And if, at any point, you get the sense she’s heading to the airport, I need you to get ahold of me. I don’t care what you have to do—find me.

Trista

She just left the rental office of an apartment building, and there was a key in her hand. Pretty sure the key wasn’t for her car.

Me

Where?

Trista

West Hollywood.

Me

Send me the address.

Where is she headed now?

Trista

Looks like she’s on her way to her parents’ house.

Trista

She picked up a few empty boxes, and she’s carrying them into her parents’ house. All signs point to her moving from their house to the apartment building in West Hollywood.

Me

When she does, I need to know.

Trista

You still don’t want me at the office?

Me

I need you doing exactly what you’re doing.

Trista

I just got an email from HR. Every day I’ve spent away from the office as your private PI, they’ve deducted it from my vacation time. Rhett, please do something.

Me

I’ll take care of it.

Trista

Maybe I should just come back to the office? And start working my real gig instead of this?

Me

Trista, you’re the only one I can trust with this. Don’t fail me now. I need you.

Trista

I just don’t want to get in trouble with HR.
