Brrring... Brrrrring...
*beep*
???:
Hello? This is Maya.
Mia:
Hey Maya, it's me.
???:
Mia! What's up? You haven't called in a while.
Mia:
Sorry, I've been so busy. How you been?
???:
Well, LONELY. And it's all YOUR fault. Nah, I'm just teasing. I've been great! I'm finally getting used to having my own place.
Mia:
That's good to hear. Actually, I'm calling because I have a favor to ask.
???:
I know, I know. You want me to hold evidence for you?
Mia:
Sharp as always! There's a lot of buzz about the upcoming trial... I just don't feel safe keeping the evidence here.
???:
I gotcha. So, what is it this time?
Mia:
It's... a clock.
???:
A clock?
Mia:
Yeah, it's made to look like that statue, "The Thinker." And it tells you the time! I thought you might like it. You always liked toys.
???:
Hey! I'm not a little girl anymore, Sis!
Mia:
Now, now. You know I'm only teasing. Ah, I should probably tell you, the clock isn't talking right now.
???:
Huh? It's not working? That's lame!
Mia:
I had to take the clockwork out. Sorry. I put some papers inside it instead.
???:
Papers? Is that the evidence, then? Hmm, well... there's a possibility that it might turn out that way, yes.
Mia:
Can you come by the office tonight, say 9:00, to pick it up? I'll be in a pretrial meeting until then.
???:
Okay, Sis, but I expect dinner! Something good! Like... burgers! I could really go for a good burger.
Mia:
Okay, okay. We'll hit the usual joint.
???:
Alright! It's a deal! Okay, Sis, see you soon!
Mia:
Yep. I'll be waiting, Maya.

[Conversation recorded. September 5, 9:27 AM]
*September 5, 8:57 PM, Fey & Co. Law Offices*
???:
Now, Miss Fey, I'll take what's mine... the papers.
Mia:
I'm sorry, but I can't give you what I don't have.
???:
Miss Fey, you are a poor liar. Why, I see it right over there... That must be "The Thinker" that swallowed those papers.
Mia:
How could you know...?
