( Somewhere else. )

A telephone rings, and its owner immediately picks it up and receives the call.

" It's me, Kent… " said the caller. It's Mr. Ragna Kent.

" I'm sorry to call you, but the thing is, I sense trouble awaits if we continue our journey. " 

" That is? " the receiver asks as Mr. Kent quickly replies.

" The Jackals, they did it again, " Mr. Kent tells the receiver.

" I've seen it, when I was eating with my son, a crowd gathered, followed by the police and ambulance as they picked up whom I believed to be the Jackals' victim. Claw wounds with some sharp rock splinters embedded in the victim's skin. "

" Curses… " The receiver gets annoyed when hearing it.

" The direct bridge connecting Greed Central to Envy Peaks is quite isolated; if something happened, calling Trinia's authorities would take long. "

" We have no choice, since the Motorail Train, the western road from Greed Central towards Envy Peaks is my only option. After this, we have to go east on the road, where the only place to go is the long motorrail tracks, the one that connects to that far away Trinia airport, and the second route is the Envy Peaks. 

Yeah, guess I have to pay some fee so they can take my car in the car carrier," Mr. Kent explains while sighing.

" Perhaps we should shorten the range for you, change our meeting point to the nearest stopping station, but ah.., you bring your car too, " the receiver tells Mr. Kent that.

" Bring many men into the nearest stations…, I predict they will also station themselves in rail stations... 

Who knows, it's a long trip, even the 'authorities' will have a hard time catching up by car or even have to wait for the train to arrive at the next station… 

Just remember to tell your Men to station themselves, perhaps tell them to go to the middle trail station, either the 6th or 7th is fine. " Mr. Kent requests the backup; he knows that the long trail from central towards both the airport and Envy Peaks will first have to stop around twelve stations. He also knows well that the 6th and 7th stations are the fastest at which the call receiver's men could arrive. 

" I'll order them to go early right now, " the receiver says as he removes the telephone from his ear a bit, calling someone, as Mr. Kent could hear him ordering them to go fast.

" It'll be done, I hope you could- "

" Pay you? Consider this an additional request; add this to the remaining payments, to the final quarter that I will pay once I safely arrive. With the child. " Mr. Kent ends the call while the receiver wishes him luck.

As Mr. Kent ends the call, he sees Maru open the toilet door after finishing his things.

( Maru had already been taught how to urinate and take a dump independently at an early age by Mr. Kent. )

" You ready? " Mr. Kent asks which little Maru nods.

" Let's go, then. "
