Time passed by slowly, lingering by the second. Travis waited, marking his time, trying to reach a decision. Just when the dial tone was about to end, he flipped his hand before his face and answered to call.
"Listen to me," He said, clenching his jaws, "I don't care who the hell you think you are and I don't know how you got to know about The Book of Truth, but I can assure you that it is not in my custody or Vanessa's. So, why don't you save your energy and go to place a prank call to somebody else?"
The man cackled on the line. He felt a knot tightening inside of him as he listened, taken by utter surprise at the man's next words.
He was quiet for the next couple of minutes, trying to decide whether or not what he had just listened to the man say was true.
"Wait a minute," He said halting him, "Who did you say you are again?"
The man repeated his words.
Travis wheeled back in shock.
"Vlad! As in Vlad Keddrick?"
