So next, Sally went to see Cal. Hoping Megan wouldn't mind. She probably wouldn't, but their friendship wasn't the same and after what Cal admitted, Megan didn't exactly want Sally around her husband. Though Sally had ZERO interest in Cal anyway.
Sally knocked on the door and heard Megan call back "Just a moment!.." A few seconds later and the door opened. Megan raised a brow asking "What are you doing here?" "Um.. Is Cal home?" Asked Sally. Meg's brows lowered answering. "Yeah, why?" "For Lightning.." Megan stared at Sally. She wasn't exactly a threat to her, but Megan didn't like Cal around her at all now. "CARL!" Yelled Megan! Sally cocked her head a bit asking "Carl?.." Megan didn't explain herself. Cal walked up and saw Sally and asked "Sally? What are you doing here?" "I want to ask you a favor.." Cal glanced at Meg who rolled her eyes and walked away. She didn't think Cal would actually cheat or anything. Not like this.
Megan walked away and Cal stepped outside asking "What's up? You aren't usually the type to ask fro anything." "I know, but it's Lightning.. He's not himself.." "Got that right." Agreed Cal. "Good." Replied Sally. "Glad you agree.. So.. I was talking to Jackson and he suggested that maybe Lightning is just.. Thrill seeking.. Something aout feeling.. Alive because of racing?" Cal sighed and nodded a little.
"So I was hoping maybe you could get Lightning in the cockpit and maybe even race him yourself." She explained. Cal opened his mouth to reply, but Sally continued "And I know, you're retired and all.. But.. Lightning needs this.. He needs help before he's too far gone." Cal opened his mouth again, but again Sally continued over him. "And I already asked Bobby. He says he doesn't want to race anymore because it hurts.. I know he just is talking about Jesse.. Maybe racing reminds him of her some how.. I don't know.. But he mentioned you." Cal frowned a bit and finally replied, "Sally, I'm done racing.. We all are. We're.. Just a bunch of old guys that can't keep up with the youngsters out there. When Bobby was fired, I retired and Lightnin.. Was.. Willingly stepped down with a replacement.. A little part of each of us broke. No one wants to feel that again." "So you don't race at all anymore?" Asked Sally.
Cal shrugged answering "I still race.. Just... Friendly little drives with my uncle mostly.. For old times sake." "So do it for Lightning.. For old times sake.." Sally pleaded. Cal sighed. "Come on Cal.. Maybe all of you need this and not just Lightning." She added. Cal thought about it for sure. "Look, Sally.. If Lightnin isn't racing.. There's probably a reason.. Don't you have a suit? Why don't you race him?" He asked. Sally frowned answering "I don't know how to exactly.." "OH please.. Lightnin use to brag about you driving that ole porsche back in the day. You actually are the one out of any of us that could liven that spark. You or Cruz." He said and then apologized. "Sorry, I.. Didn't mean it like that.. I just.."-"It's fine, I get what you meant.. Yeah.. Maybe.. He really did that?" "Yeah, years ago I mean. But.. Look, I'll talk to him later when I get the chance. Okay?" He asked with a smile. Sally nodded. "Great. Take care of yourself Sally." He added before heading back inside to his wife...
Jackson used the cane to help him find the seat in the doctors room. Waiting to see what might be possible with his eyes and seeing again. Ben knocked before stepping in and greeting "Hey Jackson.. How are you doing?" "I'm blind again.." Jackson growled. Ben sat on the swivel stool and took a light, looking into Jackson's eyes. "So no remote?" Ben asked. Jackson shook his head explaining that it was broken.
"Have you looked into getting it repaired?" The doc asked. Jackson's brows lowered snarling "I want to see again! I want to be able to actually have control of my sight!" "I understand that... But I want to take the most noninvasive and less risky way first here. You're talking about a nerve that once damaged, is not repairable." Ben explained. Jackson sighed muttering "So you can't help me..."
Ben sighed replying "Well, that's not what I said.. Not saying I can though either. If it's alright, let's run some tests.. Scans.. See if we can get a pretty good idea and picture. It's been a while and some nerves and receptors may have healed on their own some and might be able to give us some aid there." "What are you saying?" "Well... I have a few ideas in mind, but.. All of it is risky and takes time and may or may not work so... Let's get you into something a little more safe and get some blood drawn and tests ran and we can go from there, alright?" Jackson just nodded. Oh how he hoped Ben could help him...
Cruz stared at Lightning's name on her phone. Would he care about knowing the gender? He probably wouldn't even be excited anyway. For one reason, Cruz wasn't and never would be his Sally.
Cruz stared at his name, his contact picture. She decided to go ahead and try calling him. She pressed the button to her ear and it rang... and rang... and rang... Then voicemail. Cruz frowned and stared at the screen of the phone a second before hanging up. It hurt. He wasn't even answering. Part of her was worried about him, but she let him be. If he wanted to speak to her, he'd answer...
The town of Radiator Springs all met up for a meeting in nominating who should be the next mayor sense Sally had stepped down officially. Sally, as last mayor, she was the one to hold the meeting. "If.. We're all ready, we'll go ahead and start public nominations.. Um.. Before beginning, I want to thank the folks of Radiator Springs for the chance and time I was aloud as Mayor. I'm sorry for my actions that lead to my.. Myself having to step down. Um.." she paused as she saw Lightning in the room.
Staring at him for a second or two. "I.. I'm sorry.." she mumbled. Then clearing her throat asked. "So!.. Let's get to it Radiator Springs! It's simple and yes, a little.. different. But just raise your hand and nominate who you want to be as your next mayor and he or she will rise and either accept or decline the gesture. If they decline, nothing further. If they accept then we have x amount of candidates for the run for Mayor!" A few people applaud the idea.
Cleo bumped Lightning in the hip with her own hip, catching his attention. "Don't you forget what I told you.." she warned. Lightning glared down at her snarling "Yeah, yeah.. I'm not forgetting.." "Good boy." She smiled quietly. Lightning was biting his tongue. "You're just lucky we're not alone." He whispered to her. Cleo snickered asking "Really? And why is that?" "Because I'd kill you." He was so serious it would be a threat to anyone else.
Not Cleo. She contained a giggle and smile replying "Not before I got to you first. Come on now Lightning. What's it gonna take to get you in my bed for a night?" "Drugs.. Alot of drugs, alcohol and a gun." "Not very difficult. I can totally make that happen." She teased. Lightning sighed, brushing it off as he watched and vaguely listened to Sally up in front.
Some random man raised his hand saying "I nominate Edd Hears." Edd rose up and Sally asked if he accepted, the man nodded with a "Yes." And people applauded. Sally then announced "I nominate Megan... Megan Weathers." People cheered for her. Megan was shocked and she stood up. "Do you accept?" Sally asked. Megan was shook. "Me? You really think me?" She muttered.
Sally smiled and nodded. Megan nodded answering "Yes.. Yes, I accept." People definitely cheered for her! Lightning raise his hand and said "I nominate Cleo De Frank.." everyone stared at him. How could he? He accused this woman of rape! (SOME KNEW SHE ACTUALLY DID IT) Sally's jaw dropped slowly. "Lightning..." She mumbled. Cleo smiled and stepped up saying "I accept!" Sally stared at Lightning. Just.. How could he!?
Sally sighed saying "Um... okay.. I'm.. I'm sorry Cleo-Er Miss De Frank.. Once you have ran as mayor, you can't again for four years.." "But you did?" Cleo reminded. Sally sighed and nodded explaining "Yes.. Because the mayor after me who was voted legally was removed from office for"-"For being wrongfully accused and imprisoned. Wrongfully removed from office. This revokes that." Cleo reminded. The town folks stared at Sally for answers here. Sally was stuck!
Cleo was right.. Legally, she was wrongfully removed as Mayor.. "I... Um.." There had to be a way to keep Cleo from becoming mayor AGAIN!? Sally sighed in this defeat. "Yes, alright.. Um.. Radiator Springs.. Meet your candidates.. Ed Hears, Megan Weathers and... Cleo De Frank.." the people clapped, applauding for the candidates. Sally still staring at Lightning..How could he help this woman, what did she have on him?...
After the town meeting, Sally walked around the corner, watching Lightning carefully. Could technically say she was stalking him a bit now even. She saw him and watched.. Debating of going up to him, but then Megan walked up asking "Why did you nominate me?" "AAH!" SALLY JUMPED! "Sorry, you scared me there.. What, um... what?" She asked. Megan crossed her arms and asked again. "Why did you nominate me Sally?"
"Because you would be perfect for the job." Answered Sally. Megan was surprised and sort of flattered. "You really think so?" She asked. Sally nodded answering "Definitely." Cal walked up and spoke up saying "That was awful nice of you Sally, but you didn't need to do that." "I know." She replied, staring at her old friend. Meg sighed then with Mira and her husband said "Come on..Let's go home." She smiled. Once the Weathers were out of the way, Sally looked around the corner and back at Lightning who now, was speaking with Cleo.
"Great job Lightning." Cleo complimented. Lightning glared at her snarling "Not like I had a choice.." he seemed pretty angry with Cleo. The woman snickered with a smile replying "True.. But you didn't want that tape getting out in the open did you?" Lightning held his tongue. You could see it in his face. "I mean in my opinion Lightning, everyone already knows that your poor Cruz is pregnant again.. Might as well let it all be shown right?" She was pushing him, teasing him.
Lightning leaned closer to Cleo and reminded her of the video of her he has. "And I don't mind making another.." he added. Cleo showed slight fear as she swallowed nervously. "But besides embarrassing me, what would it do?.. Show the world what a perv you are?" "If you show your's first, it won't matter anyway.. The only thing keeping me from ripping you in half is Cruz and the fact that she still has a manageable reputation."
Sally honestly couldn't believe the things she was hearing between Lightning and Cleo! It was completely awful.
"Well.. Than just don't come between me and boys Lightning.. Because that's the only thing keeping me from ripping your pants off." Cleo warned, giving Lightning the up down with her eyes. Lightning glared down growling "You disgust me.." "Well what can I say? I'm a dirty girl.." she teased and walked away. Lightning sighed and you could tell he was thinking.. Just what? Before Sally managed the courage to talk to him, her Father approached. "Sally, you okay?" HE asked. Sally nodded answering "Yeah.." He placed his hand on his daughter's shoulder and assured her that she was doing the right thing.
Sally nodded agreeing and mumbled. "Yeah.. I hope so.." Carson leaned close and kissed Sally on the forehead. "I'll see you back at your house." HE replied. Sally nodded with an "Okay Dad.." And watching her Father go, by the time Sally turned back around to see and maybe talk to Lightning, he was gone...
The nurse called Jackson back after some testing. After all of that, Jackson was even feeling a bit light headed. Ben walked in with his clip board and results and sat down asking "How you feeling Jackson?" Jackson rubbed his head answering "Woozy.. Tell me you found something doc?..." Ben sighed and answered. "Yeah, well.. I still think we can get your sight back. How much, I'm not sure.. I'd say at least sixty percent maybe.. Lower number maybe forty." "That's not good enough. I need all of it back so I can rise up and prove to McQu-That.. I have to race again." Said Jackson. Ben frowned and admitted "You won't race again... I can't give you full vision.. Look, let's start from the bottom here, okay?" Ben suggested.
Jackson hated hearing that, but let Ben go over a few options. "Firstly.. I want to go over some things with your healing.. You were put on the medication ?" "Yeah, maybe? I don't know." "Says here you are still on it. Are you taking all your medications still?" Jackson nodded. Ben seemed unsure of something. "You're scaring me Doc.." Jackson admitted. Ben shook his head and explained "Nothing to really worry about.. You are suppose to take it for four years after your accident, but.. I want to go ahead and get you off now." "Why?.. Is something wrong?" "Not exactly. Been having multiple people who have been on it come back with some problems." "Problems? What kind of problems?" "Well, healing problems. It's possible it's messing with your eyes healing process a little to."
"REALLY!?" Jackson exclaimed! "So I can see when I get off the drug?!" Ben snickered answering "No. No, you'll still need surgery. But have you been more depressed at all? Mood swings? Major mood swing?.." "I'm fucking blind AGAIN! OF COURSE I'M DEPRESSED!" Ben sighed and nodded. "Alright.. Anyways, let's talk options.. Once I have you off , which.. We'll do carefully as it can cause a lot of bad symptoms and withdrawal.. We can try and the one I most recommend. Is cell growth therapy with replacement of the cells. It take time and healing and.. Growth. So.. About six months before we'd see any results." "Six months?! Really?.. NO, I need something better than that. My clock is ticking doc." "Alright, well.. Next I suggest layer by layer replacement.. But again.. It will take time Jackson. At the least a few months.. But sense it would be layer by layer.. I couldn't tell you. Healing time is a big part of that factor and everyone heals in their own time." "NO. NO, you're not listening! I need to see as soon as possible! Isn't there something like?.. I don't know!? Total eye replacement or something!?" Jackson asked.
Ben snickered quietly a little before answering that, "No. Not possible.. See.. I can't find the tech that is inside of one of those sections of the eyes. If I found it and removed it, I could heal that specific area maybe.. With cell replacement and therapy. Depends where. But I can't find it easily and it's so risky to do an exploratory procedure. You could lose all hope of ever regaining sight like that. I don't want to do that to you. You have a few options Jackson. Go home and think over it.. Then call me and we can schedule a procedure, okay?" HE asked, gently slapping Jackson on the shoulder. Jackson hated this. There had to be a faster way!...
Lightning sat at the tv. Watching a race replay from the most recent. A crash happened.. Leaving a young racer in a coma. The racer was still out to. Knock, Knock. "Hey McQueen!.. You home man!?" Bobby. Lightning sighed and shut off the tv before getting up and going over to the door and opening it.
"What's up Bobby.." Asked Lightning. Bobby stared with a raised brow. "Man, you look tired. Everything okay?" Asked Bobby. Lightning sighed and leaned on the frame of the door asking "What do you want Bobby?" Rude. Bobby shrugged answering "Sally's worried about you." "Yeah, well... She isn't my problem anymore. We're divorced.. Again." Bobby frowned a bit admitting he didn't realize that.
"Uh.. How are things with Cleo De Bitch?" Bobby chuckled in a joke. Lightning shook his head answering more firm, "I have it all handled Bobby. You can go." Lightning began to shut the door, but Bobby stopped him snarling "Don't you close the door on me man! How is work?" Lightning rolled his eyes. "Fine.. I mean.. I guess.. I'm done and selling the academy. Just.. Haven't put it up on the market yet." "Oh.. Alright.. I can't stop you there, but.. How do you feel about racing?" "What do you mean?" Asked Lightning.
Bobby shrugged answering. "About a race? You and... And me.." Bobby didn't exactly sound thrilled with the idea. Lightning glared at his friend replying. "Honestly, Bobby.. Racing is so far behind me I.. I can't even remember it. Time to let it all go Bobby... See ya around.." Lightning closed the door softly. Bobby sighed and honestly, he was so depressed himself with how his own life was going. He didn't care about racing all that much either...
Sally carried the last small box into her Father's house in California. The kids running through and already getting into the boxes with toys and almost tripping Sally over. "Careful kids! This isn't permanent." She reminded. They really weren't listening and only continued to make a mess of toys.
Carson brushed it off saying "Don't worry about it honey, they're kids." "Thanks Dad." Replied Sally. She set the box down and Carson then asked. "Want me to watch the kids tomorrow? That way you can start looking for a place of your own? I already have a few lined up that I believe you'll adore." He smiled.
Sally smiled a little hearing that. "Yeah, that might be nice. I could use a break and some.. Alone time to if that's okay?" "Of course! I'm here for you entirely Sally." He assured, hugging his daughter. Sally let out of a sigh of relief, thanking her Dad again. "Well," Said Carson, "I better go get dinner started before those rugrats start griping." Sally snickered with a smile. That was true.
"Alright.. I'm just going to step out and make a quick call." She announced. Carson was suspicious and asked "Not Lightning?.. Right?" "No, not Lightning Dad." "Good.. Just trying to look out for you Sally." "I know Dad.." Sally replied before taking out her phone and stepping out onto the front lawn. Pacing as she called Ben. First try went to voice mail.
Sally, nice to hear from you.
"Yeah.. I wish under better circumstances."
What's wrong?Not Lightning to..
"What? Well.. No.. I have a friend that is coming to see you about his eye sight.."
Jackson Storm?
"Yes. You can help him, right?"
Well.. I think so, but not in the ways he wants me to. I'm not really suppose to talk about it with you..
"I know and I'm not asking you to. Just.. Give it all you got.. Please.. Jackson doesn't deserve what happened to him."
None of those racers did Sally.. Hey, how is Lightning doing anyway? That's a lot of crashes over the last couple years..
"He's.. Okay.. He's doing fine I guess."
Okay. He should be going in for a scan once a year.. I know he's stubborn, but it would be good. I've seen it in many car accidents and sometimes the brain alters itself to heal, healing the wrong way. Is he still taking all his medications? ?
"Maybe, um.. I don't know.."
He's suppose to be. Keep him on them and if he has any major personality changes sudden depression, can't wake up easy, call for a check up. I've had a few from the accident already back in lately. Might be one of the drugs we gave them.
"Wait.. What? What do you mean?"
I mean that a lot of the racers from the accident that.. Survived, and were put on a certain medication that are having fall backs now. Not just them really. Lots of coma and head trauma patients.. Just get him in for a check up. I'm sure everything's fine. It's not deadly or anything just.. A lot of them come in complaining with a... Reverse side effects. It's difficult to explain, I'm sorry.
"No, no.. That's fine. Okay.. I'll tell him." (Though he probably won't listen..)
Great... How are you doing?
"I'm good. Thanks,I have to go though.. Good bye Ben."...
Lightning walked into his academy where Cleo was. She had called and told him to get over there pronto. Lightning walked in snapping "Alright! I'm here like you asked Cleo!.. Cleo?!.." He called. He faintly heard her near the garage doors of the workshop part of the academy. Lightning followed her voive and found her in there along with two other people.
Cleo pointing to a busted up tool box saying "And this was where students would thrive and achieve great things in mechanics skills..." Lightning quickly walked over asking. "Uh.. Who are they and what are you doing?" Cleo smiled and greeted, "Mr. McQueen!" Fake. "This is Tanya Jars and Hanibal Kite. They are here on your behalf." She explained. Tanya, Hanibal, I give you Lightning McQueen." Hanibal was wearing a lab coat and got up close to Lightning's eyes asking "How have you been feeling Mr. McQueen?" "Uh.. Excuse me?" Asked Lightning.
Then Tanya asked "IS the entire academy busted up like this?" Cleo nodded answering "Yes Mam.. We say it's a break in.. But..." Cleo looked at Lightning who was getting frustrated by Hanibal at the moment. "We just say it was a break in.." "It was a break in." Lightning growled. Cleo nodded replying "Anything you say boss.." Tanya began writing something down.
Getting more and more frustrated, Lightning asked "Excuse me, but exactly why are you two here?" Tanya was the one to answer. "Well, Miss De Frank called and explained how the academy had been running down and.. Hadn't had students in such a period of time." "That's because no one wants to train here!" Lightning snapped. Hanibal snickered saying "I can see why... The place is destroyed." Tanya agreed and... It kind of was really.
"Did you plan to repair any of this Mr. McQueen?" Asked Tanya. Lightning stuttered a bit answering "Well.. I.. No.. I mean.. Not really, i guess. Maybe." "Maybe yes? Or maybe no?" "Maybe... Yes?.." Lightning questioned. Tanya snickered and wrote more down.
"What are you doing? What are you writing there?" Asked Lightning. Hanibal answered for Tanya saying "Oh nothing. Make sure you check the top three boxes for sure." Tanya nodded and check, check, check. This really only frustrated Lightning even more.
"SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!?" He shouted loudly! Tanya, Hanibal and Cleo staring at him like he was crazy! "Well.." Began Tanya, "We came because Miss De Frank warned us that you might not exactly be at your best and may need a.. Required vacation from work." "Suspension? I don't even have students." Complained Lightning. Hanibal nodded and snickered saying "Obviously.. And after being in the room with you.. I see why.." OH Lightning was going to punch that little nerd!
"We agree that it maybe in your academy and our best interest that it temporarily fall under Miss De Frank's management." "WHAT!?" Lightning snapped! Giving Cleo a god awful look! "That or you can sell to us for what.. It's worth left.." Griped Hanibal. Lightning, not wanting Cleo to run the place asked "And how much is that?" Tanya and Hanibal glanced at each other before the woman answered "Well.. We'd have someone come in and make an offer. We couldn't even guess. But.. Everything is either ruined and busted or needs major repair." "Is the original Bolt still here? Might be worth something at an auction." "NO! Stop! GET OUT!" Yelled Lightning! Hanibal raised a finger as if he were about to open his dam mouth when Lightning shouted "GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY!" The two quickly left and assured Cleo that they would be in touch with her with some papers and an estimate for Lightning McQueen.
Once they left though, Lightning lost it at Cleo! "YOU BITCH!" He came at her! Causing Cleo to quickly use one of the cars in the lobby to hide around! "YOU CALLED THEM HERE TO MAKE ME GIVE YOU THE ACADEMY!" "You were selling anyway! Why does it matter to you if you were going to let it sit and rot anyway!?" She had a point there and Lightning did begin to calm down.
Cleo let out a sigh of relief and fixed her hair and shirt as she proudly explained. "Besides.. If you sell, I'm buying and if you don't sell, I get to run the place.. Either way.. Willy's butte is going to make an excellent parking lot.." "What?.." "That dirt track outside.. Gonna make a perfect spot for new parking lot and then in this academy into a shopping center." Lightning couldn't let that happen. "I'll never let you do that." He growled. Cleo giggled reminding. "Well you don't really have a choice.. You already signed the contract.." Lightning was loosing. Loosing badly. Cleo smiled proudly and also added. "Maybe you can sell the Bolt to that scrap yard down town. I'm sure it could make some excellent molds for something." Then left, leaving Lightning in the failure he created...
That night, Cal knocked on Lightning's house door. He told Sally he would talk to him, and he'd keep his word. The door opened and it was clear that something was wrong with Lightning already. "Hey.. Bad day?" cal asked. Lightning nodded silently. Cal then asked "You been watching the races?" Lightning shrugged. Still quiet. "Well.. How about that last wreck.. Poor kid, huh?" Lightning sighed asking "Why are you here Cal?..." "Just to talk. Sally's worried about you." Lightning's brows lowered. "If she is that fucking worried, she shouldn't have filed the dam restraining order on me! I don't want to EVER hear about SALLY, about JACKSON, about RACING EVER AGAIN!" Lightning was pissed.
Cal stepped back a little replying "Woah man.. Not lookin for a fight. What's goin on with you? This ain't you." Lightning almost vented. Almost let his old friend in, but instead just stepped inside saying "Go home Cal.." Shutting the door quietly. Cal stood there a moment. Worried about his friend...
Cal returned home and after a nice dinner with Megan and Mira, began cleaning up from the dinner by washing down a few plates. Megan walked up and began placing a few in the dish washer, smiling at her husband. "Think I'd make a good mayor?" She asked. Cal smiled a little answering "You are good at anything you do Meg. Total confidence in you." Megan almost laughed at that. Still helping Cal clean up dinner mess.
"How is Lightning doing?" She asked. Cal sighed answering "Not that great actually.. I'm seriously worried now. He's shutting people out.. That's not like him at all. Lightnin is.. The kind of guy to jump into the middle of a crowd. Fearless, confident, an attention whore." Megan giggled at that, but it was true. "Not the Lightnin I seen today though.. He was.. Angry.. Maybe even afraid.. Quiet and depressed.. It's like he's crashed all over again." Cal admitted.
Megan stared at her husband and agreed "That's not good.." She muttered. Cal shook his head continuing. "Sally's right. He needs something." Megan and Cal cleaned up, thinking a bit about that Then Meg suggested "Maybe you should try talking to him again." Cal nodded agreeing. "I think I will, and soon. Hey, is it alright if I step out and call Sally. Let her know how it went?" Megan nodded. "Thanks sweetie." Cal cooed and kissed her softly before drying his hands up and taking his phone and stepping outside and sitting down on the steps, calling Sally.
Hello?
"Hey Sally, It's Cal."
Hey, how are things back in town?
Pretty normal really. I talked to Lightnin though like I said I would.
How was he?
"He was.. Off.. Pretty badly to. I think he's super depressed mostly. To me, he acts like he did after his crash in 17"
Do you think it could be something from that?
"What? No, that was a few years ago. I doubt he's hung up on that."
No, I mean.. I talked to a doctor earlier..
"Ben?"
Urm.. Yes.. And he was telling me that the drug was causing reverse effects or something with healing. I don't even know if Lightning is still taking it.
" G. Etc?"
Yes.
"Hmm. I.. I don't know? I know lots of guys who have taken it and are on it and seem fine for the most part."
OH.. Okay. Thanks for talking to him. Will he race anytime soon you think?
"No. I doubt it at all at the rate he's falling... Sorry. I know that's not what you want to hear.."
It's okay.. I'd rather just hear the truth.. Tell Megan I hope she wins..
"Will do. Bye."
Bye...
