”Man, I’m still all right, but I’m not looking forward to the visit of the Law. Boys are packing things right now.” Danny’s huffing started to recede, he probably sat down and caught his breath while you talked. ”And a price for transportation out? I don’t know, man, these prices usually adjust by person and by task. And as you are, well, a celebrity right now, I’m sure those guys would take advantage of the situation. A few thousand at the least. Plus additional costs, like a new ID, hooking up with contacts at your destination, etcetera. Per person. And that is just the bottom, depending on where you want to arrive, it might go up significantly.”
When you mentioned Lorenzo, he became very uncertain. ”That’s a tough call, man. You know Lorenzo desperately wants to hit the limelight. This would be a perfect opportunity. He might not sell you out to the cops, but I’m not so sure he wouldn’t to Horizon. And he’s small fry, if he doesn’t get company support, he’d bleed out after the first few interviews in the topic. Seriously, what do you think the chances are he’d get that support without turning you in?
“Anyway, try to get some rest. I have to run, there’s something the boys can’t do without me. I know you know, but I say this regardless: I got your back. Personally, I’d like to see the bastards who did this pay, but I got your back anyway.” After this, you said your goodbyes and hung up.
--Joel--
”Joel?” Ms Steele’s voice was radiating shock and relief at the same time. ”Is that really you, Joel? Oh, thank God, I already feared the worst. I’m so glad to hear your voice, dear.” Her voice wavered, she probably just took her stunningly soft handkerchief and wiped some tears from her eyes.
”Of course I saw that rubbish broadcast on trideo. I’ve heard of lots of terrible events, but to actually think someone coming up with the idea for this… They are evil, evil men, if they are still entitled that designation. Oh, what? Don’t be silly, boy, I didn’t think of you doing this even for a second.” Her voice changed to incredulity, anger slowly building up. You felt if you didn’t stop her soon, one of her usual tirades would come. She was always like this when she met injustice, or just sheer stupidity. ”And I will tell so, to anyone who asks. To think that someone might consider you, a devoted follower of Wolf’s ideals, capable of doing such a horror! I might not even wait until someone asks!
“Oh, and by the way, since when do you refer to yourself in the plural? Poor thing, this tragedy must have affected you quite bad. I can’t even imagine what the astral looked like inside. Now, I’m sure that you looked, I’d have done the same, but please, please tell me, you didn’t look for long.”

Annie didn’t take the call at that moment. You left your message before passing the commlink to the next person to make his calls.
