Whitebeard sat in his office at his building, having a normal Monday so far, when his phone rang and he saw it was Rakuyo, who worked down on the first floor today. Whitebeard moved and answered it. "Hi, son. Anything up?" Rakuyo spoke and sounded worried. "The FBI are here, asking for you and Haruta." Whitebeard blinked. "Why Haruta?" Rakuyo gave a breath. "They won't say." Whitebeard nodded. "Coming down now." And then he hung up and left, waving for Haruta to join her when he passed her, and quickly giving a small update that had her confused.
When they got down, he saw Lilith looking at some paintings, wearing an emerald coat, and Whitebeard walked over. "Lilith, to what do I owe this?" Lilith hummed and looked at him, before at Haruta. "I would like to speak with Haruta, then you." Whitebeard blinked, and looked at Haruta, who seemed a bit hesitant. "About what?" Asked Haruta. Lilith hummed. "Not out here, you don't want everyone to know, I am sure of it." Haruta seemed more worried, but nodded, and Whitebeard showed them to an empty office, and they went inside. He couldn't hear anything about what they said, before the door opened and Haruta came outside, looking distraught and upset. Whitebeard didn't like this.
He tried to move a hand to her arm, when she looked at him horror stricken. "I am so sorry! I am so sorry!" Whitebeard blinked. "About what?" Haruta was on her way to speak, when Lilith did from inside the room. "Whitebeard, your turn. Now please." Haruta looked at him with guilty eyes, before she ran off, and Whitebeard headed into the room with Lilith.

Marco sat by his desk at the office, doing some light spell checks and such, when the door burst open and a very upset Haruta stood there. Marco stood up, sure something was up, when Haruta spoke. "Call Ace! Now!" Marco blinked. "Wh-" Haruta shook her head. "Now!" Marco blinked, but took up his phone and dialed Ace, who answered after a couple rings. "Hey, Marco, what's up?" He was on his way to speak, as he was on speaker, when Haruta did. "You need to come to the office now! Emergency!" Ace spoke quickly. "On my way." And then hung up.
Marco then looked at Haruta, who was now crying. "What is going on, yoi?" Haruta sniffled and looked up at him, looking so guilty. "I messed up. I thought I did the right thing, but I messed up so bad." Marco didn't know what this was about. "What did you do, yoi?" Before Haruta started, saying who was here, and as she spoke, Ace sent a message that said 'stall whatever is happening if you can', so Marco sent a message to Whitebeard, hoping Lilith wouldn't see. He then looked back at Haruta, who took a deep breath, before she said what she had done.
-x-
Whitebeard looked at Lilith, who sat by the desk inside the room. "What is going on?" Lilith hummed and motioned for a seat, which Whitebeard took, and Lilith hummed. "Did you know hiding or helping someone who is wanted by the federal government is a very serious crime?" Whitebeard blinked, before he frowned. "I am not sure what you are talking about right now." Lilith hummed. "Do you know the FBI's most wanted list? We have a list of top 10 most wanted fugitives." Whitebeard nodded. "I have heard about it, yes. Why? I am not helping anyone on it."
Lilith hummed, before she took up a small recorder. "You see, if you were, your business would suffer, your children would suffer. Just if you are connected to it, you will suffer." Lilith smiled. "You got it?" Whitebeard blinked. "I still don't get this." Lilith hummed and moved the recorder up. "We, or the line you call if you have a clue, got this call a bit ago, I am sure you will recognize the voice." And Lilith hit play, and he could hear Haruta's voice. "Hi, your most wanted list has a Holly Celian Hopper on it, she goes by the alias Celine Will, she is often at the gun range on South Carolina Street." Then a man spoke. "And who is calling in this tip?" Haruta spoke. "No one, just a tip." Then the line hung up. Lilith hummed. "So, that was not your daughter? Calling about one of our most wanted people? And before you ask, yes, it was legit. So, want to explain?"
Whitebeard blinked, no idea about this, before he remembered Haruta had asked Ace for a burner phone to make an anonymous phone call, this had to be it. But he had no idea about it. Yes, Haruta had a couple times before the call been at the gun range, joining Jozu as he wanted to show how it was wielding a gun after she had asked how much sound it made. But she had stopped a while ago… just before the phone call, and had asked Jozu to be careful there. Whitebeard looked at Lilith. "I have no idea what you are talking about, I didn't know she called. Or that she knew who that was. I know she went a few times to the gun range with her brother, but that was it. Did you catch her?" Lilith hummed. "With this tip, we did. And I just heard it and recognized the voice. Imagine that. And after all this. And guess what? I don't believe in coincidences." Whitebeard was on his way to speak, when he got a message he saw on his clock, which was from Marco and said 'Stall her'. Whitebeard was so thankful Jozu had pushed for a smart watch right now, so he could see messages on it.
Whitebeard looked at Lilith. "I am sure people sound like her. Yes, it does sound like my daughter, but I am sure many have her voice as well." Lilith hummed. "Maybe. But this is her, we do have video surveillance as well, matching the time of the call." Whitebeard nodded. "I would like to see this." Lilith sighed, but got up her phone, and showed a video of Haruta, he could barely see her face, before she went into the alleyway Ace had mentioned, then coming back out some seconds later and heading off the screen. Lilith hummed. "And the call was placed while she was in that alleyway, as many do that to throw us off. But not this time." He did remember Ace telling Haruta to not speak with her voice, but she might have forgotten to do that.
He looked at Lilith. "So, you have a voice, you have my daughter going into an alleyway at that time, but is that enough?" Lilith hummed. "It is. We have enough to take this to court, and you will lose everything. So, did you know? You can save yourself." Whitebeard shook his head. "No, I didn't. How would I know? And she most likely did it to help you. She knows right from wrong." Lilith hummed. "So you don't know what your children are up to?" Whitebeard blinked. "I got many, and they are adults. I have faith in them to do what is right, and to clue me in if they need it. She just called in a tip. She helped you, and you are going to ruin her life? What if I tell this to the media." Lilith hummed. "Yes. Imagine the headlines. 'Father tries to help daughter hide a felon on the FBI's most wanted list'. Imagine it." Okay, this was not the way to go.
Whitebeard got an idea. "What will happen now?" Lilith hummed, before she started to explain what would happen, both if he knew and didn't know, being sure to ask stupid questions now and then to haul out time. And then they had been going for almost half an hour, he got another message, that said 'good job, finish it up, get Haruta in again'. Whitebeard would. He did let Lilith finish, before Whitebeard nodded. "But she helped you. She probably only wanted to help. She might have seen this woman, and she did the right thing and called it in." Lilith hummed. "Maybe I need to talk with her again then." Whitebeard nodded. "Maybe you do." Lilith hummed. "Fine. We can switch again."
Whitebeard nodded, that was good. And he stood up and went outside to see Haruta there, and sent her in again, her looking more collected now. When she was, he saw Marco a bit away and headed over, and when he got there, he blinked when he saw Ace was well. Having hidden a bit out of view. "When did you come?" Ace hummed. "About 10 minutes ago. I need some hours. Just have Haruta do this, tell what she will do now, and I will do my work. This will go fine." Ace smiled. "I am sure of it. Now, should you need it before, call me." Then Ace left. Whitebeard looked at Marco, who looked worried, and Whitebeard spoke. "You know?" Marco nodded. "Haruta told. She just wanted to help, yoi. She just saw her, and wanted to call it in." Whitebeard nodded. "I guessed that. I hope she is okay." He said as he looked towards the door she was behind. Marco gave a breath. "I do too."
It was about half an hour later that the door opened and Lilith and Haruta came out, Lilith giving a hum to him. "I will be in touch." Then she left, and they looked at Haruta, who spoke when Lilith was outside the door. "Oh my God! I went full lawyer on her! And it felt so good!" Marco blinked. "What do you mean, yoi?" Haruta shook her head a bit. "I questioned everything she said, I used her words against her. I said she didn't have a lawyer or someone to arrest me here, her alone isn't enough. So she obviously doesn't have enough evidence for an arrest. And I told my story, and every time she spoke over me, I just waited for her to finish, before I started again as she interrupted me. I said I would involve the media and the FBI myself, and go to court against her, as I just did what was right. And I questioned every single word she said! And it just felt so right!" Whitebeard blinked. "That is because you are an amazing lawyer." Haruta smiled, before she looked at Marco. "Ace left?" Marco nodded. "He did, he said he needed some hours." Haruta nodded. "I wonder what he will do. This is serious. But I swear I only did it to help." Whitebeard smiled. "I know you did. Because you always do the right thing." Haruta smiled.
They then tried to go back to their day, and after 5 hours, when they were back home, Haruta came and asked for him and Marco, so they went to Whitebeard's office, and Haruta showed an official letter in her digital mailbox, which basically said she was cleared, they know she did it to be helpful, she had not been in contact with this wanted person, which wasn't mentioned by name, and that the FBI would not be involved anymore in this case, and a thank you for helping catch a dangerous person. When they had read it, Haruta looked at Marco. "What is Ace? How the Hell did he do this so fast! Did he call The President!? Like what!" Marco hummed. "He works fast, and he is amazing, yoi." Marco then smiled at Haruta. "I am glad you are okay. That was so wrong of them." Haruta nodded. "Yes. I will never call in a tip again. I just wanted her to be caught, not for me to be in the crossfire!" Whitebeard sighed. "I feel Lilith has it out for us." Marco nodded. "I am sure she does. Why else go to this length, yoi?" That was true.
Haruta gave a breath. "Can we just put this behind us now? It is over, and I don't want to think about this." Whitebeard and Marco nodded, the latter speaking. "And we will. It is over now, yoi." Whitebeard nodded. "Yes, and now, it is soon dinner." Haruta smiled, and they went on with their day. He did tell those who knew Lilith showed up, it was all handled, and it was nothing. They all seemed to take that as an answer.
-x-
Marco hummed as he walked into a restaurant, going to meet ace for dinner today. It had been 3 days since the FBI showed up at their office building and went after Haruta. When he walked in, he quickly saw Ace and headed up to him, moving to kiss him before he sat down. When he was seated, Marco hummed. "How are you?" Ace chuckled. "I am good. Had a good day today. A calm day, which is a bit rare. You?" Marco hummed. "Same, yoi. Been a good and calm day. Did you know about the call Haruta made?" Ace shook his head. "No, I didn't, not before she explained. I was wondering why she needed to make an anonymous phone call. But it is fixed now." Marco nodded. "How did you fix it, yoi?" Ace hummed. "I called in a favor. I mean, she did help them, so they shouldn't go after her." Marco agreed on that, and was so glad they knew Ace.
And before Haruta had gone back with Lilith, Ace had essentially given a prep talk, making her feel more sure of herself, and then taking Lilith down it looked like. And he knew Haruta would be an amazing lawyer when she was done in school. Haruta was amazing, and it was clear Ace also saw that and believed in her. They then enjoyed the dinner, before it was over and they parted ways, going to meet again at Ace's house in 2 days, on Saturday, as Luffy and Sabo were gone, so Ace had the place for himself, and Marco was going to spend the night.
So Marco went about his days, before Saturday came and he went to Ace's place, and Ace greeted him by the door, before they went inside and started a show as they spoke. After a bit, Marco did wonder where Luffy and Sabo were, to which Ace hummed. "They are with those who raised us, mostly them. They live off grid, no electronics and such. And I don't mean just a few electronics. I mean no cell phones, no Tvs, no nothing. Didn't know about them before I was like 7. If you wanted someone's attention that was a bit away, you needed to yell." Marco blinked. "One wouldn't have guessed that, yoi. You seem very adept with a phone, yoi. And just electronics in general." Ace nodded. "Yeah. Where we grew up is how we started our business. We had electricity, meaning we had a couple generators, and we helped fix and adjust them, especially Sabo. So we made it our business. And Luffy and Sabo still visit them."
Marco nodded. "But you don't? I hope I didn't make you not go, yoi." Ace shook his head. "No, I was… banished. I got my own phone at 9 years old, and one day, I forgot to hide one of them when I was 15. So yeah. You should have seen it when I first knew you could call people on a phone, when you could video call, I was so amazed. My mentor, Azuruko, the one who took me in and taught me all I know, said there were no words for it. Not even a kid on Christmas could compare. And then got mad when I started to call and video call random people around the world just to see how far it would reach. He wasn't impressed. But it was so cool, I remember it so well. And he got me my first phone and computer. I owe him a lot."
Marco nodded. "Do you visit him, yoi?" Ace sighed. "He… died a bit ago, but I do visit him in the sense of his grave." Marco moved a hand to Ace's. "I am sorry for your loss. Losing people one cares about is never easy." Ace shook his head. "It is never easy, no. He was everything to me, he half raised me from 6, and fully from 15, when I was banished. But that is life, unpredictable." Marco nodded. "It sure is, yoi."
They then spoke as the show went on, half watching it. It didn't take long for them to end up cuddling on the couch, Ace lying with his head on his lap, Marco's hand going through Ace's hair. It was so nice. After a bit, as an episode of the show was done, Marco paused so the next one wouldn't start, before he looked at Ace, who looked confused as he sat up. "You want to watch something else?" Marco shook his head. "No, but I want to tell you something." And Marco moved to grab Ace's hands, and Ace looked a bit unsure. "What is it?" Marco hummed. "Ace, you are amazing, and I like to do this in a moment that fits. Ace, Ace D Portgas, I love you, yoi."
Ace blinked, before he smiled. "You are amazing too, and I love you too." Marco smiled, then they shared a kiss, before they leaned back and Marco felt so happy. "This is perfect, yoi." Ace nodded. "It is. Want to maybe order some lunch?" Marco nodded. "I would love that." And they ordered some lunch to be delivered, cuddling on the couch, and it was just perfect. As they were speaking, Ace hummed. "Also, I am not always the best at saying 'I love you' now and then, just so you know." Marco hummed. "It is fine. As long as we know, and there are many ways to say it without saying it, yoi." Ace nodded. "That is true." They then enjoyed the day, before it was over and Marco spent the night, before he left home around noon on Sunday.
When Monday came, he blinked when Sabo called him, and Marco answered it. "Hey, Sabo, anything up?" Sabo hummed. "No, not really. Just. At 5pm, could you head to an office and give Ace some food? He has meetings all day and he needs to eat, he would really appreciate it." Marco nodded. "Sure, yoi. Where?" Sabo hummed. "At Eastern Passage 4. He is done at 5pm." Marco nodded. "I will do that, yoi." Sabo hummed. "Good. Ace will be happy to see you, especially with food. At the bakery close to the building, you can see it from the entrance to where Ace is, it is called Backstube, I will have an order ready there under your name. You just need to pay, is that okay?" Marco nodded. "Sounds perfect, yoi. I will be there 15 minutes early." Sabo chuckled. "Perfect, Ace will be happy." Marco hoped so.
He then chatted a bit with Sabo, before he hung up. And when it was time, Marco left and grabbed what he needed from the bakery, or more like cafe/bakery, which was a Simit ring with cheese and ham, and a soft drink, before he went to the entrance to the building Sabo mentioned. And when it was about 5 past 5pm, some people came out, which included Ace. And when Ace saw him, he blinked. "Hey, what are you doing here?" Marco hummed. "Got you this, yoi." And handed the small bag with the food, and when Ace saw it, he blinked. "Oh my God! I love you so much!" And Ace moved and took a bite of the food, seeming to be really hungry. Marco chuckled. "Hope it is good. Sabo also helped arrange this." Ace nodded. "Yeah, and they are usually sold out of this, so this is amazing. You got your car here?" Marco nodded, which had Ace hum. "Could you drive me to my next meeting? Would save me some time." Marco smiled. "I would love to."
Then they went to the car and they chatted as Ace ate his food, as well as giving directions, before they reached the destination, and Ace had some extra time, so they spent it talking in the car, before Ace had to leave and looked at him. "Thank you so much for the food and drink, it was amazing and just perfect. You are amazing." Marco smiled. "I try to be, yoi. Now, go get them! I just hope that fit." Ace chuckled. "Fit perfectly Have a good day." And Ace kissed him, and when he leaned back, Marco smiled. "Love you, yoi." Ace smiled. "Same. See you later." And Ace got out and headed into a building. Marco hummed. Ace had said he wasn't the best at saying 'I love you', and it was fine, Ace had also said it before, just seeming so happy to see food. He knew Ace had hectic days. He was sure things would be fine.
-x-
The next day, Whitebeard sat in his office at home. Most were out at the office or doing other things. Whitebeard had decided to have home office today since he woke up feeling a bit off. He would usually head in, but Marco said it was no issue and to stay home, and do what he could there, while he went to do the other stuff, and it sounded like a good plan. Whitebeard did feel better now, he felt like himself, and was doing paperwork and looking over contracts. He did have a meeting at noon, which came and went, and it went well.
It was later that the doorbell rang and Whitebeard went to open, not sure who it would be as he didn't have any meetings right now, and the clock was nearing 4pm, when he was off the clock for today. When he opened the door, he was met with Ace and blinked. "Ace? Did we have a meeting today? Marco is out until 7pm." Ace nodded. "I know. And I am sorry for just showing up, but Luffy and Sabo are away for today and I was feeling lonely and was close by and didn't want to head home to an empty home. I can find somewhere else to go if I am intruding." Whitebeard shook his head. "Not at all. Come in, feel like home." Ace gave a smile and came in as he said "Thank you. I will leave later, when Luffy is back home." Whitebeard closed the door as Ace was inside. "No rush. Better to be with someone than alone at times." Ace nodded. "Yeah. I will go watch some Tv if it's okay." Whitebeard said fine and that he would finish up some work.
When he had a bit later, the clock now a quarter past 4, he went to Ace, who was watching a movie it looked like, when he asked what he was watching, Ace said it was a movie called Watchmen, and it was almost halfway through, but Ace had watched it before, and they could put on something else. So they settled on a series to just run in the background as Ace sat on his phone, Whitebeard reading, and they spoke a bit now and then. Some did come home and were surprised to see Ace, but didn't mind it, and did their own things.
It was when the clock was almost 4:45pm that the doorbell rang again, and Whitebeard moved to answer it, when Ace spoke. "Do me a favor; don't open the door." Whitebeard blinked and looked at Ace. "Is it someone dangerous? Are you hiding?" Ace hummed. "Might be hiding, but it is no one bad. Just annoying." Whitebeard blinked, on his way to ask more, when he heard Vista yell. "Uh, Pops! Can you come here please?! Like now!" Whitebeard blinked, and Ace spoke. "Just go. Show that annoying woman in here. That is Hina. Tell Hina that if she's ready to agree to my terms, she can come in." Whitebeard blinked. "I have not heard about anyone called Hina, the only one I know would be the Secretary of Defence, but she has said she has a rare name." Ace hummed. "It is rare, yes. I've not met anyone else other than her either." Whitebeard blinked, on his way to speak as this couldn't be real, The Secretary of Defence couldn't be here, when Vista yelled again. "Pops! Please come! I don't know what to do!" Okay, so maybe this was real.
Whitebeard went to the front door and when he got so he could see who was on the porch, Whitebeard stopped. He expected it to be Hina, the Secretary of Defence, but while yes, she was there, it was not the one who had him shocked. It was no other than both Daisuke and Moira, the president and vice president of the United States of America, and many security officers with them. Whitebeard didn't know what to do. Daisuke spoke. "I am sorry to intrude, Mr Newgate. But is there a Mr Ace D Portgas here? I have something I need to talk with him about." Whitebeard nodded. "Of course, Mr President. But… Ace said that Hina, the Secretary of Defence, was only allowed if she was ready to agree to his terms." The President nodded. "I have not yet heard his terms, only from Hina that they would be too much. Where is he if I may ask?" Whitebeard moved and showed them to his living room, where Ace was. The president then asked Hina to stay behind, which she didn't seem happy about, as well as the security.
As they got into the room, Ace spoke as he didn't see them yet, his back to them. "Hina, I have told you my terms." The president spoke. "I want to hear them, Ace. Hina says they are too much, but won't repeat them." Ace stood up as he smiled as he turned. "Daisuke! Moira! I did not expect you would come." He said as he hugged them, who hugged back. Daisuke spoke. "This is a serious situation. I don't think Hina managed to express how much we need your help." Ace hummed. "She mentioned something about some files, but nothing more." Daisuke sent a look at him, and Ace spoke. "He is good." Daisuke nodded and looked back at Ace. "The files are not just 'some files'. They hold a lot, but they are all encrypted and in code, but can be cracked. If they are cracked in the wrong hands, not only will America be in danger, but much more. It is code on some of our defences, and secret agents that we have around. May I ask what your terms were?" That sounded very serious.
Ace hummed. "My terms are that I want my file at the FBI to be deleted, after I get a copy. I know they have one, as when I went on a date with my boyfriend, Marco Fishback, they had some issue with them for a reason they also won't tell, and they were sure I was a no good outlaw based on what they knew." The president blinked. "That were your terms?" Ace nodded. "Yes. But now that I think about it, I want to up it. The files the FBI have on Whitebeard, aka Edward Newgate, his company and family, I want them deleted and a copy to myself as well." The President nodded. "That is not at all a huge ask for what we are asking for you to do. The regular terms go for us, and that, your file and their file that the FBI has will be deleted and you will be given a full and open copy, not redacted at all. They will be given to you once you return, but the files will be deleted no matter what."
The president then held out his hand, and Ace took it as he spoke. "Glad you took my terms seriously. Hina laughed and said no. They were too demanding." They then let go after shaking, and Daisuke spoke as he had a small frown. "I now understand, I need to have a serious chat with Hina about this. Asking for some files to be deleted and given to you, is absolutely not a high demand. Are you available now for a full debrief? We can do it in my car." Ace hummed. "You got the new one I spoke about?" The president nodded. "Yes, and I must say, the Lamborghini Urus is an amazing car. Shall we?" Ace nodded and looked at him. "Tell Marco I said hi, and I will be gone for a few days, in case I don't answer my phone." Whitebeard nodded. "No issue. Be safe, Ace." Ace nodded and left, the president and vice president giving a goodbye as well, and Whitebeard was shocked. Ace was so calm, and this was obviously not their first interaction either. Ace must be on high demand.
Well, Whitebeard now had something to tell everyone. As he walked to the front door as everyone left, Hina looking miffed, Vista still looked shocked, and when they all had left, Vista looked at him. "Was that…" Whitebeard nodded. "Yes. That was the president, vice president, and secretary of defense of the United states. They need Ace's help." Vista nodded. "I swear, if Marco messes this up, he is a goner." Whitebeard nodded, that might be true. If this relationship ended, he hoped it would be on good terms.
When the rest came home, Vista told what had happened, that the president had been here, and Whitebeard confirmed it. It did seem like a light bulb went off in Haruta's head, as Ace most likely had called The President about the FBI issue and had it fixed. They were shocked, and when Marco came home, Whitebeard asked to speak with him in private, and when they were, Marco hummed. "What is it, Pops?" Whitebeard used a second to figure out how to say this. "We had some visitors today. One of which was Ace, who was hiding from someone that showed up." Marco blinked. "Someone bad?" Whitebeard shook his head. "No. Not someone bad. But it was Daisuke, aka, The President." Marco blinked and seemed shocked. "What, yoi?" Whitebeard nodded. "Yes. He needed Ace's help. And Ace said to say he said hi, and would be gone for a few days, in case he didn't answer his phone."
Marco blinked. "He hid from the president? Why, yoi?" Whitebeard hummed. "I think he was hiding from Hina The Secretary of Defence, but the president showed up. They made a deal." Marco blinked, before he chuckled. "Of course Ace knows the president and he needed Ace's help, yoi. Wow." Whitebeard nodded. "It was a shock. When are you meeting Ace next?" Marco hummed. "On Friday after work, yoi. But we might call tomorrow, but based on this, we'll see." Whitebeard nodded. It was Tuesday today. "Okay, hopefully it goes fine." Marco hummed. "Ace is very good at his job, yoi." Whitebeard smiled. "He is." Then they went and ate dinner, as Thatch was just finished with it.
-x-
The next day, Marco hummed as he sat in his office, looking over some files, when his phone rang and he saw it was Ace. The clock was soon 6pm, when they had said they would call. Marco moved and answered it. "Hey, yoi." Ace answered in his usual voice. "Hey back to you. You good?" Marco nodded. "I am, you? I heard you hid here and then the president showed up, yoi?" Ace chuckled. "Yeah. I was originally hiding from Hina, The Secretary of Defence, but apparently Daisuke really did need my help, so he tracked me down. I hope Whitebeard wasn't too shocked." Marco shook his head. "No, not too shocked, yoi. But shocked. Everyone was." Ace chuckled. "Yeah, I get that. Wanna meet on Saturday? I can't on Friday. Sabo and Luffy are out, so I got the house to myself." Marco hummed. "I would love to do something, yoi. Just being with you is amazing." Ace chuckled. "I am looking forward to this. Meet at my place at noon?" Marco nodded. "I would like that, yoi. How is it going with the president?" Ace chuckled and told it was going fine, before they chatted a bit, before Ace said he needed to go, when they had been talking for almost an hour.
