"Maybe I left it in the car earlier... but who...," Marcus whispered on himself and picked up the cell phone on his bedside table. He observed the caller ID and he widened his eyes when it was the same number. 

The number that Aunt Sammy, Xian's mother, received countless times. The one that Katrina had called, and the one that was calling on him right now. 

It was exactly the same. It was the same number over and over again. But how come that the Violent Crimes Division couldn't track it? Maybe it was a burner phone?
