234 King, I don't know if you have a way to reach out to a fire over at dispatch since they're pretty busy right now. But, I just had a 101 come up to me. She said her friend Mike, also another transient, sleeps in there. She hasn't seen him come out or anything, so she's just a little worried. If you can just let them know, there might have been somebody. Okay.
