Ludya

This is all to protect you, Patrick. We’re pulling together, like coursemates on an MA.

Patrick

We’ll go down.

Ludya

We won’t. We’ve got this.

Patrick

Why take my phone and send so many messages, though? You don’t even know my code.

Ludya

3265, your birthdate. You really should update to biometric recognition. Far more secure.

Patrick

What the hell are we going to do?

Jonathan

It will help if everyone is equally motivated to move this forward. Pat, you’ve got your phone back, but please text as you would normally.

Patrick

In the middle of the night?

Ludya

Scroll through Diamond Angels as usual, perhaps message one or two of your favourite ladies?

Patrick

If we all have to text, why isn’t Cameron texting? If he’s not texting, where is he?

Jonathan

He’s driving. Calm down, Pat. We’ll all help you. We’re doing this for you.

Patrick

But these messages are evidence. We have to delete this thread. Get rid of it for ever.

Ludya

Nothing is gone for ever. Even when you think you’ve deleted it, it still exists in the cloud, waiting for you to make a wrong move.

Patrick

Shit! What can we do?

Jonathan

Calm down, Pat. It’ll be fine. So long as you *don’t* make a wrong move.
