DREW: | This is Drew on the radio, looking for Derek. Derek, are you out there? Over. |
DREW: | Derek, if you're out there, switch to channel six. Over. |
DEREK: | Fuck. Shit, is this channel six? Can you hear me? |
DREW: | Yeah, I can hear ya. |
DEREK: | Great. Well, I'm here. |
DREW: | I had a question, about those Sevens you were talking about. Where's the tattoo? |
DEREK: | On the wrist, usually. Guess they could get creative and change it, but all the ones I saw were there. |
[Silence] | |
DEREK: | Why? You see somebody with it? |
DREW: | No, but Molly might've. |
DEREK: | Fuck. She okay? |
DREW: | Yeah, she's fine. Apparently she made a visit to that survivor's group and a man with a kid had a seven on his wrist. She called him out on it when he was giving her a ride home and he booted her out of the car. Over. |
DEREK: | Goddammit. |
[Silence] | |
DEREK: | I've been over there a couple times. Hired me to do some work. |
DREW: | Have you seen anyone else with the same tattoo? |
DEREK: | No. Only these guys. I haven't met anyone in the group who has one. |
[Silence] | |
DREW: | Keep an eye out. I'm thinking of maybe coming by and talking to the two from the meetup I went to and see what they know about everybody who lives there. Over. |
DEREK: | Believe me, anybody comes near with a tattoo like that and we're going to have a fucking problem. But yeah, that's not a bad idea. I'd talk to Jed. The Hispanic, Alice, she's kind of touchy. Over. |
DREW: | Yeah? He was kind of a dick when I met up with him. |
DEREK: | I tried to warn her about the Sevens and she thought I was going to attack her or something. It was really fucking weird. |
DREW: | Sounds weird. Maybe she's just scared or somethin'. |
DEREK: | Must've been. I didn't do shit to her. |
DREW: | Well, this is Crazytown now. That's why I keep out of the streets most days. |
DEREK: | Tried that. Now I'm over with that group every day doing some building. |
DREW: | Even after all that? |
DEREK: | She stays away from me and it's not a bad way to earn supplies. Girl named Sam hired me to do it. |
DREW: | You fixin' to stay? |
DEREK: | Not right now. I'm not going to go sing kumaya with a buncha white folks unless I know a hell of a lot more about them than I do now. I'm fine on my own. Over. |
DREW: | You kill me, man. |
[Silence] | |
DEREK: | Okay. |
DREW: | Keep me posted on how things work out, yeah? I might end up runnin' into you if I come by. |
DEREK: | I'll keep an eye on things. |
DREW: | Good talkin' with ya, man. Catch ya later. Over and out. |
