Calling Jared
"Any news yet?"
"Nah, nobody recognises the number. And if anybody did, they're really good at lying".
"Dammit!"
"Why do you need it anyway? It's just a number".
"It's not 'just a number'. It is, somewhat, important".
"And how is it important exactly?"
"It just is so no more questions!"
"Duuude..."
"Whaaat..?"
"Are you in,y'know, some 'shady business'?"
"No! Where'd you get an idea like that from?"
"I dunno actually. Now that I think about it, the idea of you in trouble was quite stupid..."

"W-what?! Pfft! Of course, it's not! What made you think that?"
*Let us all marvel at the fact that the poor boy casually chokes on his own spit*
"Puh-lease, for a number? Nope. Nuh-uh. You wouldn't go to this extent".
"Yes I would!"
"Cut the crap, Reece. I know when you're lying".
"I'm n-not lying!"
