(TXT to Itzhak Ruiz August) Alexander : August, let me calm you. Better than Xanax.

(TXT to Isabella) Alexander : Sorry I didn't come back to the house, yet. Ignacio DeSantos got hit by a bus. At the hospital with August. Looks like August is texting Itzhak and the Captain, so they know.

(TXT to Alexander Itzhak Ruiz) August : fine. go ahead. cheaper too.

(TXT to Finch) August : <info on where they're waiting> drive careful it's icy out there.

(TXT to August Alexander Itzhak) Ruiz : Fucking hell, I just caught it on the police radio. I'm going to go find Finch immediately.

(TXT to Finch) Ruiz : Mija, where are you? Your boy's hurt, I'm coming to pick you up.

(TXT to Ruiz) Finch : I'm home getting some clothes on. I was in bed. What the hell happened? Gran is really upset.

(TXT to Finch) Ruiz : Be there in a few. We'll talk on the way to the hospital.

(TXT to Ruiz) Finch : RIght, I'll be waiting on the porch.

(TXT to Finch Alexander) August : not for nothing but having Alexander tweak my head did wonders. I almost don't feel like running from the building.

(TXT to August Finch) Ruiz : Tweak your head? Dare I fucking ask?

(TXT to Ruiz August) Finch : Probably calmed his shit. August doesn't like hospitals. Are you almost here, Dad?

(TXT to Finch August) Ruiz : Fuck's sake, I have to pull over every time someone messages me. Hold your goddamn horses.

(TXT to Finch Ruiz) August : you pull over to answer a text? red lights are red for a long time.

Ignacio has, for all people know, been admitted and is being worked on like a human meat puzzle presently.

(TXT to August Finch) Ruiz : Don't you give me lip, old man

(TXT to Ruiz August) Finch : BOTH OF YOU STOP TYPING SHIT AND GET ME TO IGGY!

(TXT to August Finch) Ruiz : (crickets for a few minutes and then) I'm parked outside. Brought you coffee.

(TXT to Ruiz Finch) August : look in all seriousness who would pull you over for distracted driving? literally no one.

(TXT to August Finch) Ruiz : Oh my fucking god, have you forgotten I am literally a cop?

(TXT to Ruiz August) Finch : All right, I'm taking his phone now. Phone being taken so he can fucking drive me to the hospital. I am taking your phone when I get there, Roen. GODDAMIT

(TXT to Ruiz Finch) August : that's my point! also you have to catch me doing it, good luck with that one. (this is for when she inevitably gives you your phone back.)
