Daniel's departure obviously wasn't intentional, but there's nothing much Johnny can do about it, and he won't pretend it doesn't make his life a little bit easier. He sighs and picks up the pace a bit to get to Gabe's building, letting himself in and heading up the stairs. His phone starts buzzing in his pocket - probably Gabe wondering where the heck he is - so he shifts his groceries to one hand and digs it out.

It's Mako, oddly enough. He glances toward her apartment as he gets up to their floor, but she probably wouldn't be calling him if she were in. He keeps moving up to Gabe's, answering the call and lifting the phone to his ear.

"Hey," he says, reaching Gabe's door and shouldering it open. "What's-"

Oh. Mako's... here. Probably calling him at Gabe's behest.

And Gabe is on the floor now.

Excellent.

"I was gone for like twenty minutes, tops," he says, immediately shutting off the phone and sliding it back into his pocket. He sets his bags down on the coffee table and moves over to Gabe. Either Mako just happened to come up at the wrong moment or Gabe was desperate enough to call for her help - either way, poor Mako - but he'll see to her in a second. "Come on, you big baby, get up."
