The empty office had its phone ringing constantly.
August 3rd! Monday! Ten o'clock in the morning!
After the holiday, this time should be when work gets back on track. However, in the office of the highest commander of the Palermo Police Station, there was no one— not even the secretary, who might have been chatting away in the break room or preparing documents in the print room. In short, the people who were supposed to be here were not.
The phone rang again five minutes later, but this time it stopped abruptly after the third ring. The secretary rushed in just as the phone stopped ringing, right on the dot, checking the caller ID which showed no number, just the frequency of missed calls, suggesting this person was quite eager to reach the director.
Where was Director Mo Luo? The director, who was never late, was presently in the special holding cell located in the police station.
