As we are pulling into the resort parking lot, Kael's phone rings. He glances at the caller ID and asks me if it is okay if he takes the call. Of course, I nod my head.
"Sir?" says a familiar voice. Walt… whose voice is that? Why do I recognize it?
"Joey. What's up?"
Joey, Joey, one of my bullies Joey? Why is he calling Kael?
"I have kept Sheila distracted, Sir. But she is getting restless. Have things been… relaxing… on your end?"
