Chapter 1: Sophia.
Sophia looked out of her office through the rain beating on the windows. What's taking so long? She pushed her research papers to one side and impatiently drummed her fingers on her desk as the BEE system made a happy click. Finally! Now, it's home time. She fumbled around her messy drawers and found her mobile phone.
Ring r—
The receiver was quickly picked up at the other side.
"Hello!" responded an enthusiastic voice. It was her little sister.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're home already. Could you check if there are any more Telepipes in my blue bag in the Study room…"
"There is. I've already checked," she lied, and gave a little chuckle, "I'll throw one immediately! Bye!" Laughing was heard in the background.
The receiver was put down as quickly as possible without sounding rude.
