[Jon can't be angry at Martin, but that doesn't preclude Elias from his anger and loathing. He'd told Martin he wouldn't run off to meet Elias, and he won't. Texting is by far the preferable option.]

What did you do to Martin at that shop?
Tell me, Elias, or so help me, I will find where you live and send a horde of insects to infest it for the next six months.

[There's one good thing that's come of that fight with Martin. Jon's been reminded that he's not alone here. There are threats he can call on that might bother even Elias. Rhys is a phone call away, and he'll just need to be directed to a location and paid handsomely... and kept as in the dark as to what reason there is for this as possible.

At least that's Jon's current plan for how to make this threat work. It's... plausible that it could work.]

You can find out what it's like to be besieged by worms on a very personal level.
Or would you prefer spiders?
We have options here.

[Enjoy Elias' "Away" message, Jon.]

Presently unavailable due to work circumstances.
If this is Jon then please be advised that harming me will mean innocent lives here will be harmed too.

If your business is urgent I will call back shortly.

[Did he really just-? Jon can't handle it. He very rarely does anything apart from text, but this demands yelling.]

Creeping you the hell out isn't harming you, you coward! Tell me what you did to Martin! [That last comment may not come through very clearly as static screeches across the message, obscuring it.]

[He notes that his phone is buzzing again and that it's Jon. Surprise, surprise. He picks up, he delivers the most world weary sigh in the history of sighs.]

Do be quick, Jon. I am at work and currently don't have time to manage your anxieties.

[Ah. This is about Martin.]

Oh Jon. If you two can't communicate then how will your relationship survive? Really now, you should know better than to feed into the Lonely by isolating your dear, dear Martin.

[He chuckles softly.]

Feel free to send such creatures my way. But if you do please be aware that I can make Agnes' life hell while she's here.

[There's an intake of breath for a comment about Martin having so much more than just him, but the threat against Agnes leaves him tongue-tied. There's silence on his end of the line for several seconds, and then Jon just hangs up because he doesn't know what to say apart from calling Elias a coward again. That's already well understood.

He needs to get Agnes out of that contract somehow, but he can't even offer himself as some sort of exchange. He's a Dom. At least in name. At the moment, staring down at his phone and the message of impotent rage, he doesn't much feel like one.]
