Listen – Season One, Episode Four

Prologue

"What is it this time, Oscar?" Steve sighed, staggering bleary-eyed into the office. "You know how much these 3am calls thrill me."

Oscar handed him a cup of coffee. "I need to send Jaime on an assignment."

"Well, it's awfully nice of you to let me know that, but it's the middle of the night," Steve groused.

"It's urgent, Pal."

"Ok....then shouldn't you be talking to Jaime?"

"I needed to talk to you first," Oscar told him.

"I've never liked the fact that she's working for you – and you know that – but you've never asked my permission before, so -"

"How's she doing, Steve?"

"She's fine....Oscar, what's going on?"

"This assignment is delicate – and could prove extremely dangerous – so I need to know if you think she's capable -"

"Of course she is," Steve interrupted.

"- of following directions," Oscar finished.

Steve winced. "That....could be a problem."
