Sean had just finished dinner when he heard a knock at the door. Jack, he thought. Why now? He didn’t need this shit right now. They didn’t need it. He went to open the door and his cell phone started ringing in his pocket. Talk about busy, and where the Hell was Jaimee? He answered his phone and the door at the same time.“Hello?” Sean said into the phone, seeing Jack at the door and wishing he would go away.Jack, thinking he was talking to him, said, “Hi, is Jaimee around?”“I’m not talking to you.” He said to Jack, but Devan, on the other side of the phone thought he was talking to him. “No Devan, I wasn’t talking to you.
