phonecall Who: Lorne Cameron and Fletcher Charleston What: Brotherly sharing of information. When: Thursday evening.
-riiiiiiiing-
"Hello?"
"Hello, little brother. I learned something interesting about your employer today."
"Well this can't be good."
"Another list of names was released, apparently from the other side. His name was on it."
"Ethan? Ethan Shaw is on a list?"
"Yes."
"I suppose he should be happy he finally got nominated for something. Shite."
"I know you're working for him, but keep as much distance as possible. Camelot doesn't always care about collateral damage."
"That's easier said than done." -pause- "He's a decent guy, you know. A true Hollywood arsehole, but a decent guy."
"You don't have to justify whatever he's doing to me, Lorne. I'm just saying, I don't want you caught in the crossfire if they go in guns blazing."
"Point noted. I've had it with these fucking lists."
"As have I. They're doing the best they can to start this war again."
"The first one, the one you were on... One of Clem's friends was on it too. Someone shot her yesterday."
"I'm sorry to hear that. What's her name?"
"Claire Washington. Turns out she's with Camelot. I didn't know that before."
"It's starting to seem like everyone is involved in this shite. You're not, are you?"
"Not by choice, but it doesn't seem to matter. I know enough people who are, on all sides."
"Keep your head down. I've smuggled enough people out of the country to last a lifetime, I don't need to add you to that tally."
"You know, I'm not even going to ask about that. I'm probably better off not knowing. Don't worry, even if I was wanting to rush off to battle, I wouldn't know who to side with. They're all completely mad."
"Good. If this goes like last time, things are going to get ugly, and neither side seems to be fighting fair."
"You haven't gotten caught up in this again, have you?"
"No. There's a few friends that I'm lending a hand for, but I'm little more than a consultant."
"Not as good as a straight no, but I understand."
"It's better than it was, anyway." -pause- "I need to get back to Gemma. The others may be working on some kind of plan to deal with all this insanity."
"Good luck. Keep your head down. And thanks for letting me know about the bossman. I'll try to stay out of trouble."
