I called out to my mom, who was still chatting with Ivanna, "Mom, we need to go back!" My mom stood up when she sensed something was wrong. After exchanging a few words with Ivanna, she hurried behindand anxiously asked, "Chloe, did something happen?" "The kidnapper calledagain. I have to inform Atlas!" I called Atlas.
Atlas answered immediately and said, "Chloe! Are you awake?" "I just cout of the hospital! Navi Mansk called again! I recorded it, and I'll send it to you! Now I'll take my mom back to Foswood, and then go to you!" After informing Atlas, I sent him the recording of the phone call I just made.
