"So you can't contact him at all?" Alice asked Ryder, talking about Shu.
"I can't. It's like he has gone underground. It's either that, or he is avoiding me," Ryder replied. This also gave him a thought. Could it be that his number was blocked? That could be why his calls weren't getting connected.
Even though it was an unlikely case, he still needed to make sure.
Just to make sure that this wasn't true, he told Alice to call herself. "Can you try calling from your phone? Maybe it's a problem with my number."
"Alright." Alice nodded her head, intending to try.
Shu was like a brother to her. She was also concerned about him and wished to help in any way or shape she could.
She dialed Shu's number.
After a moment of silence, she also shook her head lightly. "It's not getting connected. His number is out of reach."
