Possibilities flew through my head, and as I answered the call, I silently brought the phone to my ear.
For the first ten seconds, there was a mix of sounds, and then a voice sounded.
"You shouldn't have killed those people."
The voice clearly belonged to Nadia, and after she spoke, a second voice, one that surprised me, sounded.
"She's right, Mom. Those were people's families."
The innocence in the second voice was adorable and strongly pulled on the strings of my heart, but then a third voice came.
"I don't owe you two an answer. You said Marcus could help. Have you done so?"
There was silence, then an elevated tone.
"Sir, apologies. I wasn't aware the phone was already connected."
"What's happening?"
"Well, I'm sorry. I got too close, and Martha kidnapped me. Now we're in the midst of a police chase."
This possibility had been very strong in my mind, so I wasn't surprised.
"What's the current situation?"
