"Yep." T-Bull nodded. "I'll call ya. Watch your back, huh?"

As soon as Jason left, T-Bull set about finishing up the last of the day's work, leaving a few small, easy jobs for the boys to do when they arrived. They still had tests to worry about, and besides, he wanted to have everyone out early anyway. Once he was finished with that, he decided he'd chase Old Man Johnson out (with the task of returning the dishes to T-Bull's Momma) before giving Carlos a call.

Carlos marches out of the lab and starts heading back to his office. He'll let the phone ring a few times to ensure he's far enough away before he picks up,

"This is Carlos."

In the meantime, if the suit isn't following, he'll pull out his PDA and try the playback to see what and if he got out of that whole buisness.

Mike was about to say something to the paparazi when he heard the alarm.. THEN shouting, and the cop mumbling.
"Well maybe someone should go check it, man.. Aint that kinda your job? Oh wait, your job's to keep my dad safe, right? Fine, you do that, I'll check it out." Mike turns and heads towards the source of the sound, a concerned look on his face as he rushes past the photographer.

OOC: Not sure how far the virology lab is away, so I'll asume for plot purposes that it's fairly close by. If it's like on the other side of the hospital or something, correct me and I'll edit the post.

Mike goes jogging outside to see a huge group of people milling about in confusion as the fire alarm continues to sound its sorrowful tune. Then he spies someone familiar walking outside with a phone to his ear, Carlos Munguia who is also trying to juggle his PDA.

On that PDA, Carlos finds that most of it is garbled and he caught a few things but too much of it was the sound of the microphone rubbing around in his pocket, overpowering everything until the fire alarm went off.

T-Bull could hear a voice over the cellphone, one he's not heard in many years, that of Carlos Munguia. Just as he heard it though, the door opens and the two boys walk in looking fairly upset.

OOC: MIKE, CARLOS, TBULL, LAMAR, MALCOLM

"Munguia!" T-Bull rumbled, glancing up as the boys walked in and giving them a nod of greeting. "How ya been? Not so good I gather," he went on, answering his own question. "I heard you been up to those old bad tricks of yours."

Malcolm arrived at Johnson's Garage after a healthy jog from the police precinct. An all out race of the last hundred yards with Lamar ended with Malcolm touching the door at almost exactly the same time as Lamar. The competition was the only thing that keep Malcolm from yelling for T-Bull before he saw him on the phone.

Malcolm stowed his jacket and put on some coveralls, getting ready to work on the Ford, waiting for T-Bull to be done on the phone.

"T?" Carlos hits Stop on his PDA and pauses mid-step. After a moment, the shock wears off and he continues striding.

"Wow, it's good to talk to you again. I was just thinking about you in fact. Weird. Ya, the last two days have just about been straight from Hell. Jess told me you're still the regular hero these days. I could use a hero right about now, old friend. Heaven knows I'm doing a $hitty job of it on my own."

Carlos finishes his rambling and chides himself for opening up so suddenly. He hadn't spoken to T-Bull in years and here he was already asking for help again. Dios, nothing changes does it?

"Jess exaggerates," T-Bull protested, adding a grunt for good measure. "But it does sound like you could use a little help. Still putting yourself in front of bullets?" he chided.

"But I didn't call to bust ya up over the phone - rather do that where I can see you. What'd'you say to dinner? You, me, Jess and Amy, and their brother? Around eight."

"Sounds great, T. Only this time, let's try a better part of town. There's this great place near the galleria..."

Carlos begins filling him in on the place. He'd walk toward his car, but Amy gave him a ride here so he'll find a place to sit down and rest.

"That sounds fine, Munguia. You tell Amy - I'll let Jason and Jess know. I'll make reservations for what - eight'o'clock?"
