Pepper heard the offer from another man and she squinted at his face carefully. Wait, she knew that face too, but she couldn't quite...
She wasn't going to accept a hand from someone who she couldn't be sure of, but then Anathema was moving her arm as she did up the sling, and Pepper grabbed the man's hand with her good one, squeezing as hard as she could manage, biting her bottom lip harder than was good for her. She was not going to scream. And she sure as hell wasn't letting her eyes water up either, so she blinked a lot to prevent it. She wished she were unconscious. It was probably more comfortable.
Blinking from him to John once or twice, she finally felt a piece snap into place. Looking at the man whose hand she held, she managed to press out, "Holden Caulfield?"
