“Alpha, your phone.”
“I will call them back,” Caleb replied, continuing his work.
“It’s the same number that has called three times.”
“Number?” Caleb asked, taking the phone from his newest assistant.
It was strange to see a number on the screen. This was a private line. Only those he was close to had the number and were, therefore, already saved contacts.
“Hello?” he answered the call.
“Finally!” came the exasperated reply.
“Alice?”
“Yes! I have been trying to reach you for twenty minutes!”
“How do you even have this number?” Caleb asked.
“Please… this was nothing,” Alice sighed. “But that doesn’t matter right now.”
Caleb took a deep breath. He would make a note to talk with Axel about Alice’s information gathering techniques.
“Listen, I am out on an assignment right now,” she said.
