"You are not a failure, father-in-law. You are worse than that."
Confused, Rusher glanced around and asked, "Who is that?"
"Oh, come on. I just called you father-in-law. Who else would call you that?"
"Rudy…?"
"Yes."
"So you are the one behind all this!"
"Whoa, whoa. Calm your tits, man. I can't blame you for thinking that, but that's sad, actually. Anyways, is Maria around?" Rudy asked curiously.
"No… wait… where are you, and how am I talking to you?"
"I don't have time to explain all that. Answer my questions so I can find you quickly."
"..."
"Do you have any guesses where you are?"
"No. Everything here is black. The walls, floor, and ceiling. Even when I am using the phone's flashlight, it looks like a small star in a vast space," Rusher responded.
"Yeah, I saw that. You are most likely in that ball-like device. Do you know anything about it?"
"I…"
"Come on, answer fast. I don't have much time!"
