    “J.D. cleared his throat and pushed the button on the intercom.

    “Uh, Payton, hi. It’s J.D.”

    Dead silence.

    “Sorry. Not interested.”

    Cute. But J.D. persisted. Again with the button.

    “I want to talk to you.”

    Crackle.

    “Ever hear of a telephone, asshole?”

    Okay, he probably deserved that.”
