The captain! He has a cat that hasn't decided he's his yet. Or maybe he has and he hasn't decided he's his.
Mueller
For real, who? The captain or the cat?
Novák
Yes.
Davis
It's a power struggle. Two apex predators ignoring each other in the same hallway.
Hájek
In Czech Republic, when cat chooses you, it is good luck. You do not say no to this.
Novák
I don't think Ikonen believes in luck.
Davis
No. But I think he's the type to let a cat sleep on his bag and then just… buy a new bag so he doesn't have to move it.
Mueller
So the cat is on the top line and I didn't notice. Great.
Next Morning
Mueller
Hey, unrelated. What's up with Marchetti and Thompson and Kowalski? They're always looking at their phones and laughing. Today Thompson had an actual book in his stall. Like a paperback. With pages.
Davis
I saw that. Couldn't see the title.
Novák
I saw the cover. Hockey player. No shirt. Tight jersey, tragic neck.
Mueller
A hockey book?
Novák
A romance book. About hockey.
Davis
Are they studying?
Novák
They are not studying.
