This is Ryuuzaki. I won't be able to make it to my shift safely. Will you be able to arrange other coverage?
[Hey, Petrelli, this is serious. He never misses a shift... but the elevators aren't working and there are things around and he may or may not be aware that Lucrezia seems a little too enthusiastic about that knife. He'll be stuck on his floor, and eventually in his room, until things settle down or his food and water stash runs out.
There isn't enough coffee there and he won't be sleeping, so he'll be emerging in a spectacular mood. But at least he'll be in one piece.]
