Ding-dong! Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
Early in the morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, the villa's doorbell rang.
In the cold winter, very few people would be active just as the day broke. Wasn't a warm quilt snuggly?
"Who is it?"
Adrian, who had not slept well the entire night, his eyes rimmed with dark circles, shuffled into the living room in his cotton slippers and activated the doorbell intercom.
"Me, 'Summoner,' open up!"
"Huh?"
Adrian couldn't quite believe his ears.
Hadn't the cooperation between both sides ended?
Why were they looking for him again?
Why hadn't Liaison Officer Rossi given advance notice?
Full of questions, he opened the entrance door of the villa's living room, only to see a hulking figure in a grey trench coat standing outside.
Wait a second, the doorbell wasn't at the entrance door but ten meters away, on the gate wall.
How did this guy ring the doorbell?
