Hello.
JAX
It is me.
AMBER
Where are you?
JAX
... I can't tell you.
AMBER
Really?
JAX
It is better you don't know, in case Florian finds out.
AMBER
I guess.
JAX
Can you talk?
AMBER
Yeah, but not long. I'm at school.
JAX
Where?
AMBER
Janitor's closet in the basement.
JAX
Were you expecting my call?
AMBER
No, Ms. Anne sent me to get a new roll of paper towels, Mr. Bart is on vacation.
JAX
Oh. Lucky us.
AMBER
Lucky us.
JAX
Have you found it?
AMBER
No, but I recruited Ally to help me.
JAX
Ugh!
AMBER
Here we go again...
JAX
Why her? She loves this project, plus she is all buddy buddy with Dais. It's weird.
AMBER
I know how you feel, but would you rather I ask Kenny?
JAX
No, but-
AMBER
I played her the podcast. I got the gears turning. She won't tell for now, she just needs proof.
JAX
No need to rush me, you know I've got this.
AMBER
I know you are leaving a lot out.
JAX
You heard how he reacted, I'm trying not to scare him off.
AMBER
I thought he was our guy, we can't afford to be wrong.
