Chapter 107: Diversion

"Hey, Captain? Something's wrong, the phone isn't ringing."

"Hm? Well, it is pretty old, maybe we should get a new one," Replied Rione, as he stretched his arms up with a sigh.

"No, I don't think that's it, sir. It's still working, like I can hear the hum tone when I put it up to my ear, but it isn't ringing after dialing."

"Check if the cable is firmly plugged into the socket, it's been a wobbly lately. If that isn't the problem, then maybe the phone lines are damaged," Suggested Quila as she walked over to take a look.

"Yeah, that's probably-...wait. The phone lines?" Frowned Rione, getting a slight sense of deja vu, right before loud crashes rang out from outside the building, followed by a couple of cries of pain, before the door was blown off its hinges and came flying in, crashing onto the floor and skidding forward.
