[0:00] Yes, sir.
[0:02] We were able to run down that side crack first thing.
[0:04] Right, never.
[0:06] It was Barnes and St. Louis and Mayo Clinic, nothing else.
[0:09] Then this guy is a crack.
[0:10] He must be, yes, sir.
[0:13] I hope you've told that poor Buzzard then, because he was in, you know, raising hell for an hour this morning on this.
[0:19] Tell him.
[0:21] Well, I'll talk to him right now.
[0:22] Yeah, tell him.
[0:23] Okay, I'll call him.
[0:24] Well, he was worried because, you know, he thought that some goddamn buggers or something had done something, you know.
[0:32] But I thought we couldn't have been involved in this.
[0:35] Mayo and St. Louis, right?
[0:37] Right.
[0:38] That's good.
[0:39] Good to know.
[0:40] If it was ever in New York, there's nowhere we can track it.
[0:43] I know, I know.
[0:44] As totally as we can.
[0:48] No, no news reports, at least indicating that.
[0:51] We've checked that very thoroughly, and then... Yeah, yeah.
[0:53] Were you able to talk to Hardsmith?
[0:55] Yeah, he's got a call in now.
[0:57] Okay, fine.
[0:57] Let me know when you call me back.
[0:59] Yes, sir.
