You all speed through the air of Neo-Ettifex, massive skyscrapers whirring past you.

You hear the garbled voice of Blarby through Frost's phone as the static becomes all-consuming.

The last words you hear are,

She's gone!

And then the call loses signal, and you hear nothing but a dial tone at the other end.

Beep,

Beep,

Beep,

Frost. You hold your phone as the call disconnects.

Your situation has gone from bad to worse as Gideon pilots the Barry Sexy toward the Concordia Hotel.

What did she say?

It was hard to make out, but I think she was trying to say that Mila's gone.

She's missing.

What do you mean?

From the Hellhound?

She's not there?

She, she, it was all garbled.

Remind me again, did she, did I get a sense that she'd been kidnapped or, or, uh, that she just couldn't be found. Did I get any

more substance than just that Mila is gone? It was incredibly hard to hear the things that she

was saying. I would say, yeah, the most you can hear is really that Milo was gone, and she didn't know where she had. That's all I know. That's all I could make out. It was all static. We have to get back underground very quickly. Why would she go? I mean, she had herty, she had blobby, she had the hellhounds, and she had murder Murder Fang. And perhaps someone took her. I couldn't hear. That's why we need to go right away.

Try, call her again, color again!

I'll hit Speed dial.
