"Nothing. It's like ey was still delved in even after eir contacts had been displaced. We hit the panic button and called the docs. I guess some ambulance-chaser caught up with them, which is how you found out about us."
"Yeah. I'm not really in the habit of checking the tabloids myself, but I went out out for lunch with a few coworkers and we got one pushed on us. The bit about you not being able to contact us got my attention, so I figured I'd make for the show tonight. Thought that might be my best bet."
