Niah nodded, [color=0080ff]"I have one thing I need to do."[/color] She left the room, dropping her concentration on her powers. Her ears rang for a moment as they adjusted back to normal level of hearing. She found Sami's body and dug into his pocket to find his cell phone. [color=0080ff]"I am sorry friend, but someone has to call her."[/color] She searched through the contacts for a moment until she found a number listed "DO NOT ANSWER". Seemed likely. She wrote down the number and found a different phone. The chance that Sami's mom wouldn't answer the phone for him was high as well so she wanted a strange number and hoped the woman would answer that. Should she tell her that her son was dead? After she got the information she needed. 

The phone rang, and when it was answered by a female voice, one Niah hopped was Sami's mom she said, [color=0080ff]"Hello, Esme Kanneh, I am Agent Niah Bautista. I was informed you had a message for Samuel Rhodes. Could you please pass the message to me?"[/color] It was straightforward and there was no technical lie. Though it was possible Mrs. Kanneh didn't know what the message was and that worried Niah. Not as much as the prospect of telling a woman her son was dead. Was Sami an only child? Would she be devastated? Niah knew they didn't get along but that didn't make the pain of losing a child any easier. Niah had seen first hand what that did to parents. 

"... I don't know what you're talkin' about, sweetheart." Niah's heart dropped. Was she lying?

[color=0080ff]"Agent Rhodes said to contact you though. Do you know why he would do that then?"[/color]

"I haven't heard from Samuel in years, hun."

[color=0080ff]"Sorry for the confusion ma'am I mean Agent James Rhodes said to call you."[/color]

"Oh... Well, that's a surprise... I can't think of the last time I spoke to my brother in law either." Niah had no idea of this woman was lying, but there was a way she could check. She focused on her hearing. Maybe she could hear the woman's heartbeat through the phone? Seemed unlikely but she would give it a shot.

[color=0080ff]"Ah, so you don't know why he would want you to be contacted?"[/color] The woman's heart wasn't racing, she could hear it though, which was fascinating. 

"I'm afraid not." Nothing changed. Niah frowned.

[color=0080ff]"Okay, thank you for your time ma'am."[/color] She couldn't bring herself to tell the woman her son was dead. Someone else would have to do it. [color=0080ff]"Have a lovely day."[/color] She added.

"You too hun." Niah cringed and hung up, leaving Sami's phone next to him. She quickly made it back to the bus, got a new clip of ammo for her ICER and curled up on the couch. That had been a dead end, and she still needed to talk to Abercombie about the other stuff she saw from Sami. She wasn't just going to talk about that in front of anyway though, not anymore.
