Doug's wife had been at a conference. She had been feeling the various emotions coming from her husband, but as she had been presenting she could not exactly step away and deal with it.

She had a breather now.

What is it, Doug? And she used that moment to grab what info she could from Doug's mind. The link was open enough he could have seen what she had been doing. Get closer to Topher. I may need a bridge between us until I can get to the school.

Despite that, she was reaching out with her telepathy to Topher as she raced to her car. She would help him bulk up his shields as needed and help him get rid of what had built up.
