Chip & Paul

Chip: Paul?

Paul: Why are you calling me?

Chip: Louis' identity is out. Go wake him up. You should be the one to tell him.

Paul: Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Chip: Paul, can you respond to simple instructions?

Paul: I'm getting him! I'm an hour away though. Want me to drag him to the office?

Chip: Yes, we need to discuss how to handle this. It's his identity, but my company.

Paul: I'll be out my door in five minutes.

Chip: I've called a hacker I know. He's called up a news station and got the original email forwarded to him. The IP address is from the city.

Paul: So not Harry? He was gone before this happened.

Chip: It's not Harry.

Voicemail: Chip to Paul

Chip: Hey, I figured it would be a while, but are you too coming here? I don't want to do anything without his approval. He's not spiraling is he? I've got the whole staff here except you two and Randy. Probably screening my calls as he always does. Please get here soon. I'm going to cry if I see one more email in my inbox.

Chip calls Louis' phone, Paul answers.

Paul: I'm busy, Chip.

Chip: Put Louis on the phone this minute! It's almost noon, where the fuck are you guys?

Paul: That's the problem, Chip.

(silence)

Paul: He skipped town.

Chip: What?

Paul: He sent me to get him coffee and left! I tracked his credit cards to the bank, where he emptied his accounts and now he's untraceable. He's gone, Chip.

Chip: Well, at least he's alive. That was always a worry.

Paul: Why aren't you freaking out? He's gone! (sobs) I'm in charge of keeping him safe and he just ran off like that. Checked his messages, didn't even tell Harry.

Chip: Come to the office, please. We can talk when you get here. We'll get a private investigator. Drag him back. We need him. We don't have jobs without Louis Tomlinson.
