Kellen didn't hesitate. Kellen didn't need to. He dialed Brent's new number into his phone, raising it to his ear and waited. It rang once, twice, a third time before someone picked up and the familiar voice washed over him. If Kellen had been tense, his shoulders would have relaxed.
"Hello?"
"Save this number. It's me, Kellen." Kellen told him. Brent paused, before he let out a tense breath.
"Oh thank god. I wasn't sure who was calling me at this time. You do know that we have a severe time difference, right?" Brent's voice was rough with sleep, a tone that Kellen was used to after having to wake him up for years on the front lines. Kellen felt a smile tease his lips.
"As if you weren't waiting for Sergei to call you. Sorry to not be him. He's in a meeting with Rhys and Sakura right now, which was why I knew I could call you, but, I'm also sure you knew that too." Kellen told him. Brent grumbled.
