DTH Jon noticed the ringing tone sounded a little weird. It was very distorted and almost unrecognisable. It gradually settled down to a familiar tone.

"Hello?" An uncertain male voice answered from the speaker.

"Hi. I know this is probably a bit weird but I'm another Jon with a DTH." DTH Jon explained.

"Yeah?" The other Jon asked.

"Actually before we continue. Is Karyn there?"

"Yeah."

"Cool, you better put me on speaker, so you don't have to repeat all this."

"He wants to speak to both of us." The other Jon said, apparently to his own Karyn.

"Who?" Karyn's voice said at the other end.

"Me."

DTH Jon decided to explain for her benefit. "Don't be alarmed Karyn, I'm another Jon with a DTH."

"Oh," she paused, "okay."

"Prime Jon according to my phone." The Other Jon told them.

"Really? It doesn't give me a name at my end."

"Who made you the king of the DTH?" DTH Jon wondered why this other Jon was so hostile.

"Hey man, don't get angry with me. I just wished up a phone to talk to you guys. I didn't pick the names. Maybe we've done the highest number of hops or something."

"So what does the phone directory call me?"

"Clean Shirt Jon."

"Fair enough. So what is this about?"

"A couple of things really..." DTH Karyn spoke quietly in his ear before he could continue.

"Ask him about ARD Jon." She said.

"Yeah I'll ask him." He turned his attention back to the phone. "Ok first off, did you steal money from ARD Jon?" There was a long silence.

"Well I borrowed it." CS Jon told him.

"I'm disappointed in you. I didn't think you were capable of that kind of behaviour." CS Jon went on the defensive.

"Don't you judge me, lord of the DTH, you don't even know me." There was that hostility again DTH Jon noted. CS Jon was wrong too.

"Calm down. Actually we have met, remember in the garden, " DTH Jon clarified, "Zoe's garden, where we all got together. I was the guy organising the group hop."

"Well that makes sense. Bossing us all around then too..." Before he could continue there sounded like a struggle at the other end of the phone. DTH Jon was pretty sure he heard a shushing noise too. It was CS Karyn who carried on the conversation.

"Sorry about that. I'm sure he wants to pay for his mistakes." DTH Jon had already dealt with it. It had taken considerable effort but he was ten thousand dollars richer.

"Well I sorted out everything with ARD Jon so you don't have anything to be concerned about but if you guys want to help, there is something you can do. In fact it was the main reason I called."

"Sure what is it?"

"Jon should have got a notification on the DTH about a weird timeline." There was another short pause.

"Yeah." She said.

"We were wondering if you guys could investigate that and find out what's going on. We've figured it's some sort of device, a very powerful one probably."

"I'm sure we can manage that. Just one question though."

"What?"

"If it's important, why are you asking us? It's quite clear my Jon is untrustworthy, entitled and quick to anger." DTH Jon couldn't deny that.

"Oh we'd do it but we're kind of busy with a government conspiracy and some other stuff." DTH Karyn tapped him on the shoulder. "Karyn wants to talk." He handed her the phone.

"Okay"

"Hi," DTH Karyn said, "look I don't know if you've got to that point yet but my Jon and I came to blows over his new attitude since the DTH wish made him smarter."

"I know how you feel. I was ready for walking out on him before you called."

"Well we resolved it by having Jon put me in charge of the team. Maybe you should try that and he'd be a better person for it."

"Oh, honey I'm already in charge and I decided, not Jon." DTH Karyn grinned at DTH Jon. "Speak to you guys later. Bye." The call ended.

DTH Jon folded up the phone. "Okay that's dealt with, what's next?" He asked.
