Alice I swear to fucking Christ-


Hello, Mary. Please accept my apologies.

...

Excuse me? Who is this?

It doesn't matter. Pick a number. Literally any number.

Oh shit. Is this a hostage situation?

well I hadn't thought of it like that before

Why is something interesting always happening to you? Why can't I get hostaged for once?

that's kind of a weird thing to say about someone who's getting hostaged

HOSTAGED IS NOT A WORD.

PLEASE PICK A NUMBER.

Um.

Six?
Yeah, six.
