Luke is scheduled to meet with the police and prosecutor's office on Monday at 10 am, at Thomas, Inc. Our lawyers will all be in attendance, and you will both be required to make your statements at that time. I believe the public defender is eager to cut a deal, and it might be best to avoid a trial, if the terms are agreeable. They have, of course, requested all evidence. I provided it to the best of my knowledge.

The company holiday gifts have been purchased, as they are every year. The press has been barred from passing Aubade's gates, and you and Luke may return at any time that he is able.

	I was leaving that to you. If you would rather I speak to him, I shall. How are you holding up, Thomas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's nothing wrong with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course. Is talking to Luke about what happened proving to be a challenge? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He says he will be fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I see. And your holiday shopping? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 04:53 am UTC (link)
	For what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 05:14 am UTC (link)
	For your family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 06:06 am UTC (link)
	You need something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 06:13 am UTC (link)
	Yes. I require you to take your AmEx Black and visit a store, perhaps an online one if you're more comfortable doing so, and I require you to purchase presents for your son. And, no, a gift card will not suffice. Also, his friends have sent him a get well gift, and I recommended he have them visit once he is back in Aubade. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What does Luke need? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 06:17 am UTC (link)
	What does he like, Thomas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 07:11 am UTC (link)
	Video games. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 07:21 am UTC (link)
	That is a good start. Ask him which ones he would like. You could get something for Oracle, as well. She likes electronics. And Roger, but you know him better than I. And, of course, jewelry always works well with women. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 07:27 am UTC (link)
	He doesn't need more video games. Roger? [What the hell does Roger want?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 07:28 am UTC (link)
	The holidays are not about things one needs, Thomas. They are about frivolous wants you wouldn't spend money on yourself. And they are about showing affection. Mainly the latter. And, yes, Roger. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 07:37 am UTC (link)
	I don't spend money on frivolous things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 07:39 am UTC (link)
	Do you wish to make the people you care about happy, Thomas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 07:41 am UTC (link)
	They don't want money. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 07:47 am UTC (link)
	No. They want to know you cared enough to pick something out that expresses your feelings for them. It isn't about the money, Thomas. It's a way to tell them you care without having to say the words, picking something thoughtful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 07:51 am UTC (link)
	I can't express things with things. ~~Please don't make me do this.~~ You pick out something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 07:53 am UTC (link)
	This is the first year since we have known each other than you have people in your life that you care about. I would be doing you a disservice by doing as you ask, and I would never do you a disservice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 08:00 am UTC (link)
	Just put my name on it like you do with the other gifts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 08:08 am UTC (link)
	At the risk of losing my employment, no. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bystealth 2010-12-18 08:13 am UTC (link)
	[...] I will if I have time. [End of discussion.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	iquakewithfear 2010-12-18 08:15 am UTC (link)
	Of course. And while you are trying to decide if you have time, think of those sad faces on Christmas morning if you do not. It is good practice for playing St. Nicolas in the future, Thomas. (Reply to this) (Parent)
