head and makes a half-hearted attempt to wipe off the stains. JOIE MOREAU, 25, walks up to him. She looks like a leprechaun with attitude: a shock of green hair, a black leather jacket. She moves his backpack to the side and plants herself down on the stool to Warren's right. She sees the stains and merely smiles. She opens a creamer effortlessly and pours it into Warren's coffee. She takes a spoon and stirs the coffee, taps it on the rim, then puts the spoon down.

A scrupulously neat workshop, with every nut and bolt in its place, every tool hanging neatly on a hook. God's Arrow is wearing a handyman's apron, humming to the classical music piped in over the stereo speakers. He is lean, with choir-boy looks. He is clearly a methodical, meticulous individual. He adds the final touches to a bomb.
