-(Phone rings)

-Yes. DT Selina Johnson here.

-It's her unofficial partner Barry Jefferson.

-Jerry. Where are you?

-With the girls. Listen I know you are headed towards the clinic. Figured you may need a heads up.

-What is it? Wait, who's number is this? Layla?

-It's actually Jane's phone. But you guessed it though. Anyway listen, I have him approved as one of our employees. The paperwork is done mostly.

-Thanks. But something tells me that I am yet to receive the heads up.

-Figured as much.

-The person who's in charge of the patient's well being needs to state her relationship with the patient as means of assurance. That's what they told me.

-Noted. I am gonna have a handful today and loving that. Call, if there's anything else.

-Will do. Wait hold on a sec; I think I am close.

-Take care then.
