The phone jangled loudly as John sat up and blearily picked up the receiver. "John is that you?" the voice enquired at the other end of the phone, but John's brain was still a little addled from being woken in the middle of the night. He reached for the alarm clock and noted that the time was 2:00 am
His croaky voice "Yes, John here" he replied, quickly recognizing Craig's voice. "Listen, I think we've tracked Lea but it's a bloody mess..."his voice trailing off into static.
"Craig can you repeat?" he pleaded
But the receiver continued to crackle before dropping... Craig, Craig are you there? Nothing but the buzz of dial tone
Shit! John exclaimed as he reached for his address book on the dresser, flicking through the names he quickly located Craig and began dialing the ancient rotary phone.
He noted his heart racing as he quickly tried to dial Craig's number, but in his haste realized he'd dialed the wrong number and had to start again...his frustration rose as his fingers fumbled with the keys.
