Angela Lopez:
I need a favor. A big one.

Lucy Chen:
That's never a good sign.

Tim Bradford:
Do I even want to ask?

Wesley Evers:
Probably not, but we're desperate.

Lucy Chen:
Oh boy.

Angela Lopez:
Jack is sick. Fever, cough, whiny.

Tim Bradford:
And? Just give him some medicine, let him sleep it off.

Wesley Evers:
We would, except Emmy is also sick and hasn't stopped crying for three hours.

Lucy Chen:
Oof. That's rough.

Angela Lopez:
You have no idea. Wesley and I both have to work. I have court, he has back-to-back meetings, and our babysitter just bailed last minute.

Tim Bradford:
So you're saying—

Lucy Chen:
You need us to babysit.

Wesley Evers:
Just for today. Please. We'll owe you forever.

Angela Lopez:
Jack loves you guys. And Emmy—well, she loves Lucy.

Tim Bradford:
What about me?

Angela Lopez:
...Jack loves you guys.

Lucy Chen:
😂😂😂

Tim Bradford:
Wow.

Wesley Evers:
Please. I'm begging. We haven't slept in two nights, and my ears are still ringing from Emmy's screams.

Lucy Chen:
Fine. Bring them over.

Tim Bradford:
Wait—AGAIN? You didn't even ask me!

Lucy Chen:
You'll be fine. You survived last time.

Tim Bradford:
Last time, Jack turned me into a jungle gym. This time, he's sick. That means snot.

Angela Lopez:
Big, brave Tim Bradford scared of a little snot?

Tim Bradford:
I hate all of you.

Wesley Evers:
We'll be there in 20. Thank you, saints.

Angela Lopez:
Tim, you better be nice to my sick baby.

Tim Bradford:
Define "nice."

Lucy Chen:
Tim.

Tim Bradford:
Fine. Whatever. Bring the little gremlins over.

Angela Lopez:
That's the spirit! Also, Jack might be a little cranky.

Tim Bradford:
Define "a little."

Wesley Evers:
He threw a pillow at me this morning because I wouldn't let him eat ice cream for breakfast.

Lucy Chen:
So, regular Jack. Got it.

Tim Bradford:
Great. So I get to deal with a sick, grumpy genius and a screaming baby? This feels like a setup.

Angela Lopez:
Consider it character development.

Tim Bradford:
I'm blocking you.

Angela Lopez:
See you soon. 😘
