Yelena glanced down at the phone in her hand, her brow furrowed. Then she looked up at Mika and Charlotte, who had taken several steps back, giving her space, both of them watching her expectantly.
She couldn't for the life of her figure out what Mika was up to.
The only reasonable explanation she could conjure was that the phone held some kind of specialized audio file, maybe something that mimicked a birdcall?
That would make sense. If technology could mimic such calls, then attracting specific birds wouldn't be that far-fetched...But she still had no idea about how the bird was going to be killed with a audio track.
So, still puzzled, she took a breath and tapped the first audio track.
Screech!
At once, the phone let out a sharp, high-pitched screech, birdlike, but more piercing than she'd expected. It echoed out into the open air, startling even her.
