"That's discrimination. What I need is a good trial lawyer to fight my case in court. Except I don't know one."
"Ah, hitting below the belt. That means you're good and pissed over something. What's going on?"
"Nothing. I'm coming back."
"This soon?"
"I'm flying out tonight. Maybe tomorrow morning. Depending."
"On what?"

"The problem that took you there, did it get solved?"
"Yeah."
"Good. That's good. Hold on." Dodge could hear whispering in the background, then, "Julie says to ask how your daughter is."
"She's all right."
"So you saw her?"
"Yeah."
"It went okay?"
"It went fine."
"What's she like?"
"Her mother."
"Is that good or bad?"
"Look, Counselor, you're exceeding the minutes on my calling plan. Are you going to reimburse me?"
"Come on, Dodge, talk to me."
"I thought that's what I was doing."
"If there's a problem, and you need my help--"
"There's no problem, and all I need your help with is this phone bill."
After a couple of beats, Derek said, "Stop this and tell me what's going on."
"There's nothing to tell."
"I find that hard to believe."
"Sue me."
"You told us that your daughter was in a jam. A police matter."
