[Henry picks up on the second ring, like he always does.]

Hello, Travis.

[justhitjackpot]

Where is she.

[wearecowboys]

[He knows exactly who you're talking about and knew where she was going and where she'd been for the entire time she's been here ever since meeting her at the S-Mart. Tailing her? What? Don't be silly...]

Not in town, that's for sure.

[justhitjackpot]

Fuck.

[In the background, some pages are flipped. He's going through the phonebook looking for her name for what must be the 10th time.]

Her name's not in the phonebook.

[wearecowboys]

[He sighs]

I know, I already checked. So you can put that book away now.

[justhitjackpot]

[There's a sigh and another swear and he closes the phonebook shut.]

[wearecowboys]

Worried?

[justhitjackpot]

Hell no.

[Worried out of his mind.]

[wearecowboys]

She'll be fine. If anything, she's probably a lot stronger than what either of us can imagine.

[justhitjackpot]

...guess the plot armor should be strong enough. She's more likely to show up in No More Heroes 3 than you or me.

[wearecowboys]

The chances of that ever happening is slim at best, but I agree. She is the constant.

[justhitjackpot]

Yeah...

[Travis trails off. He's...not really sure what to say to Henry.]

What about us, then?

[wearecowboys]

[Henry takes note of the awkward silence...but that's all he does. /SHRUG]

Who knows? To be honest, I think we had a good run. We'll may be replaced.
