Again, a text from Mandy, who Trent was sure was actually texting him at this point.
Trent, quick...get that program, I only have 12 hours.
He quickly tapped out a reply.
Yeah, I noticed from my last text...look, I'll do what I can. Keep any messages few and far between.
He sent the message and looked up. "Okay, Mandy now has only twelve hours to live unless I get that program. Any ideas?"
OOC: TKD, ric, this is where you start posting!

Phillips pounded his fist on the desk abruptly.
“That is enough!” he exclaimed in an unusually loud and harsh voice. “Put the phone down.”
He rubbed his forehead, trying to determine if he snapped because he was annoyed at Mandy, or worried for her.
He began to pace. “Why would I care what happens to her? I don’t. Do I? I didn’t think it would come to this.” He shook his head. “It’s too late now either way. It’s out of our hands.”
OOC: I'm pretty sure Jason is on the phone with Tasha at this very moment. TKD, could you post that please?
IC: Whit started pacing. "Hmmm, twelve hours, that should be enough time for them to fly in..." He walked up into his office where Jason was on the phone. "Do you have Tasha on the line?" he whispered.
OOC:
A little character development to fill space.
“There’s no time for second guessing.” Phillips thought to himself. “You have to make a decision. You have to decide how ruthless you’re willing to be.” He looked at Mandy. “How far will you go to get that program?” He frowned. “Dr. Blackgaard will do whatever it takes. That much is clear. But what about you? You didn’t want anyone to get hurt. Is it worth risking the girl?” He began to pace again. “But it’s not your fault. You gave her a way out. If anything happens it’s the boy’s fault. You gave him plenty of warning.” His frown disappeared. “That’s right. Dr. Blackgaard wants the program, and so do I. And I’ll get it! If things have to get unpleasant…” He scowled darkly. “So be it.”
IC: Mandy looked up to find Pillips staring at her. "It's my phone."
She rolled her eyes, trying not to show how frustrated she was.
Just then, her phone made a small chime. Trent!
Yeah, I noticed from my last text...look, I'll do what I can. Keep any messages few and far between.
Keep messages few and far inbetween? Last text? What is he talking about? Does he know how hard it is to keep getting my phone back? Doesn't he understand that I need to keep talking to him, or I'll...I'll...
She looked up from Trent's text, tears starting to form in her eyes. She hastily wiped her hand across her face, but a small sniffle still came out.
Phillips paused, as if reconsidering his previous conviction, but then shook his head and returned to his laptop.
After a minute he spoke. “There’s nothing to worry about.” he said, trying to convince both Mandy and himself. “Nothing’s going to happen to you if Trent comes through. If he cares about you, he’ll find a way.” He lowered his eyes. “He will.”
OOC:
You did what?!
Fortunately it wasn’t very long. As I recall it went something like:
ID4J, as I said before, you are tied up. Please refrain from kicking my character.
Trent cannot rescue people unless Jason tells him what to do first!

Wasn't it, though? However, since I'm not getting any wind of a plan...
