Lucy
Dad, I don’t know, I’m with them now. They’re all running around. They’re bricking it…. Because they basically pat me on the head for two hours. The one in charge is a bitch…. It said, “I’m sorry, please forgive me”. It’s turned off again now. I don’t get it. Dad, I’ll call you when there’s news ok? (to Nikesh) Do you have kids?
Nikesh
A daughter, three weeks old.
Lucy
Congratulations.
Nikesh
Ms Phelps, we have every available unit out looking for Pip and for Jamie. But… I’m sure you understand that time is not our friend, here. I need you to think, pretty hard. Is there been anything, anything at all, recently, that has given you pause for thought?
Lucy
The truth is I’ve been quite preoccupied. I’ve been preparing for a trial… I haven’t been… I don’t know, paying attention.
Nikesh
Ms Phelps, do you have access to your husband’s bank accounts?
Lucy
Of course, I mean, everything’s joint and… Jamie’s an accountant, so he manages all of our money, but I think I can get it up on my phone.
Nikesh
Could you do that now?
Lucy
Sure.
Nikesh
I’ll be back in a minute.
