Van

Noah

He won’t tell them, right? How could he? It would make him look just as bad as it makes me look. Unless that’s his righteous plan–to turn us all against each other and disrupt any order we have on the team.

Beck

What gave you that idea?

Noah

Was it her red cheeks of anger that gave it away every time she looked at you?

It wasn’t anger, but we’ll go with that.

Graham

Better you than us.

Noah

Rome

Beck

Who, us?

Noah

My blood pressure is rising with each chime of my phone.
