(| cut the seventeenth :: LOCKED to Nick

[vanderfleet]

Hey, hun?

Just givin' you a heads up, I might not be visitin' fer a while ...

Comments

[ponchotexas]

[huff] Kinda a had a feeling this was coming...

[vanderfleet]

Yeaaah ...

We've gotta talk 'bout somethin' when things clear up a bit, though.

[ponchotexas]

Kinda figured that, too.

Fer the record? Aside from Greggo's epic proposal the other night, things have really been sucking lately.

[vanderfleet]

You said it, hun.

I'll keep in touch as much as I can and check up on you and Hail via the D-Comm.

And I'll start this now. How're you and CSI junior?

[ponchotexas]

Er...

Hailey... kinda locked herself in her room...

[vanderfleet]

... any idea why?

[ponchotexas]

She went to see Danny at the hospital yesterday... that's about all I know.

If she's not out on her own by dinner time I'm breakin' the damn door down. She can't hide in there forever, whatever the reason may be.

[vanderfleet]

Mm ... yeah.

Keep me updated? I don't think she'll keep it all in fer long. She's an honest kid. Stubborn as hell, but honest.

[ponchotexas]

I will. Hell knowing the comms you might even hear something before I know to tell you.

[vanderfleet]

Yeah.

... This is gonna be real hard, hun. The not visitin', I mean.

[ponchotexas]

I know. We gotta, though. Greater good an' all that.

[vanderfleet]

Yeah, I know.

Be careful, y'hear? These're dangerous times. I don't wanna hear anythin' about you or Hailey or any of the family gettin' hurt, understand me?

[ponchotexas]

Didn't plan on it.

Same goes for you, though.

[vanderfleet]

I know. I love ya, Nicky. Give Hail lots of hugs fer me when you get her outta her room.

[ponchotexas]

Heh. Will do. Love you too, Faith.
