    Jakub Bartosz (4:01am): Fuck


    Jakub Bartosz (4:02am): I shouldn''t say something like that


    Jim Anders (4:03am): I think he''d forgive you. Where are you? I''ll come to you

    Jim Anders (4:10am): We need intel


    Jakub Bartosz (4:11am): We need to steer clear of Weiss


    Jakub Bartosz (4:11am): I don''t know why he let us go, but we aren''t worth shit compared to the kids, to him


    Jim Anders (4:12am): Which is why we need information


    Jim Anders (4:12am): Did you get through to them?


    Jakub Bartosz (4:13am): No. None of my messages are going through, calls are dropped immediately


    Jim Anders (4:14am): Fucking great


    Jakub Bartosz (4:15am): I got these dumbasses thinking I have no idea they''re following me. I keep getting bits and pieces about some kind of ritual that needs completing


    Jim Anders (4:16am): I just spotted a couple of those cops from the diner earlier today. I''m gonna trail them


    Jakub Bartosz (4:17am): BE. FUCKING. CAREFUL.


    Jim Anders (4:17am): Nah, I was planning on walking up to them and asking for a fucking cup of tea
