RING RING: YUP.

Hullo is that Mr. Kenton?

Hi doc.

Jack Price? For heaven’s sake. Wrong number.

Ring ring: Yup.

Price?

Yeah it’s me.

What the fuck are you doing at my vet?

I happened to intercept young Tycho here and I figured we’d be friends awhile is all. You listening? Here Tycho say hi to the doc. (Arf arf arf.)

She doesn’t speak for a while so I say: Hello?

Doc? You there? (Arf?) Go on Tycho you go play with your aniseed rag man I gotta talk to the doc. Doc?

Doc?

Fuck you Price.

Yeah no doc, come on, what the fuck do you think I am? The dog’s fucking fine okay? Not like Billy I understand which is a fucking sin against reasonably priced manscaping by the way but I guess you do what you gotta do.

Yes.

Excepting this doc. Excepting this. I am not going to kill your dog. Your dog is gonna be completely fine. You see how that makes us different?

No.

Yeah okay fair point. They find Li yet?

Yes.

You see how that makes us different?

How does that make us different Mr. Price?

Only one of us is having any fun doc.

Jesus Price.

Some kid I got nothing to do with’ll be walking the dog in the park in an hour. For Christ’s sake don’t kill the kid okay? I mean that would just be unnecessary. I mean as far as I’m concerned you can kill the kid right but it would be kinda crappy behaviour and you don’t strike me that way.

Okay.

Also seriously check the dog for cancer soon okay because he’s sweet and Salukis really get that shit too much it’s a breeding thing.

I know that Price I’m a fucking scientist.

But you got him anyway.

I liked him.

You gonna tell the other Demons we had this little chat?

Probably. Maybe not. It doesn’t make any difference to what has to happen. Plus you did kidnap my dog Price it’s not like you’re a Good Samaritan.

I’m just drawing a line, doc.

Who isn’t?
