Knox

Rule #13: Keep Cell Phones on Silent.

Frost:

I need an update on Trapgate.

Spencer:

I offered to take the trap off his hands. He declined.

Frost:

Sounds awfully territorial.

Rook:

My house is literally my territory.

Spencer:

He almost shoved his whiskey sour down my throat.

Rook:

In your case, silence would be an improvement.

Frost:

eye emoji I'm sensing tension here, gentlemen.

Rook:

No tension. I have a new lawyer, and plans are in place. Problem solved.

Reed:

I leave for one week, and my friend goes rogue. What lawyer? What plan?

Rook:

We are not friends, Cal.

Reed:

Sure we are. Our girls are best friends.

Frost:

OUR GIRLS

Wells:

You're blowing up my phone at 7:30 on my day off. Desist immediately.

Frost:

Things are just getting good. Are you marrying her?

Rook:

I can't trust any of you to keep your mouths shut around your mommies. Case pending. Leave it at that.

Reed:

I won’t say anything. I won’t even tell my perfect girlfriend.

Frost:

Sure, rub it in that we’re single. Classy.

Wells:

Actually, Rook, I'm invested in your success. What else is the point of this dictatorial chat but to keep the rest of us from getting trapped in a marriage scheme?

Spencer:

Except Cal, who apparently enjoys monogamy.

Reed:

Every day. Usually more than once.

Frost:

Ew… Tell me more.

Rook:

I'm meeting with my legal counsel today. My advice: Sign nothing your mothers hand you.

Frost:

Make my mommy pay for my meals so I don't sign the checks. Got it.

Wells:

You already make your mommy pay for your meals.

Frost:

Yeah, but now I have an excuse.

Spencer:

Does Gemma know you're meeting with legal counsel?

Frost:

… Why isn't he answering?

Reed:

You DID include her, right?

Frost:

HE'S STILL NOT ANSWERING

Rook:

Her participation isn't required.

Frost:

Gasp.

Reed:

If Ruth finds out I knew this and didn't say anything, she'll turn my bones into monk dust.

Wells:

…what?

Reed:

Nvm. I saw nothing.

Cal Reed has left the chat.

Frost:

He is so pussy whipped.

Spencer:

So is Rook.

Knox Rook has left the chat.
