[it's in an hour that kavinsky calls. by then, david has no doubt flagged the initial alarm, so the white tower lietenant picks up with a set of brusque assumptions.]
Hey, Porter. So Alleyne tells me your fellow Councilman's been incommunicado for a few days. Sounds like I was the last person to see him. He was in the Tower with me for less than twenty-four hours, where the GPS leaves off.
[The alarm has indeed been raised, and she sounds tense. Jane doesn't believe Josh would just abandon them, but she hasn't been able to find out anything else yet. No leads, until this.]
I suppose you're going to tell me you had nothing to do with it.
Yeah. If I'm lying, we're at the beginning of a real long ruse.
[there's a black twist of humor to kavinsky's voice; he knows how krakoa sees the tower. and they're not wrong, exactly, but in this case-- they would be.]
Listen, I'm pushing off some of the manufacturing work on another ImPort here. I'm gonna see what footage I can get off the local surveillance around the last place I saw him. Can you come here and bring something with a good nose?
[There's a long silence. While Jane doesn't make a sound, Kavinsky might be forgiven for thinking she's hung up. It could be a ruse, or a trap, and she knows that if she tells someone else about this they might try to stop her.
She should probably tell David.]
I know just what to bring. [Jane says.] Where shall I meet you?
[it's a pretty spot out there, on a clear day. tall trees and a lovely plaza of white stone, on the edges of the gate's influence. a good place to start.]
Take you in from there. You think your critter-- critters-- are gonna fit into a town car okay?
[he's not usually much one for repeating himself. it's uncharacteristic of him, as is taking a big chunk of time out of his schedule. of course, by the standards of anyone else, this behavior borders on heartless; where's the cavalry? alarms sounded? tears shed?

[Sounds good, and the suggestion of somewhere like that does a little to assuage her concerns about this being some kind of trick.]
Oh, yes. He should be able to fit into my satchel. Don't worry about that.
would you like to fade/handwave or cut to action?

he's not like that. but he isn't himself.]
See you soon.
