Incoming phone call from 504-778-4106.

[Adele D'Alteau]

Who am I speaking with?

Gabriel Constant. Yesterday I spoke with your fiance about paying a visit.

Paying a visit to whom? And what did you discuss with him?

We didn't discuss much. Just that we have a mutual friend, and that I'd like to meet both of you.

For what purpose?

For one, I would explain how I know so much. Also to discuss future arrangements regarding the plans of that mutual friend.

And which friend would that be?

A young Irishman, Jeremiah.

Ah. I know him by a different name.

Unfortunately, my fiancé isn't here right now.

He has business to attend to in another state.

That's quite all right, I'm a state away myself.

Would you both be available tomorrow?

The purpose of the meeting would be what, exactly?

I don't know when he'll be back.

There are several, very different people involved in the matters I'm alluding to.

My purpose at the moment is to meet with each more or less individually and gauge how well these personalities will work together, to avoid any potential clashes.

Your purpose will likely include learning more about what we will be doing, and about asking any other questions you may have.

I'm quite sure I'll be able to conclude what my purpose is on my own.

That's fair.

But if you want to meet, I'm sure that can be arranged.

I would like to, at your convenience.

I can generally be reached at this number if you'd like to set a place and time later.

If Ryan returns tomorrow, we'll be spending the day at home.

All right. I'll plan for it.

When do you plan on arriving?

The evening, most likely. Around six PM.

We'll try to be ready.

We'll see you then.

Thank you. Take care, Doctor.
