The Wire

"Now hold on, why does she get to tickle?" JJ complained as Kie lifted the phone.

"She's the best tickler," Pope explained.

"Should I do an accent?" Kie asked.

"Absolutely!" Cory said excitedly.

Kie flipped to speaking in a proper british accent. "Disguise my voice how? How would you like me to talk. Like this?"

"Not like that," JJ dismissed.

Cory slapped him in the chest. "I like it."

"Not like that, no," Pope said. "Batman."

"Batman," Kie repeated in a low voice.

"There you go," Pope said.

"Perfect," Cory added.

Kie looked down at the phone, pressing the call button.

They waited for a few moments, just listening to the phone ring.

"Hello?" the man picked up.

"Hello," Kie grunted in her Batman voice.

Cory snorted, and JJ reached over with a grin, covering her mouth with his hand.

"I can't, I can't," Kie whispered.

"Just talk," Pope whispered back.

"Hello?" The man repeated.

"Is Gavin there?" Kie asked in her normal voice.

"This is Gavin, who is this?" Gavin asked.

"I know what happened on the tarmac," Kie said.

"Um... who's this?" He asked again.

"It was Rafe Cameron," Kie said. "But you already knew that, and you lied about it."

"Okay, who is this?" he asked once more.

"We're gonna prove it," Kie continued taunting him. "You're guilty."

"You're gonna tell me who this is right now–"

"You could've saved her, Gavin, and you didn't," Kie only continued on. "And you're not getting away with this."

"Listen to me!" He yelled. "Who is this?"

Kie made a face, hanging up the phone. She looked up at the other Pogues.

"How was that?" she asked.

"Perfect," Cory said, pulling JJ's hand off of her mouth.

"Yeah, I was scared, good job," JJ said.

"Alright, we tickled the wire," Pope said. "Phase two complete."

Cory grinned, leaning up towards Pope.

"Why do you always talk like that?" she asked.

Pope scoffed, placing his hand against Cory's face and pushing her back into the back seat.

Then, he looked at JJ.

"Keep her in check," he said.

Cory chuckled. "Me? You're telling Jay to keep me in check?"

JJ laughed. "You mean keep her busy? Because I can do that."

JJ turned to Cory, holding his hand against her face. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, allowing his eyes to roll back slowly. He opened his mouth, nearing her.
