The phone call continues, and Joey gives up any and all hope of gaining some sort of an advantage or semblance of power from those he's taking orders from. Yeah Joey, I guess it's just easier to roll over than it is to fight (but maybe you should have talked to your sister about this first, unless she's in on it too and trying to use her feminine wiles to distract Mark and lure him into whatever trap is about to be prepared). And just in case we couldn't figure out what the mysterious, jagged, canary yellow balloon was talking about, panel two gives us a pretty good idea that Mark will be walking into a trap designed to take his life, or at least silence him on the matter of those barrels. (Unless, of course, Mark is the owl and the fiends are the mouse. Then they should be the ones who are afraid.)
The dance over and the phone call wrapped up, Joey finally shows up at the restaurant. He sure doesn't beat around the bush, does he? Skipping past the formalities and boldly suggesting that Mark and he go take a look at those barrels. Possibly suspicious, Mark tries to dig a little deeper and collect some more information, but Joey falls back on the "it's the economy" (probably said while shrugging) line and Mark lets the subject drop (an action he'll probably regret in the very near future). Meanwhile, the geese are on the move. (After all, someone has to set up the trap, and we all know that they can't depend on Joey.)
