"He's, uh..."
Kodi looked up at Alexis, who was looming over her in the cramped end of the hallway. "What?" she asked. "Who?"
The woman jerked her head back in the direction of the faint voices filtering through the walls. "Drake. He's doing alright. Kind of...different, though."
Kodi squinted at her. "...I'm trying to understand you. Really. But I have zero idea what you're saying."
Alexis rubbed the back of her bald head with a sigh. "I mean Drake's been off the last few days ever since Bishop's been riding our asses harder than usual. But all of a sudden, he's doing okay again."
"And that's a bad thing?"
"No. Just, uh, he's not usually a quick study like that. His best progress is always early in the morning after he's had some time to sleep on whatever's getting him stuck."
