204 ABDUCTED AND REPLACED

ASTRID was back to his hotel room.  He just finished bathing and was now wearing casual clothes.  His and Ellis' flight back to capital was scheduled two hours now.  So, he still had time to call Reas back.

It's because earlier when he asked the other how was his training, Reas told him to call him back when he's alone and in a private space.  Because what he was about to tell was not something for the public to hear. 

With all the secrecy, one would think that his brother was about to tell him some top-secret government intelligence.  But he didn't doubt Reas and just agreed.

Now that he's alone and finally feeling a bit refreshed after an entire day of filming, he decided to call Reas back.  It didn't take long for the call to connect and his brother's handsome face appeared on the virtual screen of his Terminal. 

"So, have you called our parents and told them the good news?" he first asked.
