	Hey, Nathan. [Lamely, trying not to sound awkward.] It's Billy. [Short pause, wherein he corrects to a name that is more familiar.] Harrison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I thought that was you. It's been a while. How you doing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Really good, thanks. [With total innocent enthusiasm. Like he was going to sound as tired as he felt on the phone with somebody who would tell Pierce all about it. Maybe there was a chance Nathan didn't know the calendar Pierce had appropriated, the one with the physio dates and the nurse visit times and the med schedule... Billy decided it didn't matter.]

So uhm. I wondered if I could ask you for a favor. [So he might have stretched the truth to Simon about having someone owe him something. So what?]

	Great to hear. Favor? Sure, what is it? [anything for bestest buddy's only son.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Relieved, as if he'd just asked Nathan to off somebody that he owed money to.] A friend of mine is stranded at the airport. LAX. I thought maybe you could send somebody to pick him up...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not too far from there right now - I'll go get him myself. What flight's he in on? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks, Nathan. I owe you one. [Slight awkward pause.] He's in departures. Changed his mind about going. His name is Simon, Simon Erikson. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No problem. All right, I'll be there in about 20 minutes, maybe a little more. Tell him to wait outside, I'll grab him - what's he look like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He gives a description a go, height and weight, shaggy hair.] I'll tell him you're coming. Thanks again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sure thing. [and off he goes.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
