Parker     and even then I only went the one time. I thought it might have been a joke because there couldn't have been a way but it was. It wasn't a joke I mean he was there.

Tasa     What happened?

Parker     You want to know the details?

Tasa     I didn't ask you to share.

Parker     You know what happened but it's not as much as you think it's just like anything else.

Tasa     I didn't hear about much.

Parker     "What you've heard" is not what I meant by "you know what happened."

Tasa     Ok I'm not a psychic.

Parker     I got a voicemail.

Tasa     You're being psychotic.

Parker     Did you get one too?

Tasa     I have debt I get voicemails every day.

Parker     Can I see?

Tasa      Can you see what?

Parker      If you got the same voicemail I got.

Tasa     From who?

Parker     I think I know but I want to be sure.

Tasa     From who.

Parker     It wasn't saved in my contacts it's just a number so I don't have to listen to it or anything I just want to check the time and the number to see if it matches and if it does I don't really need to see anything else. Please? Can I see it?

Tasa     You're being weird. Are you going to the memorial?

Parker     Probably. Because if I don't that would probably be more weird.

Tasa     No one will notice there's a lot of people who are going to be there.

Parker     I'd really like to see if you have any voicemails if you really get that many from random numbers you probably won't even notice.

Tasa     Let me see yours.

Parker     The top one.

Tasa     Can I listen?

Parker     No. Unless you already have one or can guess what it is. Then we can listen together.

Tasa     I don't have a voicemail from that number.

Parker     You just said you get so many let me look.

Tasa     I'd notice if that number left me a message.

Parker     So you know what that is?

Tasa     No. I'd still like to hear it though. If I could.

Parker     I don't think so.

Tasa     Please.

Parker      It's a bit too personal I just am not really ready to share that if you don't already know.

Tasa     Is that when he did it?

Parker     …No I listened to it right when I got it and it's just a lot of emotion and piss and cry.

Tasa     What did he say?

Parker     You do know?

Tasa     No but kindof.

Parker     Yeah?

Tasa     It's not that deep.

Parker     Did you ever go over there?

Tasa     No. It was just a weird accident it's not that deep.

Parker     I heard that too and that's why I asked him to do it.

Tasa     That's disgusting.

Parker     I wanted to know if it was true that he did that and I knew they wouldn't have been accidents if he showed me something when I asked for it. So I did because I figured he would and he did but then he cried about it, like immediately. So much piss and broken bird sounds. It was the first time I ever felt bad for anyone and I held him and let him get it all out and promised not to tell anyone and I haven't, not till now.

Tasa      He cried to me too. So much piss. It was an accident and he'd ruined his life over an accident. Puppy dog beggin, wet tears. Gloopy drool and snot. Piss. I promised I wouldn't just to get him to fucking stop and I think he realized that so he wouldn't until I promised forreal that I wouldn't tell and so I did forreal and so I kept that promise which is why I'm not telling you now.

Parker      Did you get that voicemail?

Tasa      I already told you no that's why I want to hear it.

Parker      You don't want to hear it.

Tasa      Why?

Parker     It's the same thing. I think he did it right after. I wasn't sure if he rallied them all off or something, the people he hurt. But it's just the same thing as you said. It's that. Again.

Tasa     What are you going to wear to the memorial?

Parker     Something very dark that isn't black but looks like it might be. You?

Tasa    I'm not going. I don't care who notices.
