Telephone, Ms. Sanderson, Veta Roberts, 8:21:16 AM, 9-29
Kelly: Hello? May I speak to the mother or father of Jacqueline Roberts?
Veta: Why, of course, dear! This is Veta Roberts. How is Jacqueline doing? Is she ready to come home yet? Oh, I can't wait! Her costume's almost ready…
Kelly: uh, no, Mrs. Roberts, there's been a slight problem…
Veta: WHAT! If anything has happened to my lamb…
Kelly: Mrs. Roberts, I need you to listen without interrupting. There was an accident. A bad one. The, uh, splicing didn't go so well. Uh, Jacqueline…
Veta: If my baby has gotten anything permanent, I will sue…
Kelly: Mrs. Roberts! Please! Your daughter has given her life to the name of science! We cannot give you the body. I am very sorry Mrs. Roberts.
Veta: But… how? YOU ARE LYING! YOU ARE A SCIENTIST! NOTHING GOES WRONG!
Kelly: Mrs. Roberts, you have signed a release from, so you cannot sue. I am very sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Veta: but… how'd she die?
Kelly: We're still investigating.
SILENCE
Kelly: I'm sorry again. We'll be sending your money back soon. Bye.
Person-Person, Ms. Sanderson, Monty, 8:25:02 AM, 9-29
Kelly: You're doing the next one. I hate calling all those people. They go all sobby on me and make me feel horrible!
Monty: Yeah, well…
Kelly: I'm sick of this! We're in so much trouble.
Monty: I know.
Kelly: When do we get to process the bodies?
Monty: We don't get to.
Kelly: WHAT!
Monty: After we make the phone calls, we're fired.
Kelly: But…but…why? We didn't do anything but give the injection. And set her up… and do a quarter of the research…still!
Monty: Yeah, I know. But, for the University to be able to stay in business, it has to get rid of anyone involved. The funder, the approver, the researcher, the injector…everyone.
Kelly: Holy shit.
Monty: Exactly.
Person-Person, Head Boss; Dr. Humley, Ms. Sanderson, Monty, 10:57:51 AM, 9-29
Dr. Humley: I need you to watch the patients. Their bodies will be quite valuable.
Kelly: But, we're fired…
Dr. Humley: If I fired everyone I told the public I would fire, there'd be seven people left, one of which wouldn't be me.
Kelly: Oh.
Dr. Humley: So, you can do the research on them. Of course, if you fail, I knew nothing about this. Correct?
Kelly: Yes sir!
Monty: Of course.
Dr. Humley: Good. Lab department 22, building F, room 1-302. Here's the master key.
Kelly: So, what are we doing exactly?
Dr. Humley: About what?
Kelly: This research thing.
Dr. Humley: What are you talking about?
Kelly: Oh, I get it! Right.
Monty: Shut up.
Person-Person, Jacqueline Roberts, Ms. Sanderson, 12:21:56 AM, 10-2
Jacqueline: Where am I?
Kelly: You don't want to know.
Jacqueline: Who are you?
Kelly: You don't want to know.
Jacqueline: What's wrong with me?
Kelly: You really don't want to know.
To all who have read The Thieves: Erm, I'm in desperate need of help. I have only two more chapters written. I know what needs to happen next, but I'm stuck. Please email me with ideas on what to write about to get to what I need. Like, how to take up space pretty much. Yup. Okies.
Chi: You specifically know what needs to happen next. So, if you could help, I'd appreciate it. 1 email left for this month! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
etcies: Let's just say I'm pissed. I hope Chi bopped you like she said she would. That was very obnoxious to ask. Seeing that you haven't called me here in TX, or written a letter, like my two other buddies (besides Mauro, Sarah, Cameron, Kevin, and others), you must not be a sincere buddy. Think about what you'e getting a temper tantrum over before you type it. JEEZ! So, uh, NO.
Jemima-luvah: Ican't think of anything to say to you. But I feel I should anyway. Hi!
