Gathered in Brute’s apartment building, getting ready to enjoy a meager meal and odd sound pierces the get together: a phone ringing.
The power has long been cut off from the build and there is no phone service, yet, somewhere on the floor of this apartment the phone rings...and rings...and rings.
Anyone who bothers can find the phone easily enough, it’s the only sound on the entire floor. Entering one of the old apartments a very simple phone sits on the kitchen wall. Ringing...and ringing...and ringing.
In the Sewers
Below the apartment complex in the old sewer tunnels Walker and Raith nearly jump out of their skin as a sound pierces their fortress of solitude. A phone is ringing! The sound echoing through the empty tunnels with ridiculous clarity. It seems so loud, as if it might wake the entire world. Following the sound to it’s source is easy enough. The sound emanates from an underground phone box with a blue light flashing above it, probably for use by work crews in case of emergencies.
