After he said so, Narukami got a bad premonition.
"What are you planning?" He asked but received no answer as Saiko went back to his original position.
Immediately afterward, the phone rang and it was from Jim. Narukami turned his gaze at him.
"Ah, sorry," said Jim as he stopped talking and answered the call.
"Hello, who is this?" Jim asked with a frown as he found the number was foreign.
"It's me," the caller responded. His tone was hoarse and seemed static as though concealed with a voice changer.
After a slight hesitation, Jim replied, "Is this someone playing a prank on me? Don't think I'll fall for your tricks!"
"Then did my call ten years ago a prank, Officer Jim?" The voice pondered as its tone was a bit unfriendly.
Jim's expression sank.
He put down his phone as he covered the speaker with his hand and got up from his seat.
