I7: If or "Danny and Roddy's Family"

...from H7:
That was all he heard the first time. It took him two full replays to get through the rest of the details, zombie out of his office and down to the street outside, and dial Becca's number on his phone.

"Becca? It's Dan."

Even now, it stung. Roddy had introduced Danny as "Dan" when they'd all met for the first time. Even though Danny had coughed out a nervous correction, in Roddy's family's eyes, "Dan" had stuck. More appropriate, he was sure.

"Danny...." she managed, before breaking into sobs. If he'd had an ally amongst the Baker's, Becca had always been the one.
