I remember thinking something like "Oh, what a shame." I wasn't very into Josef at this point. I was more worried about the affect it was going to have on Mick.
Mick goes to Josef's office to investigate. He enters with Tom, Josef's head security guy and Mick is asking what happened.
Tom says they're still puting the pieces together. Mick asks "Josef?". They haven't found any remains. Just ash. Tom says whoever did it brought an awful lot of firepower to take out just one man. They walk through the debris. Mick asks how the guy got in. Tom says he's been head of security for 5 years - there's no way anybody should have been able to get anywhwere near Josef's office.
We move across town (at least the transition makes it look that way) to Buzzwire. Beth is at her desk and is approached by Maureen.
When Maureen sees her still there she quips that is why she love her. Beth says she had to finish up some copy. She'd spent the morning at the hospital. Mo remembers Morgan and asks how she is. When told that she's still in pretty bad shape Maureen asks if anyone knows how she hurt herself.
Beth says no, Morgan is still unconcious.
Her boss tells Beth to cheer up and that she has something to take her mind off Morgan. She sits on the desk and pulls up a story on the computer. It's an explosion at a downtown office building. Terrorists?
No. Apparently the targe was a bigshot hedge fund trader. She pulls up a picture. Guess who!
Beth is shocked that it's Josef. She tells Maureen he's a friend of Mick's. Maureen quips that THIS is why she loves Beth.
Beth asks if Josef was there and is told that he was, no survivors. Maureen wants Beth to get a cameraman and get over there. Beth says she can't - this guy is a really good friend of Mick's. She's told to use that to show some vulnerability. Tracking says that women 18 - 34 find Beth a little harsh.
Maureen walks away and Beth is stuck with the assignment.
Mick is sifting through the rubble. He finds a blood vial that was used in the poker game. He sniffs at it. (Thine heart be still!)
He hears Beth come up behind him and tells her that it was poker night and that he was supposed to be there.
She says that she's so sorry. Mick is too. She asks who could have done it. They used fire so they likely knew Josef was a vampire. Mick says Josef had enemies. But this? Who could hate him this muhc? He sees the camera guy.
Mick looks confused and then annoyed. He questions Beth. That's why she's there? She's there on a story?
She trieds to explain that Maureen sent her. Mick doesn't want to hear it. He tells her to go away. Ouch.
Poor Mick. Do vampires get headaches?
She tries again to explain. They were going to send someone anyway, isn't it better it be her? Micks says his friend just died. He doesn't want to talk to her. Ouch again.
He then tells her that no, she should stay, get her story. She should do her job, he'll do his. And he walks away.
