Mali approached the computer, taking the USB cable from Relic with her casted hand and pulling out her phone with her right. And then she stood for a moment looking down at the computer, not acting, but merely trying to think over how the conversation would go over. Sighing, she just plugged in the phone and punched in the correct number. She didn't even need to double check to make sure it was the right one. Mali knew it by heart.

She stood there in the musty silence of the building phone pressed directly to her ear hole. It's kind of odd how being in an otherwise quiet location seemed to amplify what little noise there was available. Mali's uneven breathing and increasingly accelerating heartbeat. The flutter of papers and folders Relic was pulling out. The long beeps coming directly from the phone. It felt like she'd been standing there for half an hour by time she heard the phone pick up, but in reality she had only been waiting about half a minute.

[color=f4b342]"Hello?"[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"Hey Hannah, it's me."[/color]

[color=f4b342]"Mal? Is that you?"[/color] the voice on the other side replied, increasing in pitch by at least half an octave. [color=f4b342]"Oh my god, it's been way too long! You haven't called since you moved to Justice."[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"Yeah,"[/color] Mali said, staring down at the floor, scratching her nose. [color=D5FF00]"I've had a very eventful 3 weeks or so."[/color]

[color=f4b342]"Yeah, I heard about the Danica Graves suicide and the UN Building explosion that happened last week and worried a bit about you. I almost called you to make sure you were all right. In any case, it's good to hear you're in one piece."[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"About that... My left hand's kind of completely fucked up."[/color]

[color=f4b342]"Did you get into another fight? Seriously Mal, you haven't even been there a month. You can't be doing this, even if you're in Justice."[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"I was jumped by at least five guys in the fight where I broke my hand, so it's not like it's completely my fault and this isn't important right now, I have more important things to talk about right now. It actually relates to Danica's suicide. Probably. Remember Peyton Glencross?"[/color] Mali turned on the phones camera and took pictures of the relevant images in Peyton's file case. From there she sent the pics via text to Hannah's phone.

[color=f4b342]"Danica's sister? The one who was killed by that guy who did the murder-suicide last Sunday? I remember hearing that story six months back. And saying all that stuff out loud now comes across as really suspiscious."[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"Well she and her professor were studying something old. It was something they found on a dig in Athens. I'm sending you the pictures right now. I think it has to do with why she was killed in the first place. I don't really know what it is, but I thought you might be able to figure out what it is. Would you mind looking into it?"[/color]

[color=f4b342]"Well Mal, I'm kind of busy at the moment, but I'll look into it when I have the time."[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"Thanks ba- Hannah. Be careful out there. Oh, and if you find out anything, don't tell me right then and there. Wait for me to call again, or text me "Ellie" if you think it's something I need to know ASAP."[/color] A brief silence followed on the other end of the phone.

[color=f4b342]"You're sounding awfully paranoid right now, but I won't pry right now. Stay safe out there, and don't get into any more fights now, kay?"[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"I'll try not to."[/color]

[color=f4b342]"I'm serious, Mal. It's not good for you to be getting into fights. Even if your ability to kick ass is kind of hot. And don't wait so long to call me again, kay? Bye."[/color]

[color=D5FF00]"Bye Hannah."[/color] When the phone hung up, Mali let out a sigh of relief. She unplugged her phone and turned towards Relic. [color=D5FF00]"So how are things going over here?"[/color]
