     “That’s brilliant. Who goes in    
with me?”                              
     “Me, of course, you big dummy,”   
Beth said, as she pretended to punch me
in the stomach.                        
     I laughed, “What was I thinking?” 
I said and hit myself in the head,     
“But, what about everyone else?”       
     Mouse continued, “Me and Pee Wee  
will sit in our cab waiting. That'll   
seem natural because you didn't want to
drink and drive.                       
     “We let Darryl and Rhonda off a   
block away, and from  there, they go to
the nearest exit where the Cat is.     
According to the plans Rhonda got last 
night, the room you describe is near   
the north exit.”                       
     “Once you go in, any call from you
or Beth, even if it's cut-off, we go   
in,” Rhonda ordered, like she was some 
kind of General ordering her troops    
around. “You should put our numbers on 
speed dial right now.”                 
     She rolled her eyes, when I told  
her I wasn’t that good with phones.    
     She took it from me and angrily   
punched numbers into it.               
     “I can see why you needed help    
with that dictating program of yours,” 
she added.                             
     I chose not to respond.           
     “How's it running, by the way?”   
she asked and continued to punch       
buttons.                               
     “Perfect, thank you,” was what I  
was trying to avoid saying, because    
thanking your arch-enemy, for anything,
must definitely be against the rules.  
     Twenty beeps later, she handed my 
phone back, “Press the number one, and 
then the green button. That's it. If   
you want to call Darryl, just press the
number two instead. I suggest one of   
you keep your finger on one of the     
buttons, at all times. The faster we   
get the call, the faster we can be in  
there to back you up.”                 
     “I have to admit. I like it. Ok,  
right now let's synchronize our        
watches. I have exactly 10:48 and      
twenty, twenty-one seconds.            
     “When I say now, it'll be exactly 
10:49... now.”                         
     Everyone quickly looked at their  
smart-phones. Maybe I did this too     
much?
