2: Avery tweets down to Jackson.
Avery speaks Avian in a quizzical tone.
Jackson: He wants me inside the school to find out why they had another black idol. I have to investigate that hidden basement.

Avery speaks Avian in a punctual casualness.
Jackson: No I’m not going in undercover. Students don’t have scars from gunshot wounds.
3: Jackson crosses his arms.
Avery speaks Avian with a playful tone.
Jackson: My plan?
4: Jackson thinks, hands on hips.
Jackson: My plan is to get drunk and come up with a better plan tomorrow.
