"I hope you have good news for me." Al said as he continued to monitor Annabeth's condition through the screen in front of him.
She was still passed out, but that wouldn't last long.
He estimated that by the end of the call, Annabeth would be concious and ready for the third day of torture.
"I've reached out to Uncle Ming." Eric started to say, making Al smile.
The fact that Eric managed to contact Guan Ming so quickly was a good sign.
Al actually expected it to take Eric a few days to contact their Uncle Guan Ming, the man was a busy one.
"Did he respond?" Al asked.
"He has." Eric replied. "He asked me if the person I was sending was a reliable one. I promised him that you were and that he would have to interrogate you himself."
Al nodded, he understood that Guan Ming would be careful of the people who knew he ruled the underworld in his own country.
His secret was even better kept than Al's father's.
