'I promise you Mr Wang He Di, we will do everything in our power to get her back safely to you.'

'You will have to do better than that! Shouts Dylan, wracked with fear. 'You will have to do everything within your power, as well as within every single power of the whole GODAMN UNIVERSE!'


The phone on the table rings, its shrill sound diverting everyone's attention towards it. Without a second thought, Dylan picks it up.
