Phone Call
Who: Phineas Morland and Betty Peabody
What: After Betty got the message from Kyle that Frankie was shot.
When: Friday night
-ring ring-
"Hello?"
-two second pause, a quiet voice- "... Phin?"
"Betty?" -at first sounds relieved, then sounds worried- "What's wrong?"
-shaky breathing- "Hi, I'm, really sorry to call you at this hour, I know it's really late over there but... Phin, Frankie's been SHOT."
"Betty, you know I don't care when you..." -trails off as the news sinks in- "... Shot? Fucking hell, Betty. Is she - is she alright?"
-a soft sob- "I have no idea, I just got this message from Kyle and he hadn't gotten to the hospital yet but she was shot and it sounds like it wasn't an accident..."
"Where are you? Are you going to the hospital?" -hesitant pause- "Do you, er... do you want me to come with you?"
"... Yes. If you... wouldn't mind. I just have no idea if she's alright and Robin is freaking the FUCK out right now, understandably, and you know it's never good when both of us are unstable and I'm feeling like I might puke." -cuts off, inhaling sharply- "God, who the hell would DO something like this? ... Was it me? Do you think she got shot because of me? Who we're working for? I don't think i could handle it if it was."
"Betty. Take a deep breath, calm down, and listen to me. Whoever did this didn't do it because of you. Frankie is a very powerful woman from a very powerful family, and she had enemies long before you met her. This is not your fault, you hear me? Now. Tell me where you are, love. If you're going to puke, you're gonna need somebody to hold your hair back."
"Yeah, I know all that, but this is just too horrible of a coincidence and I just can't help thinking-" -cuts off- "Los Angeles. But I'm about to get on the MTN, so meet you in Las Vegas? If I'm going to hurl, I might as well help that along..." -exhales heavily- "Thanks, Phin... I... yeah, just... thanks."
"Las Vegas. Right. I'll be there soon. Don't leave without me, alright?"
"I won't. I'll meet you outside the Agency building, you know, in case I can't wait for you to get a hold on my hair."
"Well, better the bushes than the carpet, I s'pose." -a sigh- "Alright, I'm heading out now. Love you, Betty."
"Yeah... I... love you too, Phin. See you soon." -clicks-
