  • (..) - Umm-hmm. - Let's go. But Jane's better. Sounds like a hell of a fight, sorry I missed it. If I had known it was going to be a firefight I absolutely would have called you. No, I'm not actually sorry. I'm just trying to sound tough. I'm very happy chasing cold leads on our missing persons case. (..)
