firestarter - charlie mcgee

audio:

[There's a lot of noise behind Charlie. She's working at the Jasmine Dragon and is on her break when she does this. She doesn't bother with filtering this since she doesn't know who all Ed spoke to but it has to be done. Despite the fact that she really feels like flipping out and setting everything on fire, she keeps her voice calm and steady. It helps that she's at work, really.]

Ed Lee went home the other day. I'm not sure who all he spoke to or who he was friends with but he's gone.

[And then the audio shuts off. She's botherable at the Jasmine Dragon, if anyone wants to find her there.]

[Around noonish Charlie will get a delivery at work of a pot of bright red tiger lilies, with a note attached.]

Figured you could use them for your garden. Hope you're doing better.

SS

[The photo is of the tiger lilies, set right in the middle of the calla lilies. They look magnificent there.]

Thank you. I'm feeling a bit better. The flowers helped.

just doin my job man

you rock. and thanks for the other day.

any time. i mean it charlie.

What are you doing later? After four?

no plans. what'd you have in mind?

Phantom needs to be taken out for a while so he runs off some energy. I wouldn't mind the company.

sure thing. nym could use a walk, too.

Meet you at my place, then?

sure. i'll see you then.

Hey, how are you doing? And don't say fine.

I hate this damn City.

I know. Me too. I can bring some ice cream over.

I'm not really in an ice cream mood. Company, sure. I'm all for that.

You all right?

Not so much.

[private to curtis.]

He told me he loved me before he vanished. And Ed doesn't lie about how he feels.

I'm sorry.

[ he doesn't know what else to say, but he knows how she's feeling. it hurts. ]

Is there anything I can do?

Mind grabbing a beer with me? I need a huge distraction right now.

Where can I meet you?

My place in about two hours? I have to take Phantom out for a run, otherwise he'll chew on something until I get back.

All right; I'll see you then, yeah?

I'll be by in just a little while then. Want me to bring anything?

Just yourself. Fair warning, I got a new pet and he jumps on people. And kind of nips. He's teething.

See you then.

[She'll be waiting at home, getting the pets set up with food so they don't go insane and try to eat the furniture.]
