Phone calls & Emails
[All from Preston's business number. Caller ID enabled.]

[Phone message to W. Lowell's UofW phone.]
Hello Mr. Lowell, this is Preston Rawlings, we spoke briefly on [...] regarding suits several weeks ago. I'm not sure if you remember. [The message begins business-like but veers into uncertain.] I'd like to speak to you about a [...] similar matter. Please give me a call. [His work cell number. Disconnect.]

[Phone call to E. Pride]
Ring.

[Phone call to B. Thorne]
Ring.

[Email to T. Brandon: A generic sympathies missive and a relatively generous donation to his Charities in P. Worth's name. No reply is expected or given.]

[Email to all Sparke Industries employees. After the appropriate header, from asparke@sparkeindustries.com--a mask email that Preston uses to send business email in the CEO's stead. Some may know this, some may not.]

We understand this is a difficult time for our Seattle-based community. If you are unable to work at this time, please let us know of your need for leave (which will be granted regardless of accumulated time given the state of emergency) or your notice of termination. Hoping that all of you are safe.

	Mr. Rawlings? This is Dr. Lowell. Will. From the forums? I received your message. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Return Phone Call to P. Rawlings theviola 2011-01-11 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Oh, doctor. [Pleased, even relieved, to hear from him.] Thank you for getting back to me. Are you well, after...? [Nobody knows what to call the zombie apocalypse.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[An awkward little pause] Things were touch-and-go for a while, but I've emerged on the other side unscathed. Nothing a few days of intense sleep and staying out of the lab won't cure, I believe. And yourself? [Still uncertain why Preston is calling.] Are things alright in your corner of the world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Return Phone Call to P. Rawlings theviola 2011-01-11 03:10 am UTC (link)
	I'm managing, yes. [Preston doesn't need too much time to get to the point.] I'm sorry to bother you after your ordeal, but I wanted to find out what your conclusions were after your ad-hoc research. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Return Phone Call to P. Rawlings mariphasa 2011-01-11 03:48 am UTC (link)
	Oh, it's alright. I don't mind. Though I actually ended up going to a department store and getting something that's probably awful to anyone with any sense of fashion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
