Marco walked and stopped by the door, "Let me know if you need anything."
"Sure thing. Just go, I will. Carla please take him away,"
The duo waved to Lukas before closing the door.
"Oh finally... What's the time? 7:11, I can get an hour sleep before I have to prepare," Lukas said as he set an alarm for an hour's time on his phone, plopped down on his couch, and fell back asleep.

Lukas's phone buzzed violently on the table beside the couch. At first, it blended into his dream — a faraway vibration that sounded like an engine idling. Then the ringtone cut sharply through the quiet. He jolted awake, heart skipping. The light streaming through the curtains was brighter than it should have been.
He reached for his phone and squinted at the screen.
"Rob Calling…"
"Oh, crap." He sat up quickly and rubbed his eyes before answering.
"Rob?"
"Morning, your Highness" Koch's voice came through, half-amused. "You alive in there? I've been outside for five minutes."
