Re: facetime:connie/patrick
[The okay is familiar and soothing, and it keeps him from panicking. While she runs up to the empty rooms, he reminds himself that he's a cop that went through ranger training, and he isn't scared of some metal thing Webster left behind. So he gets really close to the thing, and his hand doesn't shake at all.]
Yeah, yeah, you're right. Webster was compensating with the size of his apparatuses. [Childish, but it does make him feel better to say it.] Maybe it's some broken thing that just snaps open when someone touches it. He'd love to make me piss myself by sticking something harmless in a box. Like a busted jack in the box. [Okay, we're back under control. He laughs.] Shit. I'm such an idiot. [He reaches for the thing again, and it curls up in his palm. Exhale.]
