After Hours

Disclaimer is and has always been I don't own them, never will alas sadly they belong to others I'll return them as soon as I am done. The 24-Hour Magnificent Challenge #2

Offered by Debra DeYoung (deydeal) - the Answering Machine challenge:

Here is my challenge. Any AU (Yes, I know the old west didn't have answering machines, but I trust you guys to be creative). The answering machine: Write either one (or any number) of the boy's messages on their answering machines. You can include their out going message and whoever calls them during one night. This is a bit old, originally posted ages ago. This takes place in Mog’s lovely A.T.F. AU


"You've reached the home of Chris Larabee please leave a message after the tone..."

::blip...blip..blip...blip...bleep...::

"...'Ey Cowboy... sshit..." The phone clatters and the dial tone cuts in.

"You've reached the home of Chris Larabee please leave a message after the tone..."

::blip...blip..blip...blip...bleep...::

A scraping sound comes across the telephone line and the call abruptly cut off.


"You've reached the home of Chris Larabee please leave a message after the tone..."

::blip...blip..blip...blip...bleep...::

"... dammit..." The soft Texas drawl comes over the line.
"Por favor twehty de depósito cinco pesos..." A taped voice of a telephone operator cuts in.
"Yo Ez ya got some more of them coins?..."
"Por favor twehty de depósito cinco pesos..." The recorded message plays again as a muffled voice in the background interrupts.
"Mr. Tanner... let me..." the caller's voice is replaced by the steady dial tone.

"You've reached the home of Chris Larabee please leave a message after the tone... Vin and Ez tell me where the hell you are... never mind call me on my cell....."

::blip...blip..blip...blip...bleep...::

"Now that was rude..." An indignant southern drawl huffed into the receiver.
"Play nice Ez, otherwise they won't come bail us out...."

Chris smiled as he replayed the message, he'd have to buy JD lunch for saving the digital message off his answering machine. He wasn't going to let those two live this little incident down.
