The knocking turned into door-kicking sounds, one after another, shaking the entire room!
The man with the curved blade sprinted up from downstairs and, raising an eyebrow, asked the other guy, "What's going on?"
The man replied, "Boss, I heard them making a phone call inside, seems like they got through and are trying to report to the police."
The man with the curved blade burst into hearty laughter; had the phone really gotten through?
Not even a special phone line could make a call out from this entire area, so how could they have managed it?
The man with the curved blade slung his weapon over his shoulder, its reflective surface casting chilling flashes of light, and between the bronze bends of his arm, a snake-like S symbol was faintly visible.
With a sneer, the curved blade man said, "What else could it be? They're just pretending to have gotten through, trying to scare us off."
Could they possibly be scared off that easily?
