"Calm down. The guru helps us - all of us. If what you say is true, you know where you can meet me. I can be ready in five minutes.

"Where is Perdue?"

 

[Shayuri]

"I have -no clue- what you're talking about. Hold on."

Ash looks up from the phone and announces, "He says you know where to meet him, and he's asking where Perdue is. Who the hell is Perdue? And where is he talking about meeting him?"

 

[A Crazy Fool]

"Perdue is the guy Lex and I were suppoused to meet. He's dead. Tell Oblomov that we're headed to the hotel already and that Lex is really messed up. He might want to meet us outside, since bringing Lex in is a little suspicious right now."

Is Lex's condition getting any worse, or staying the same?

(OOC: I did know Howard's last name from looking through his things, right?)

 

[Committed Hero]

(Yes, you know his name and where to go. Lex is stretched out on the back seat, in convulsions but not pain. It would have been nearly impossible to get him out of the restaurant in this state.

 

[Shayuri]

"Oh my god this is so messed up," Ash comments, shaking her head.

On the phone she says, "Perdue's dead, I guess. And the driver says we're on our way to the hotel, but you should meet us outside, because Lex is having a seizure or something."

"W...w....w...wha? P..p..p..perdue w-wasthe g-guy who p-p-poisoned me that I sh-sh-shot twice!" Lex manages to say from between his teeth that are clenched to keep them from rattling.

 

[A Crazy Fool]

"I think the guy we met at the resteraunt killed Perdue and took his place at the meeting because I know for certain the guy I saw dead was Howard Perdue."

 

[Committed Hero]

"Чёрт возмите! Yes, we will be there at once, ready with medical equipment."

A slight pause.

"Thank you."

 

[Shayuri]

A little embarrassed at the gravitas of the man's gratitude, Ash demurs, "Sure, no big deal. Just a phone call. I'll let 'em know."

She clicks the phone off and reports, "He says he'll be waiting with some medical guys."

As she hands the phone back up forward she adds, "So what's your name? James Bond? With all the codenames and Russians and stuff, I'd almost buy it."

Reed thinks for a moment, trying to decide whether he should use the name on his fake I.D. or tell the truth.

I really hope this isn't a second trap.

"Name's Emerson, Reed Emerson. Oh, and I will not have my martini shaken *or* stirred," he adds dryly.
