After saying what he needed to, the other end was met with a busy signal again. David wanted to slam the phone down but ultimately decided against it. He picked up the phone and dialed Sophie's number. "Sophie, have someone prepare a new phone for me, keeping the same number. I'm back and resting in my room. Don't prepare dinner for me tonight; I'm not hungry."

Was the kidnapping of Jennifer really just to exchange her for Emmeline? Why did he have the nagging feeling that this person's motives were far from simple?
