The phone rang, its chime breaking the silence.
Jack had drunk too much brandy last night, and his movements getting out of bed were sluggish.
Next to him lay a petite woman with jet-black hair.
He answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Jack."
His boss's cold voice instantly sobered him up.
Jack yelled, "Yes, sir!"
"Do you have any news about what happened last night?"
Jack's head was in a fog. He hadn't been working at all the previous evening and had chosen instead to party at a bar. Of course, he couldn't report that to his boss, so he could only vaguely reply, "I'm still investigating for specifics."
"Still investigating?! Do you realize that the six conglomerates are already aware of Dio being a Superpower User?"
