Oh, good. I kind of hoped I sounded like I knew what I was doing.
[beat.]
Pretty sure I do. I mean, these are all new guys up in here for the most part. New guys and a dude with a bad rep. I'm like a super-senior up in here. So...
1: I was asked 2: If I didn't, who else was going to give you this private line into this thing? And judging by this roster, it's probably a good thing I did. I don't know who else was considered or anything, but. Yeah.
1: By the government? 2: So that IS what you're doing. [PAUSE. Jaime stop giving him heart attacks.] Good idea, although I would have liked a little chance to discuss it first. I'll start working on contingencies. The membership raises a few concerns. What are they like, so far?
Didn't exactly have time to call you up [MOM] when this dropped, sorry. But yeah, reps from higher-ups buzzed me and things snowballed pretty fast. Letting this slip by didn't seem very smart.
Driver was there at fireworks, seems okay, if a bit...I dunno. Kind of a goof? The others I'm still trying to figure out. Scarab's doing its thing, too.
No, you're right, missing the opportunity would have been bad. You did good. [HE'S WORRIED BUT PROUD, AND ALSO THE DAD OKAY.]
Good. Okay. Don't forget to keep an eye on the government reps involved. If there's anything fishy here, it's most likely to trace back through them. (And I'd like to point out I was totally optimistic by saying "if" there.)
Yes. If. I am definitely joining in on this because of an if. I like how I haven't even let myself assume this will turn out good for more than 20 seconds.
We can both hope it will, but it's smart to be prepared anyway.
[He's not going to say "you're learning" because that's SLIGHTLY CREEPY? and also it is not necessarily a good thing to be learning how to think like a Bat. But in this case it probably is.]
The most important thing - stay safe. If you think you're at risk at any time, you bail. Okay?

Does this mean you're skipping movie night?

Fraid so. Still in DC doing prep/intro things and such. Looks like orientation'll kick in soon.

Well, maybe it'll save your ears. [From Mia.] I'd better let you get back to things. Stay in touch.

No sweat, Boss-man. I'll give you a buzz later. Don't miss me too much.
