Text Message

Mina Murray to Arthur Quincey

6:45 PM

Mina: omigod NOW who doesn’t answer the phone


Arthur: SORRY SORRY did you find her


Mina: Yeah she’s fine thank god. she’s still at work. Managers mtg.

That’s why she didn’t answer her cell.


Arthur: Oh my god I nearly had a fucking heart attack!


Mina: Me too I’m shaking

When she answered the front desk phone i started crying

and she thought i was a lunatic <__<


Arthur: Well there’s one upside to this.


Mina: If you say something like “at least now Lucy knows

how much we care” i will actually scream


Arthur: NO, at least we can be pretty sure that fuckface is a troll

And not a psychotic murdering kidnapper


Mina: Oh.

Yeah. That’s true.

Unless he’s trying to lull us into a false sense of security

So we let our guard down

And that’s when he really abducts her?????


Arthur: Um.

Gosh, I really hope not.

Maybe I should send a screenshot of this new account to the cops?

Just in case


Mina: Sigh. Yeah. Thanks, A

JFC i just want this all to be over
