[Good morning, Mayfield. You've got a phone call! The man on the other phone sounds a bit unsettled, uncertain, and maybe a bit nervous, but trying his best to keep his cool. He's also got a rather Texas-like drawl.]

Um. Hello.

[The voice that responds back is quiet, but firm.]

I can probably help. Which is it? The razor blades? I can heal the wounds from that pretty quickly.

[And on the other end, this new voice sounds hugely relieved, albeit still uncertain.]

-Yeah, it's razor blades. She drank a bottle of this here milk an' several of 'em got in her throat. I think we managed to get 'em all out, but-she's still bleedin'. A lot.

How quick can ya'll get here?

Stone Street is on my paper routes in the morning. I can be there in about 5 minutes. Please hold on.

[If things weren't as bad as they are right now, Gat would have been tempted to ask about this "paper route."]

Will do. An' thanks.

[He hangs up. By the time Lucas is on Stone Street, Gat's standing outside on the front porch, looking around. The voice on the other end was a young boy ... So he should be expecting a young boy of some kind to arrive, right?]
