"Dustin." I took the phone and called out his name.

"Rad told me everything. You're okay, right?" His concern was evident through the phone.

"I'm fine, just gonna be a hassle for you, Dustin," I always made sure to be polite with him.

There was a pause on his end for a couple of seconds, "Just make yourself at home, alright? You're safe at my place, guaranteed." "Alright!" I didn't say much else.

Normally, that would have been the end of our conversation, but Dustin lingered, adding, "Don't worry, you won't be in any trouble."

That was hard to guarantee. As long as Henrik had me in his sights, unless Ernest and his team could completely take him down, my safety was up in the air. But I didn't voice these thoughts, just hummed in acknowledgment.

"If you need anything, give me a call. And... there'll be a cleaning lady coming over to cook and tidy up," Dustin finished before hanging up.

I handed the phone back to Conrad, who took it, saying, "Dustin's place should have some spare phones. You can use one for now."

Being without a phone was indeed inconvenient, and being out of touch had probably made Fanny worried sick.
