Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrring, rrrrrrrrrrring, rrrrrrrrrrrring.

"Hello?" said Murray's familiar voice, which still had a saddened tone.

"Murray? Its Raven. Can I talk to Gar?"

"Sure, hold on a second." Raven heard him softly yell, "Gar, the phone's for you. Its Raven."

"Raven?" Gar said, in disbelief.

"Gar, where are you guys? Why is there no work?"

"I'm in Africa."

"Africa?" Raven seemed confused.

"Yeah. Zaire, Africa." Even when stating the seemingly obvious, he sounded as if he was about to burst into tears any second.

"Why are you in Zaire?" This was all just too confusing for Raven.

"Raven, swear to me you won't tell a soul."

"I swear,"

"My parents, who were here in Zaire studying, went on a boat trip. Their boat hit some rapids and… and…" his voice cracked with the start of tears, "their boat went over the side of the waterfall. King Tawaba, the king of the village they were staying with, contacted us immediately, so we came here for the funeral."

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry…"

"Listen, Raven, I've got to go. King Tawaba wants to talk to me. I'll see you when we get back, okay?"

"Mkay."

"Bye." Gar hung up the phone.
