The next day, Basil Jaak slept in until noon.
As he was considering whether to invite Xenia Wendleton for lunch, Basil Jaak abruptly received a call from Kenneth: "Mr. Jaak... Mr. Jaak... Something has happened..."
Kenneth's voice was frantic; Basil Jaak asked, "What happened? Director Nolan doesn't want to shoot 'Unparalleled Hero' or he's unwilling to cast Xenia as the lead actress?"
"It's neither!" Kenneth panted, "Someone has abducted Xenia!"
"What!"
Basil Jaak was brushing his teeth, and in his rush, he almost swallowed some toothpaste: "Kenneth, where are you? I'm coming over right now!"
Without bothering to finish brushing, Basil Jaak left the house in his car and reached Kenneth's location in half an hour.
