(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Hello Detective.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Hello Jeri.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Apologies for not being around the last little while. I’ve been busy.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Would you like to do something tonight?

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Hey, no sweat. Pretty sure I understand busy, yeah?

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : What'd you have in mind for tonight?

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Out of anyone, you would understand busy. I agree.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : If the weather permits, I was thinking maybe we can take the stroll along the beach? Bring a small cooler with drinks and all that. I can pick you up?

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : And if the weather doesn't permit?

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Dinner and a movie at my place? I’ll cook, just let me know what you like.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : I like food that I don't have to cook. So anything you can make would be fine.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : It won’t be anything 5-star, but I can manage fairly well. It seems like we have a plan then.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : How’s work going today, Detective? Making a difference?

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Riding a desk while I read a bunch of fucking files. So...headache inducing.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : I can’t say that I envy you, Detective. At the moment I’m just fixing up one of my bikes.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : How many bikes do you have?

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Three is you count the piece of shit that’s nothing more than a frame and a mess of parts sitting in the shed right now. And my old man’s that I don’t ride, and is more of a memorial than anything.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Do you ride at all?

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Not at all. No.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : I can teach you sometime if you want.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Is it that hard to learn?

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Depends on how light you are and how balance sucks. Just have to find the right bike.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : I think I'll pass. I've seen motorcycle crashes before..not pretty.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Fair enough. Does that mean you don’t want to be picked up then? Lol

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : That's your only mode of transportation?

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Yes ma’am

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : I guess that'd be fine.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : I promise you that I actually know what I’m doing.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : I'm going to hold you to that. Georgie needs me.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Maybe one of these days I’ll get to meet little Georgie

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Maybe. Not any time soon. No offense, but I don't just introduce her to anyone.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : I get that, Detective. And I’m not in any rush to do so. So don’t you worry.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Right now, spending time getting to know you better and earning your trust is all I want.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : That's an uphill battle. Hope you're strapped in.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : Been fighting uphill battles my whole life, Detective. You know that.

(TXT to Charlie) Jericho : I’m not going anywhere.

(TXT to Jericho) Charlie : Alright.
