"Pick up. Pick up pick up pick up pick up..."

[jarodpretends]

"Hello?"

[mparkerceo]

"Uh. Hi."

[jarodpretends]

Jarod checked his phone. "Parker?"

[mparkerceo]

"Yes." A looong pause. "Okay, I wouldn't be calling if it weren't important, you realize that."

[jarodpretends]

"I didn't set you on fire, and I don't know where you are, so I can't put you out," he answered immediately.

[mparkerceo]

"Bite me," Parker said, then growled to herself, and said, "No, don't... bite me." She sighed, muttering under her breath, then said, "I need you to bring me money. To Baltimore. Please?"

Her teeth were definitely grinding.

[jarodpretends]

Money? When had Parker ever come to him for money? "Why?" Jarod smirked, expecting this to be good.

[mparkerceo]

"Can't you just do this without asking why?"

[jarodpretends]

"Nope."

[mparkerceo]

She took a moment to strangle the phone, then took a deep deep breath.

"There was a small... problem. At the bar. And now, I need five thousand dollars. And I don't have my purse."

[jarodpretends]

"Sounds like a pretty big problem," he said blandly, already trying to figure out which account of the Centre's to raid for the money.

[mparkerceo]

"It's a misunderstanding. And not our fault." Parker was definitely stalling. "It's just-- they set bail and anyone else I'd call is either broke or in jail with me."

[jarodpretends]

"You're in jail?" Jarod didn't get any further than that because he was laughing too hard.

[mparkerceo]

"Shut. Up." She waited. "Okay, it isn't that funny!"

[jarodpretends]

"You should be on this end of the phone," he snickered.
