[Didn't you check your phone?]

[We only found out after we were called about it.I mean, we are the leading research center for cardiovascular diseases, but Hotmesh somehow beat us to publish that data.What is that if not a slap on our collective faces? Can we even maintain our reputation from now on?] [Yeah.] [Is that milk...spiked?]

[You catch on quick.Yes, I spiked it—the caller just now insisted that I bring you in.The investigation concluded that you were the one who stole our data, and if I don't bring you in, my whole career would be over.This is my only option if I don't want to be fired before my retirement.]
