"Well, long story short, we came to the gala, and Keelion found her," Augustus said. "And now I can't get her back."
Silence fell on the other side of the phone for a long second, before Kaeli's voice resounded. [Tell me you're joking]
"I really wish I could say I am…"
Augustus was pacing back and forth. "I'm trying to reach her, but to no avail. And you know the worst part? She isn't cooperating with me."
[Wow, Augustus, you've done such a great job]
"I don't need you to use that tone with me," Augustus warned.
[What do you want me to do then?]
Augustus let out a soft breath. "Can you come over here?"
[Huh?]
"I need you over here if I'm going to convince Alexis that this is a bad idea. We're so close to what she needs and she's throwing it away just like this. All our hard work, everything we've put into this. Fuck. I'm losing my mind."
[I can come. But you know Amora and Keona are going to wonder where I'm going and why you and Alexis are still missing]
