Luckily, Matt was only looking absently at some ice cream and Mohinder's thoughts were unreadable in his sleep.
He was about to mention going up for a shower when the phone rang on the kitchen table.
Peter looked expectantly at Matt. Noah had come through after all. And weren't they lucky they had Peter? Decontamination could literally be teleported into if they were careful enough. Noah had pulled some strings but he and the Company were only very tentatively working together.
