[Jack runs into the office late and less sharply turned out than his usual look. He looks flustered, checks the clock and groans. Then Sharon on the desk tells him Miss Monteleone wants to see him. He grimaces and straightens his tie before hurrying to her door, knocking and popping his head round the door, trying for breezy cool...]

You wanted to see me? If this is not a good time, I could come back later...my desk's stacked up...

Ben Wade...ah, well it's complicated, you see.... A lvery long story. Maybe after class one of these nights, you, me and Richie could... maybe... have a drink and we can explain? He's- Richie's - in law enforcement and would be able to give you the cop's view on Wade better than I could. Wade's a dangerous guy. But it's very sensitive, you know what I mean?

Anyway, if that's all...I'll just go and get back to work...? [he struggles to hide a yawn] Sorry, I didn't sleep too well last night. Something kept me up all night...the dog next door was howling...

Richie's very studious, Miss M. He works long hours in the night when he's on the job, in a manner of speaking. A man on a mission, you might say. he's teaching me everything he knows. And he would never be late for your class. Me neither. We both hang on every word you say...Well, I'll be off then...

Sure thing. Anyone I know? One word of advice. Ms. Monteleone has a sixth sense or eyes in the back of her head or something...so we better keep this out of the office...and off the main frames. Wouldn't put it past her to run through our histories when we've gone home...

[Richie frowns at this not quite sure what Jack means but unwilling to admit it...]

By the way...who was that chick leaving your place this morning...? I didn't get a good look at her from the car when I called to pick you up... You looked like you didn't need a ride, so I drove past....And when did Ms. Monteleone become Nola? Is there something I should know? Come on, Richie, divvy up. You want a favour? Least thing you can do is give me some good dirt...
