So Little sweetie cancelled that idea and came up with a new almost impossible plan. She could still remember....
.... How her hands had trembled as she finally made the call last night: "Sir, it's falling apart. If you want to see them again, come soon."
But presently, instead of turning toward her… Somto did nothing.
He did not expose her. Did not even glance her way.
He had heard her… and he had come. But it did not seem like he was here to punish her or to speak of failures.
Little Sweetie let out a breath she did not know she was holding and silently thanked the stars above that she had made that call in time.
Flashback — The Night Before

Not just any phone.
It was the phone.
The special line.
The one that only rang when something was serious enough to rattle kingdoms.
