'Gramps, something happened…'
'Jack, what's wrong?'
Getting an immediate response, Jack was a bit surprised. 'I thought you were busy?'
'I am, but to have you contact me when I wasn't expecting it, I can only assume that something drastically wrong has occurred. Now speak, Jack, don't waste time,' stated Daruun.
'I can't contact Father…'
'What?!' There was a moment of unannounced pause but Jack didn't question Daruun. 'Jack… I can't reach him either…'
'Then--'
'I can only assume that something has occurred that was beyond my predictions… Perhaps Halmut was more important to Jewel than I had anticipated…'
'What should I do?' Jack asked.
