"Please bring a Healer. Level 1 priority." Conley explained in a simple code that meant he believed there had been another attack.

The message delivered the silvery Husky slowly disappeared.
You'd think, after years of receiving messages via patronus, that Jake would be used to this kind of thing by now. And he was, but they made him just a tad jumpy, especially as he seemed to be in a perpetual state of expecting bad news, and patronus messages seldom brought anything but.

He was sitting on his couch, flipping through a couple of files with a coffee in one hand, when the Husky arrived. Jake would have recognised it as belonging to Conley even before it spoke, but he was momentarily preoccupied. In a jolt of surprise, he'd sloshed coffee out of the mug and directly (and mercifully) onto his leg, and yelped. More out of surprise than anything; the coffee wasnt all that hot anymore.

Having heard the message, Jake swore loudly (at his regular frequency), set his mug down, and waved at the paperwork to set it filing itself securely away. He stood, and strode briskly for the door. Healer, then, and he'd grab someone on hand from his own department on the way down as well.
