Chapter 10 - A Mysterious Phone Call Breaks The Estate Silence
Suddenly, an old analog rotary phone sitting on the metal desk inside the safe room began to ring loudly.
Ring... ring... ring...
The jarring sound pierced the heavy silence of the concrete chamber like a gunshot in an empty cathedral.
Sarah stared at the vintage telephone in utter confusion, wondering how an incoming line could bypass the active signal jammer.
She approached the desk slowly, her hand hovering over the heavy black receiver before lifting it to her ear.
“Hello?” she whispered cautiously into the mouthpiece, holding her breath to listen for a response.

“Don't say my name too loudly, Sarah,” whispered a familiar, cautious voice from the other end of the line.
“Martha? Why are you calling me on this line? I thought you were working with Dominic!” Sarah hissed into the receiver.
