It wasn't long before Ning started receiving messages and phone calls. He answered the first few calls, but by the time the third one came around, he knew things weren't going to be so simple.
He shut down all incoming calls and paused for a moment. After a thought, he took out the card he had received a few days earlier and called it. It took a few moments to ring, and then a woman answered.
"Hello?" Melly Orston answered with a confused tone to her voice.
"Its me, Valen Jassens," Ning answered. "The detective you gave your card to."
"Oh! Detective Jassens. Hi," the woman said, a slightly bated breath coming through the phone along with her words.
"You sound tired," Ning said.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just running up the stairway. The elevator is packed today. Something big is happening, and we're all being called to a meeting," the woman said.
"You're in the agency?" Ning asked.
"Yes."
