"Her moan of despair came through the phone all too clearly. "Oh...Christ. Whatever. Kill yourself, fine." She hung up on him. "Fuck." He rubbed his face. "Fuck!" Rehv sat up and fired the cell phone at the bedroom door. And just as it ricocheted off the panels and went flying, he realized he'd busted the only thing he had with her number in it. With a roar and a messy scramble, he launched his body off the bed, quilts landing everywhere. Not a great move on his part. As his numb feet hit the throw rug, he went Frisbee, finding air briefly before landing on his face. On impact, a sound like a bomb had gone off rumbled through the floorboards, and he crawled for the phone, tracking the light that still glowed from its screen. He was almost in range when the door swung open, narrowly missing his head and clipping the phone--which shot like a hockey puck in the opposite direction. As Rehv wheeled around and lunged for thing, he shouted at Trez. "Don't shoot me!" Trez was in full fighting stance, gun up and pointed at the window, then the closet, then the bed. "What the fuck was that." Rehv sprawled out flat to reach the phone, which was spinning under the bed. When he caught it, he closed his eyes and brought it close to his face. "Rehv?" "Please..." "What? Please...what?" He opened his eyes. The screen was flickering, and he pressed the buttons fast. Calls received...calls received...calls r-- "Rehv, what the hell is going on?" There it was. The number. He stared at the seven digits after the area code as if they were the combination to his own safe, trying to get them all. The screen went dark and he let his head fall down on his arm. Trez crouched beside him. "You okay?" Rehv pushed himself out from under the bed and sat up, the room spinning like a merry-go-round. "Oh...fuck me." Trez holstered his gun. "What happened?" "I dropped my phone." -Ehlena, Rehv, & Trez"
