“Hi, this is Pike. I can’t answer at the moment. Please leave your address after the beep and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks.” The computer beeped.

“Pike, hi this is Kevin. I just wanted to thank you again for a great night last night. I spoke with my cousin today and we’re planning on meeting up this weekend. If you’re still willing to take me down there, I’d be happy for the company. Just call me back and let me know what day works best for you.”
