The following morning, Xander said goodbye to his wife and daughter with a very lengthy and affectionate kiss, one that he prayed and wanted wouldn't be the last time he could give them a physical touch. After that, he gave them one last look and stared at them for an extended period of time before leaving the room. In addition to calling Neil, he did so when he was traveling to see Stephanie.
"Neil, I'm pleading with you, please take care of my wife and daughter, Kimberly." He cried. As he saw Stephanie in such a situation, the thought that he might not make it back to safety caused him to break down and cry. She lacked any sanity. He hopes that he can provide assistance to her without causing either of them any harm in the process.
"Xander, don't speak like that!" He protested, "You are giving me the creeps!"
