[Calling Toni]

"This is easier, then."

"Much easier, thanks."

"No problem. What are you going to do about Operation Salt?"

"I'm gonna have to force Jughead into it, make him take over the phone instead of just tossing it at someone else. Also bribe Fangs. Maybe become Kevin's slave for a while."

"If you want I... you could send me a phone, you know."

"You really want to get involved in this?"

"Not really, but I'm taking pity on you."

"Pity? What could be pitiful about me."

"I don't need to see you to know you're pouting."

"I'm not pitiful."

"You sound like a child."

"Ok, fine. My hair is a mess. I'm not pleased about it."

"Baby."

"If you really wanna take over a phone... I mean, it's your choice."

"It should be interesting."

"It's distressing, Cher."

"Anything to appease the pouting baby girl."

"Haha, fine, ok. Thanks, Bombshell."

"No problem. Are you still in the hospital?"

"Yeah, I go back to school at lunch. I don't even have to go to class."

"There's always a bonus."

"Yeah, but my right arm is the shit arm. I can't even write things. I can't doodle."

"You can't what?"

"Doodle. Oh my god, draw. I can't draw."

"Don't get exasperated with me. You said doodle."

"You're meant to be the mature one."

"Am I? What a shame."

"OH! I forgot to mention: the fabled Ky is attending to me."

"No, really?"

"Uh huh. Wow, dude, we might be next door neighbours and we don't even know it yet."

"I will have to send you an address to mail that phone."

"I promise I won't make any surprise appearances. I'll just watch you from the backyard."

"Just be subtle about it. Are you all good for Saturday, or...?"

"Oh. Uh. I should be fine, I mean, it's not like both of my legs are broken."

"Ok. Just making sure."

"Yeah, well I'm all good on this end. Ok, Mrs K is back. I'll talk to you later, Cher."

"I'll text you my address. Have a good sick day."
