For you, because I'm not there, and because you're obliging that way, and because you'll never see that bikini again unless you do.
1) Make sure Doug doesn't rob Gideon. Not because it's a bad thing, because actually it's kind of funny, but because this is all very complicated and I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. You know me and my bad feelings. Really, it's a bad feeling and not too much vodka tonight, I swear.
2) See if Nate will tell you about what he's been seeing. By seeing I mean Seeing. He's being all cryptic and disturbing. It doesn't sound good, Pete. It sounds like he has a Plan. And we all know what happens when Nate has Plans.
3) Tell me what time it is in Samarkand? Yes, I'm in Samarkand. I ask because my watch is broken and someone hit me over the head. This was before the vodka.
4) I thought there was a four. There is no four. Three is nicely symmetrical, no?
Um. Anyway. I promise I'm not in any trouble this time. All snug as a bug in a nice hotel room in Samarkand, with vodka, and even when the unconscious security guards wake up, they think I'm blonde.
Night?

3) By my watch, it should be about half four in the morning. Go to bed, for christ's sake.

2) I think it's a precog thing. If he starts speaking in riddles, feel free to smack him for me.
3) I just got up, I'll have you know. Nice long vodka-induced coma. I suspect I'm possibly drinking a little bit too much these days, but Nate keeps insisting on sending me to Central Asia.
Call you tonight? I should be in Tashkent waiting for a flight out by then.
