Well, that call was a break until Tristan heard what Vargas had to say.
"Greetings, boss. It's about our Sea Devil. I think Damien got himself into something unpleasant. Nobody can reach him, although he was supposed to meet with our trade partners an hour ago. His second-in-command went instead, but he told me before that that he hadn't heard from Damien since last night."
Tristan frowned, building a timeline in his head. It was late afternoon by now, so not enough to declare someone missing in police terms.
However, missing obligations without a warning was a serious offense in an organization like Tristan's—or a serious reason for worrying.
"The meeting with the trade partners went without further problems, though, right, Vargas?"
"Yes. Thankfully…"
"And you have no idea where Damien might be, but you ordered a search, because of course you did."
