"Hey, it's Kate. Leave a message."

Will do. If I get into trouble, I'll make sure to call my lawyer myself. You won't be implicated.

... You're very prepared. Good. I'll leave this in your capable hands.

He's very prepared, is more like it.

I should hope so. Nobody wants an unprepared lawyer.

[Was that a note of humour in his voice? Yes? No? Maybe? Who knows. It's hard to tell.]

He also wouldn't be surprised about this.

You have a good rapport with this man, then, I take it.

Well, he's my boss.

... I... I see. How convenient.

Perhaps "vested interest" would be more appropriate...

I lucked out. He's pretty damn good at what he does.

But I'm not planning on getting arrested.

No. ... Nobody ever does, in my experience.

Anyway, I'll get back to you.

... I look forward to it.
