The Phone Call

T.J. picked up the phone on the Bebop.

“Hello?” he asked.

“Uh… who is this?” a man asked on the other line.

“It's me, T.J.”

“Huh? Oh. Where's Jet?”

“I don't know. He's not in right now. Look, when are you coming back?”

“In a few days.”

“Okay… Did you want something?”

“Not really.”

“Did you want to leave a message or something?”

“So… Why did you call?”

“I wanted to talk to Jet.”

“Okay…” T.J. made a face. “Let me see if I can find him real quick.” He set down the phone and walked out of the room.

“Jet! Where are you, man? Jet? Jet?” T.J. called. It dawned on him that he probably should've asked where Spike was. It also dawned on him that he should've asked where Jet went too. Poor planning on his part. T.J. returned to the phone moments later.

“Sorry man, Jet's not in.”

“Oh.”

“Anything else?”

“No. Bye.” Spike just hung up. And that was it.
