[ Weirdly enough, suddenly Alan finds himself momentarily more interested in making sure that Jesse is all right than he is being jerked around by the kidnapper and the story. ]
Well, hey, you helped me get this far. It's only right that I help you with something. What about coffee or something? It's not much, but- I owe you.
[ He waits for her response, but before he can hear it, they're both interrupted by the sound of a ringing phone. He answers it immediately, putting it on speaker so that Jesse can hear it too, and as he listens, his expression turns angry. Well, angrier. Eventually, the call ends and Alan just growls under his breath. ]
Is this really all worth it? How do I even know that Alice is in danger? I know, I shouldn't risk it in case she is, but- I hate being jerked around like this. What do you think about this?
[ There's a part of Alan that still wants to stop for coffee, but with the words of the kidnapper still hanging in the air, that's probably the last thing they should be doing. ]
