Jake hung up the phone. “Wow,” he said, elated that his band now had a record deal. Then a thought struck him. “Wait – The band! I need to tell the band!” He grabbed the phone and began dialing Frank’s phone number. Then a thought struck him. “Fred! After what happened today, how’s he gonna react when he hears about the record deal?” He dialed faster, hoping that Frank might know what had happened with Fred. The phone rang 5 times before Frank picked up.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Frank. It’s Jake. Guess what!”
“What?”
“We got a record deal! The guys from the record company just called me up!”
“That’s great!”
“I know, except there’s one problem.”
“What?”
“How’s Fred gonna react? I mean, we don’t even know what’s wrong with him!”
“Oh, actually, I do.”
“What!?”
“I know it’s hard for you to understand, but, Fred’s an addict.”
