Early in the morning, Lance was woken up by the ringing phone.
He scratched his head, sat up from the bed, rubbed his face, and picked up the phone, "This is Lance."
"Mr. Lance, Francisco wants to go to Sumuli!"
The voice on the line sounded somewhat familiar to Lance. It took him several seconds to realize this was an uncle from Francisco's own family.
Not all of Paul's siblings were bad people; there were two or three who were decent to Francisco, and this was one of them.
He vaguely recalled that Alberto had introduced this person to him at some dinner.
"Why does he suddenly want to go back to Sumuli Island?" Lance was still groggy, with his mind in a cold start state, his thoughts congealed.
Only when fully started could his mind begin to spin quickly, making his thoughts faster.
Francisco's kind uncle sighed, "I made some inquiries through connections on the island. Last night, Alberto attempted to assassinate Christopher and failed. They have already been murdered."
