Musings

[Locked to D Wallace]
I admit that meeting went spectacularly wrong. Anything on the man with the butter knife?

[Locked to B Thorne]
I believe I liked you better when you weren't altruistic.

[After the EIT meeting.]

What the hell happened? Where are you? Eli texted me.

[After this. Probably the following morning--at around ten, because he knows Blake doesn't have reason to roll out of bed until late in the day.

Ring.]

Lot 3 seeking Bidder 50. Don't leave me hanging, sweetheart.

We never got a chance to finish our oh so interesting conversation last time. I thought it a shame since it seemed to have such wonderful possibilities.

Perhaps you'd like to continue?

Ready to kiss and make up yet?

Have we sufficiently recovered from the awkwardness of dollar drinks to talk, or no?

[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.

[call to p. rawlings]

[The call is made first to Anton Sparke's office when Blake realizes he doesn't have his cell number. The office redirects him to Preston's number.]

[locked to p. worth]

Please don't tell me that my favorite financial manager has been devoured by cannibals.

So, how did chasing your high school friend go?
