---
"All right."
---
"Yes. days. Not weeks or months."
---
Bradley jumps back and blinks at the crow.
---
Byron is working in his office.

Rivers of tears!
And then! .. The closet very slowly creaks open.
--
"How'd you get into the bodyguarding business?"
--
He wrinkles his nose.
--
The crow is trying to look like a tough guy. It puffs its chest out at Bradley.
--
Meanwhile, the smarter of the two is pecking on Byron's door.

Richard looks towards the closet door. "List?"
---
"I needed money."
---
Crossword!
--
Bradley gives the birdie a suspicious look and reaches to pick up the letter.
---
Byron says, "Who's there?"

Angie straightens and also looks at the closet.
List peeks out and looks around.
--
"Is that your dream job?"
--
"Do you think he misses you?"
--
The bird picks up the second letter and flicks it at Bradley. Caw!
--
Peck peck peck.

"Hi, List." Richard sits up straighter. "Is my father okay?"
---
"Dream job?" He scratches at his head.
---
"Doubtful."
---
Bradley makes a face then looks at the letters.
---
Byron eventually gets annoyed and throws the door open.

Watch!
List creeps out and stays near the door. He nods. ".. Yes."
--
"Yeah."
--
"He might."
--
They're both addressed to Aria!
--
The bird flutters back from the door and gives Byron a dirty look.

"Can we see him?"
---
"I don't know." He shrugs.
---
She wrinkles her nose.
---
Bradley blinks then goes to locate an Aria.
---
Byron frowns at the bird. "What do you want?"

"Yes, but.. There is a condition."
--
"Really? What about when you were a kid?"
--
He smiles. "No?"
--
The bird follows!
--
Horace tries to strut on into the office.

"A condition?"
---
"I just wanted to play around."
---
"No."
---
He knocks on Aria's room. She answers the door while hugging a stuffed bear with one arm. "Yes?"
---
"Damn birds." He follows the bird.

"Yes.. You must stay in the closet. Stay close so that you can get away if anyone comes in."
Angie nods. "Okay."
--
"Ah. How old are you?"
--
"Mm. Why didn't both girls come with you?"
--
The bird tilts its head and looks at her.
--
Horace strides in and hops up onto Byron's desk. He looks around for some ink.

Richard nods. "Okay."
---
"Twenty-eight?" Smile!
---
"Aria is not ready for this sort of thing."
---
"You have some letters." He holds them out.
"I do?" She takes the letters.
---
There is some ink open already since Byron had been writing.
Byron stands by the desk and frowns at Horace.

".. You promise?" He looks back and forth between them.
"Yes. We promise." She stands.
--
"Was that a question?" He laughs.
--
"Do you think she's lonely?" Sip!
--
Caw.
--
Horace dips his beak in the ink and writes HELLO on the first paper he sees.

"I promise."
---
"Eh.. no?"
---
"Most likely."
---
Bradley points down to the crow. "The bird brought them."
She blinks at the birdie. "Oh. Nice birdie."
---
FROWN. "Hello."

".. Very well. Come along." He enters the closet.
Angie follows!
--
"Are you really twenty-eight?"
--
"They don't have many friends, do they?"
--
The bird clicks its beak.
--
Graffiti! 'HOW ARE YOU?'

Richard also follows!
---
"Yeah."
---
"It is difficult to make any that far aaway."
---
"Thank you birdie!"
Bradley looks at the birdie, looks at Aria, then smiles slightly and wanders off.
---
"Fine."
