Vesper was crawling back into the penthouse. He had spent all night scouring as much of New York City as he could looking for Stephanie. He was reaching to shut the window behind him when one of his leg pouches rang. He took a minute fumbling his phone out in the hopes it was Stephanie. He got the phone out, looked at the number, and did not recognize who was calling him.

Then he realized he was wearing his cowl with the Bluetooth integrated. He tapped the activation button.

"Hello?" His voice sounded a bit gravelly from his voice modulator.
