(TXT to Joey) Byron: What the hell happened to the gym?
(TXT to Byron) Joey: It's a long fucking story. How's Lil doin?
(TXT to Joey) Byron: She's feeling a little ill. We all are I think. Feels like the flu.
(TXT to Byron) Joey: Yeah seems to be going around I heard. Vit C man. Kale. It's an unhappy plant. It soaks up the hate in your system and protects you or at least that's what that hippie dude told me
(TXT to Joey) Byron: I heard enough about that crap living in L.A.
(TXT to Byron) Joey: yeah I don't know it was worth dealing with to get laid but whatever
(TXT to Byron) Joey: If you run into Alexander careful man. He seems a lot fucking on edge
(TXT to Joey) Byron: Wait, what did Clayton do?
(TXT to Byron) Joey: I think he's zoomin on somethin. Be careful but don't let him swallow his own tongue or anythin. Mushrooms do not agree with him
(TXT to Joey) Byron: Thanks for the heads up.
(TXT to Alexander) Byron: Clayton.
(TXT to Byron) Alexander: ((No response.))
(TXT to Byron) Joey: Short story is I didn't lose anything too critical. I mean the ring's toast. I think a couple bags. Shit that I can replace. Structure seemed alright but there's no power right now so I'll see in the morning. Gonna talk to somenone about getting some shit replaced in short order.
(TXT to Byron) Joey: My life's in that damn building man. I'm beginning to sympathize with you over your apartments. Scary shit
(TXT to Isabella) Byron: Bella, I tried getting ahold of Clayton. No answer. I was told to be careful around him, because he might be on something. But I just have this feeling that he's the one possessed by Gohl. Being connected to Gohl's bones and all.
(TXT to Byron) Isabella: ((Phone call from Isabella.))
(TXT to Isabella) Byron: "Bella, did you get my message? Where's Clayton now?"
(TXT to Byron) Isabella: "He's at home. I just talked to him, but he hung up on me. Something about filling a bathtub..." ((Isabella sounds a little fuzzy.)) "The Captain's with him. What message?"
(TXT to Joey) Byron: Wait, did Alexander do that?
(TXT to Byron) Joey: Come up at me and set my gym on fire? yeah.
(TXT to Byron) Joey: I mean he is clearly having some fucking issues and I do not fucking know what his grievance is with me
(TXT to Isabella) Byron: (Byron sounds just as tired, but agitated as well) I'm not sure, I just got this sneaking suspicion. Wait. text message. Shit. Clayton set Kelly's Gym on fire. Kelly warned me to keep an eye on him, said he might be on something. I don't know for sure, but what if Clayton is being controlled by Gohl?
(TXT to Joey) Byron: I'll check to see what's up with the guy. If you need any help with the gym, let me know. I can help pay for repairs.
(TXT to Byron) Joey: Shit man I'll trade ya for that. I'm gonna see what insurance says first. Overall the damage is expensive but in teh end minimal
(TXT to Byron) Joey: If you do see him you can let him know I kept his name out of the police report.
(TXT to Joey) Byron: Why did you do that?
(TXT to Byron) Joey: Because fuck them that's why
(TXT to Joey) Byron: Haha. Alright.
(TXT to Byron) Isabella: "Wait, what? He...he didn't say anything about that, he said that he was feeling under the weather. Are you sure it was him? I mean, he's Joey Kelly and Alexander's been investigating..." ((Isabellay coughs, deeply and raspily, she sounds far away for a few minutes, as if she had kept the phone away from her.)) "....some aspect of Felix Monaghan's operations. What if Monaghan put him up to it? Are you sure it was Alexander?"
(TXT to Isabella) Byron: (Byron states flatly) "Joey Kelly wouldn't lie to me about this. Even said he didn't give up Clayton's name to the cops when they came snooping, because fuck the Police. But he said it was Clayton, so I'm sure it was Clayton.
(TXT to Byron) Isabella: ((The sound of springs creaking and a body dropping heavily on it.)) "Alright. Alright. Let me think." ((She falls silent for a long moment.)) "I picked the wrong time to get really sick." ((More coughing.)) But if that's true, that'd explain why the Captain's in Alexander's house, so chances are he's taking care of it already. As for being possessed by Gohl...how can that be? They said they have him in Itzhak Rosencrantz's violin case." ((Pause.)) "Has anyone heard from him?))
(TXT to Isabella) Byron: (Byron doesn't sound so hot either. There's weary harshness in his voice) "You're not the only one. Lilith and I seemed to have come down with something. Want me to call Captain de la Vega? Tried reaching out to Clayton already. Well, with one text message. I thought maybe you'd want your hand at trying. (It's near silent in Byron's room. Probably his office) I don't even know who that other guy is. Rosencrantz. So I've no idea.
(TXT to Byron) Isabella: "Are the two of you doing alright? Itzhak is...he's a..." ((Isabella clears her throat.)) "He's a friend of Alexander's. I've heard of him before I met him, he's a mechanic, and a violinist. He was the one who took a look at the tire tracks in front of my mother's house." ((She falls quiet as she thinks and she is coughing again.)) "Alexander cut the call I had with him rather abruptly and he seemed preoccupied with whatever he seems to be discussing with the Captain. I'll call him in a bit. But if you're in any way right, I should...I'll call you back, Ronnie. I need to call August. I'll call you if I reach him."
(TXT to Isabella) Byron: "Lilith went to pick up meds. She might be on her way here to drop some off with the guard at the gate" (There's some confusion at first, perhaps due to fever, but after some time, he seems to realize why a particular name was brought up) "Because Roen is Rosencrantz' friend? Sure. Keep me updated."
(TXT to Byron) Isabella: "Yes. And because he said in our last meeting he'll keep tabs on Itzhak and the case. But alright, keep me posted on the two of you two. I'll call back soon." ((And with that, Isabella hangs up.))
