San Diego, California
Blake: Hey, I'm headed home but I might be a little late. Leave the door unlocked?
Alicia: Alright, I'll tell your dad. How far away are you?
Blake: (sound of a car door slamming) Uh, dunno. Maybe forty-five-
Alicia: Wait, where are you at right now?
Blake: I had to, uh, stop and get gas. I'm over by, (pause) Utica, I think?
Alicia: Blake, that's almost completely across town! What were you doing over there?
Blake: Hey, hey, calm down. I'm heading home, yeah? I'll be there, like, before two probably. Yeah, for sure. (slight background noise)
Alicia: You know we have work tomorrow, and you still-
Blake: I know, I got it. Be super quiet, lock the door and all that shit.
Alicia: Come straight home. I mean it.
Blake: I told you, (muffled laugh) I'm on my way right now.
Alicia: Alright. We'll be asleep. Goodnight.
Blake: Night, mom.
Call ended.
