Kapitel 32: Chapter 32: Helping Hand

Adeline’s POV

I was almost angry at the way my phone kept ringing. The obnoxious buzzing and beeping and alarms going off, all indicating a phone call, had me almost ready to throw the device out of the window. But I lifted it up to see that I had three missed calls from Johnny and that he was the one currently calling me. I immediately sat up.

It wasn’t like we weren’t close, Johnny and I got along well enough. I just didn’t think we were ‘call each other at three in the morning close’. And so I deduced that there must have been something wrong with Zale.

“Adeline,” he gasped when I finally answered the phone. “You have to come help me with Zale.” Turns out I was right.

I cleared my throat before I spoke up, rubbing my eyes as I did so. “What’s wrong? Is he alright?”
