Alex had been off on a mission that was only supposed to last a couple days, but it ended up lasting a couple weeks. He wasn’t able to keep contact with you because it not only would have put him in more danger, it would have put you in danger and that was the last thing he wanted. He just got back to base, covered in sweat, dirt, and blood. He practically runs inside, looking around. Once he spots you he makes a beeline to through the swarm of people greeting him to get to you.
