• (Voice on speaker phone) You may not have a choice Evan. {long pause}
• (Blaze Winchester) You need to listen to him Evan, our reputations are at stake here! {Blaze picks up the steaming brew and gingerly sips.}
• (Evan Lancaster) Or, do we have a choice................. {Evan trails off in silent thought. Blaze redirects his gaze in the direction of Evan. A sly smile has crept across Evan's pale face.}
