[ anthony named the conversation "CODE RED!!!" ]

seb
what's code red supposed to mean?

anthony
You fucked up, Stan. You fucked up
bad.

seb
What?

christopher
It's all over the internet, Seb. Haven't
you seen it?

seb
i don't have a clue what's going on,
Chris. You're going to have to be way
more specific.

riley bear
It's an article. Gossip magazine, so
I'm hoping it's not true, that she made
it up.

seb
An article on what? Can somebody
tell me what the hell's going on?

riley bear
The hell did you say to her, Stan?
Why the hell did you think it was
necessary to even engage in a
conversation with her?

seb
Janie?

riley bear
Fuck, it's true then. You did
screw up. What the hell is
wrong with you, Sebastian?

christopher
Let's not have an argument,
we need to think this through.
I don't even know who this Janie
girl is.

riley bear
PRECISELY.

NEITHER DOES THE MEDIA
OR WHOEVER THE HELL
READS THAT ARTICLE, SO IF
YOU WERE TRYING TO HELP,
YOU DIDN'T DO IT WELL.

seb
Okay, calm down, Riles.
Someone send me the link of the
article.

christopher
I messaged it to you on the private
chat. Maybe we can have a discussion
afterwards as to why you deemed it
necessary to tell some random girl
that you would never believe a word
that 'came out of her goddamn mouth.'

seb
Shit.
