Snork! Martin's coffee not strong enuf? Hee! Yes, it would seriously suck if Viv left. She's the only one who is level headed and she's concerned about the others in a nice way.

I'm sure you can strong arm Martin into cooperating, right? Actually I know you can't. These characters just do whatever they want when you're trying to write them and sometimes we just hang on to the ride.

But this is extremely well written.
