dials telephone number.

"Hello? This is PT Arts and Crafts Shop. What can I do for you?" Different voice? It's a male, but this isn't Shalnark anymore.

"Hello, is Shalnark there?"

"Sorry Ma'am, he's absent for today."

"OH MY GOD, WHY? IS HE RETIRING?!"

"No, he's just sick, Ma'am."

"Oh..."

"Are you his girlfriend?"

"E-EHH?! N-NO!! NO! YOU GOT THE WRONG IDEA!"

"Okay, calm down, Ma'am. I was just asking. Anyways, this is Chrollo speaking. I'll just tell him that you called and you looked for him. Can I ask for your name?"

"I'm...uh—I'll just drop by, Chrollo! See you!"

"S-Sure, Ma'am. See you too."

END CALL...
