300-555-4132: D***. It’s okay we’re going to do something.
215-199-0704: What you mean?
300-555-4132: Not sure but we’re going to have a vote soon. We can’t just sit back and allow another attack take place. Has the news reported anything about us or any other places in danger of being attacked?
215-199-0704: Nothing about you. But they’ve evacuated the White House and Capitol.
300-555-4132: Oh my gosh. Hold on one second. [background] “Everyone my wife just said they’ve evacuated the White House and Capitol. That must be where we are headed” “Let’s vote now!” “All in favor of rushing the cockpit and taking over the plane say aye.” “But none of us knows how to fly a plane. What happens after we regain the plane?” “We’ll do what we have to. There are only twenty-eight of us left plus four of them which is a lot less then the thousands of people dying right now.” “It’s your call. Yes or no?”
300-555-4132: I’m back. We’re going to do this.
215-199-0704: Please be safe…I love our country but I love you more.

300-555-4132: Whatever I have to.
215-199-0704: She’s kicking. Probably because my heart won’t stop pounding.
