phone call | jared & nell
Operator: You are receiving a collect call from detainee JARED GORDON and the Livermore Falls Police Department. Please press 1 to accept charges.
Nell: [presses 1 and promptly answers] Jared? Did you get arrested?!
Jared: Ah, well yeah kinda...they uh....they’re being nice about it at least?
Nell: Where have you been? You’ve been gone for like two weeks? Why are you arrested? Oh- well as long as they’re being nice...No, Jared! Why are you calling me from a police station after being missing??
Jared: I don’t really… Nells I-...It’s been a blur-... Well they picked me up from a zoo not far from here, I uh think I was trying to convince the animals they should come with me home. It was uh you know...mushrooms?
Nell: [She groans and rubs her forehead a little] Are you okay? You’re alright, right? [user googles where Livermore Falls Police Department is] It says you’re about two and a half hours from me. I can come get you right now, okay?
Jared: I’m...fine I guess. I…didn’t mean to disappear. I’m so sorry I don’t even know what day it is…Please come get me, you can drive the truck here if you could? They need my license to let me go…
Nell: No, I know. It’s...November 2nd. A Monday. [user pauses before trying to lighten the mood] I do love driving the truck…I’ll get your license and be there soon. Only cause I wanna drive the truck, though. Also don’t worry about the kids. I’ve been keeping an eye on them and stuff.
Jared: November…god. Are the kids okay? I don’t know what I’d do without you Nells. Don’t ever move outta town again, I don’t think I’d manage like we used to. I’ll see you soon?
Nell: They’re perfect. They probably just miss you, is all. I know what you’d do without me. You’d be stuck in jail forever living life as a criminal trying to free the whales that don't need to be freed. But yeah, I’ll see you soon. Just hang on. [call ended]
