"Love...just please call be back when ya can, kay? I really love ya." he heard Fergus whisper lovingly and  tad pleadingly into the phone, before hurriedly hanging up on hearing the door creak open. "Ooh...an' who're we talkin to in such a secretive tone, eh?" Campbell teased, setting the snacks down on the desk. "None o' yer business! I mean...uh, Mr. Branson." Fergus lied, hiding the identity of the real person. "An' d'you always tell Mr. Branson that ya loooove im?" his mate teased further, causing him to turn beet red. "He won't even tell us who it is. Anyway, thanks for the snacks, by the way, Mr. B!"  Jason interrupted, stuffing his mouth with biscuits as he spoke and ate simultaneously.

If you're wondering, Eddie and Francine had moved to some remote island near Bora-Bora soon after their wedding, having fallen in love with the place during their honeymoon and since they both preferred to live in isolation, had settled there. He ran a famed radio station from the island where he spoke out on the atrocities committed by hospital staff on inmates and patients and was considered a philanthropist due to his generous donations to charities and to mental asylums. Occasionally he advertised the local window shutters business on it too. They'd also started their own charity after their 16 year old son, Rowan's death in a surfing accident.
