Sorry, I’m not that good at trusting…I’m trying, though. You’re my friend, though, and I should trust you.

[james--gibson]

It's okay, its hard to trust people. If you need anything though, I'm here, okay?

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

I know, but that title makes you different.

[james--gibson]

No it doesn't, I promise. Anyway, I'm a cop in Oxford. I have no power anywhere else. Even if I wanted to do something, I couldn't. You can trust me.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

I know I can. It’s just that you’re a cop…it worries me. I can’t help it.

[james--gibson]

I'm the exact same guy I was before, I promise. 

You know, just taller.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

I’m trusting you, James.

[james--gibson]

I promise. You can trust me.

I know. I just want to make him happy, and I already messed up by telling you about him.

[james--gibson]

Hey, no, you didn't mess up. I'm not gonna tell anyone. I'm glad you told me, I promise I won't tell. Nothing's gonna happen to him. I promise.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Thank you, James.

[james--gibson]

Hey, you know I'd never hurt you, Merc.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

What if we go back to Boston? I don’t want him in trouble.

[james--gibson]

I promise I won't get him in trouble, Merc. I promise. I won't say or do anything.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

I’m perfectly alright, dear. It’s just I’m a bit worried, since you know…y’know.

[james--gibson]

Hey, it's alright. I'm not gonna do anything. We're in Africa, anyway. I see no reason to touch your dad. Don't worry.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

A cop? Oh…well, nothing really.

[james--gibson]

Yeah, I mean, I had people to protect. You alright?

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

So what have you been up to, James?

[james--gibson]

Being a cop, most recently. Though I suppose since I left I no longer qualify as one. What about you?

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

You took those four from me. I’m sure I was beating you by at least that.

[james--gibson]

Finders keepers, losers weepers, I suppose.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

5’6, thank you very much.

[james--gibson]

I've still gotcha by four inches. I'll take it.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

I think someone is jealous of my height.

[james--gibson]

Nope. Come on, what are you, 5'4"? I'm 5'10". You're jealous of my height.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Almost doesn’t cut it, James.

[james--gibson]

You sound like you speak from experience being in the "almost" category.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

You were short. I’m average.

[james--gibson]

Hey, I was... almost average.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Funny.

[mercy-wickerd-blog]

Shorty, really?

[james--gibson]

Only suiting I return the favour after you called me that.
