Beard nods and does so, requesting her to come there immediately too. He doesn't tell her the full story through text, just makes sure she knows it's about Ted missing and that they need to convince some people to take them seriously.
Once she texts back that she's on the way, he leans forward in the cab and places his hands over his mouth for a moment, trying to process.
He looks back at Joan, probably worried like hell, but barely showing it now.
He sits back and then gently places a hand on her shoulder. Ready to turn into a proper side-hug if she leans into it.
Beard doesn't hug people that much, but they're both missing Ted, the person most likely to dole out hugs, and he thinks they both probably need it. Besides, there's a limit to how much he can do for Ted, but at least he can make sure his girlfriend feels the same support he's always given Ted over the years.
