"Hello… is that you, Elara?" Ziva's voice came immediately from the other end.
Elara went quiet for a small second, then gave a low hum.
There was a sharp intake of breath before Ziva spoke again, her words rushing out all at once. "Elara, God, where are you? I've been waiting for you to call me since yesterday. Even if your phone isn't with you, you should have just used Mr. Va–"
"I'm at Grandpa's place," Elara interrupted gently. "I need you to come here now please. And Ziva… bring my phone. Also bring as much cash as you can lay your hands on."
"Cash?" Ziva muttered, confusion clear in her voice. "How much?"
"Everything you can withdraw immediately. Just come quickly, please." Before Ziva could say anything else, Elara ended the call. She took a deep breath then walked back into Grandpa's room and placed the phone on the locker.
