His phone rang as they stepped out of the building— Scarlet. He looked at the notifications, five missed calls. The room must've blocked out cell reception.
"What's up?"
"Where have you been? Ignoring my calls, Boss?"
"I've been... busy" he quickened his step away from them.
"I just saw the calls, what's going on?"
"I've arranged the secret child, we just need your signature. And, the Madam says well done"
He exhaled, turning to look at them.
"Well, it's happened. Let's meet tomorrow"
"It might be today" she muttered, "Somebody contacted us to meet yesterday— nice business"
"Business? It better not be one of your code blues" he scoffed.
"He said you'll know him— Zac—"
"Rotschen" he cut in.
"Yeah, that guy. Says he's got something better to sell you"
"And you didn't tell me yesterday" he sighed, "It's almost noon" he looked at his wristwatch, "Tell him we'll meet in an hour"
"Alright, Boss. See you there" she replied, hanging up.
