Date: February 4th Subject: RE: I'm Sorry From: Tori Walker To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: Jonny, I just need some space. Please. I knew you had a gambling problem, but this is crazy. I can't stay in that disgusting apartment any longer. Not when you're just throwing credits away that you could be using to move. I don't want to give you an ultimatum, but this just isn't going to work if something doesn't change. Put some thought into it. I mean seriously think about it. Decide what it is you want. I'm going to stay at my apartment for now. I'll pick up the rest of my things tomorrow while you're at work. I love you, Jonny, I really do. I want this to work.

Body: Just got home from work. The apartment looks empty without your stuff. Please come back, Tori. I'll change. I know I can. All I'm asking for is some time. Just this one last season. The Giants are going all the way this year, I know it! Once the season ends, I'm done. I promise. - Love Jon

Body: Jon, I'm sorry. This just isn't going to work. You're a good man, but you need to get help. I'll be here for you as a friend, but I just can't be involved with you. Please get help. I know you can do it.

To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: I'm getting worried, Jon. You haven't answered any of my calls these past few days and people are saying you haven't been showing up for work. I stopped by, but you changed the door code. Please, just let me know you're okay. I love you.

From: Quinn Williams
To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: What did I tell you, Jonny? I'm not taking your bets until you settle up. You're already down 40K. We've known each other a while now. If it was anyone else I would've sent Wrend after them. Come down to the Grace tomorrow and we'll try and come up with some way to get you all squared away, okay?

Body: I stopped by Litae's Grace and Molly said you weren't around. What gives? Let me know when I can stop by again so we can talk this over. I'd like to get this taken care of before the game. - Jon

Body: Sorry about that Jonny. Had a little matter that needed to be taken care of. I'll be here the rest of the night so head back down here and we'll talk.

From: Jonathan Perkins
To: Quinn Williams
Body: Look, Quinn. I know it's a real generous offer, but I can't do it. I've thought it over, and I just don't think Hnipinn would tolerate me working for another mining company on the side. I can't afford to lose my job if they were to find out. I have a friend I can recommend for the job, though. He can handle a rig just as well as I can. I'm sure we can figure out some other way for me to settle my debts, right? - Jon

From: Quinn Williams
To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: Do you think we're friends, Jon? I've been patient with you, but I run a business. You understand? These are your options: You take my acquaintances offer, or you come up with what you owe in the next 48 hours. I'm done playing games with you.
Robbie Phillips
Date: February 6th
Subject: Job
From: Jonathan Perkins
To: Robbie Phillips
Body: Hey Rob, I know this is a bit sudden, but I just caught wind of a good job opening up and immediately thought of you. You'd be running a rig just like the one you ran back at Hnipinn. Sounds like it's good pay, too. - Jon

To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: appreciate the heads up. who's hiring?

From: Jonathan Perkins
To: Robbie Phillips
Body: Some folks I met through Quinn. They seem a bit underhanded, but that hasn't stopped you in the past, haha. I'd jump all over it, but you know how it is. Hnipinn would can me in a heartbeat if they found out I was taking work on the side. Figured with your newfound unemployment, this could be a golden opportunity for you. - Jon

Vanessa Perkins
Date: February 2nd
Subject: Visit
From: Jonathan Perkins
To: Vanessa Perkins
Body: Vanessa, I know I don't have any room to ask you for favors, but it's been nearly two years since Katie has seen her father. Don't you think it's time we put the past behind us? I'm not asking you to forgive me, I just don't think a child should grow up without her father around. I miss her so much, Vanessa. Please, have a heart. - Jon

From: Vanessa Perkins
To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: You did this to yourself, Jon. Nobody forced you into the bad decisions you made. And you nearly dragged us both down with you. It's easy to say how much you miss her now, but were you thinking about our daughter when you bet our house on a game of baseball?

Subject: RE:RE: Visit
From: Jonathan Perkins
To: Vanessa Perkins
Body: I made a mistake, Vanessa! I'm not perfect! I just want to be a part of my daughter's life! All I'm asking is a weekend visit once every few months or so. I'll pay for everything. For both of you! You might even like it here, it would be like a vacation. Please, just consider it. - Jon
Date: February 2nd
Subject: RE:RE:RE: Visit
From: Vanessa Perkins
To: Jonathan Perkins
Body: I have considered it, Jon, and the answer is still NO. Now I want you to consider something: I have full custody of Katie. That means I make the decisions regarding her life. If you want any chance of having a role in her life, I suggest you turn yours around. And until you do, stop contacting me, you're making a fool of yourself. Really, Jon, you expect me to bring our daughter out to the Terminus Systems? Do you REALLY think that's safe for a six year old girl? Now stop messaging me, go watch your baseball (Since that's all you ever seemed to care about anyways), and get a grip.
