Los Angeles, Monday night

[fh_jackass]

Logan took Sean out to the courtyard for his evening walk. On the way back through the lobby, the phone rang. He leaned over the counter to grab it. "Angel Investigations. We help the helpless," he said.

"...hey. It's me."

Parker always assumes you recognize her voice. Even when she's boggling.

"What are you doing in L.A.? With Angel?"

[fh_jackass]

Logan did, indeed, recognize Parker's voice. "No hablo ingles," he said in his best Mexican accent.

"Pero, tu hablas 'Angel Investigations' muy excellente en dos minutos en el tiempo," Parker replied in very good Spanish. Go with it, BabelFish takes too long. "Don't try to screw with me, Logan. You fly off the radar and show up at his detective agency? The hell's going on?"

"'Fly off the radar'? I just left! Christ, Parker, do you need to keep track of everything?" Logan asked.

"Yes," Parker said, sounding impatient. "I have issues, deal. If you'd gone to Cabo, I wouldn't care. But I am beyond curious about why Angel didn't mention this when I talked to him. Care to speculate?"

Of course, she has her own theories. And now, wants to throw shoes at Angel.

"Hm. Maybe because it's none of your damn business?" Logan suggested.

"Then why would he bother not mentioning it?" Parker asked. "Why not just say, 'hey, Logan's crashing here. He doesn't say hi'?"

[fh_jackass]

"Because Angel's so chatty that he always mentions little details?" Logan asked dryly.

Parker had a better idea than Logan does of why Angel didn't mention it-- and since that's obviously still true, she relaxes. "Tell Broodboy I called. Tell him to call me. Tell him Call doesn't say hi. Okay?"

[fh_jackass]

"Yeah, I think he got the message about Cal. He stalked out of here a bit ago. What the hell happened with them?" Logan asked.

And because Logan deserves *some* kinds of head's up, Parker says, "I'm guessing he's realized Call might be pissed that you're in L.A. And she's not."

[fh_jackass]

"She's... not?" Logan said in surprise. "Have you talked to her recently?"

Parker looked over at Callisto, still killinating the bag, and said, "You could say that. She's teaching Wilderness Survival here on the Island this term." She paused, adding, "If she calls again? Let Broodboy answer it. Seriously. Caller I.D. is your best friend, Logan."

[fh_jackass]

"Parker," Logan said patiently. "If this phone had caller ID, do you think I'd be talking to you"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Frak." Parker facepalmed. Then sighed. "Yeah, right, exactly, forget it, never mind, right back atcha." She'd tried, anyway. "Don't let Broodboy get killed. Call if you need bail money. I could use the laugh."

[fh_jackass]

"Thanks, Parker," Logan said dryly.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Surely. Bye."

Parker hung up, and turned back to try to calm Call down (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/600851.html?thread=35103763#t35103763).
