PART 5.5
♦ 1300♦

The second Primo stepped out of Tory's office, he knew that his plan had to get moving because time was of the essence. When Tory would finally finish reading the letter, he would be far away from this building, long gone. And he would have taken his trophy.

Xalia.

This all started with her and it would, eventually, end with her. It was only one time that he decided to call Percy's phone, but since nobody answered, he called Xalia's phone. Primo could even remember how he picked up the call.

~~

"Hello Xalia? Babe? You haven't been picking up...."

There was a pregnant pause before someone spoke.

"Who's Xalia? This is- well, not my phone but I could tell her you called when, or if, I next see her so leave a message-"

"Wait! Don't hang up! Who am I speaking to right now?"

Primo didn't hear anything for a long time and all he heard in the phone was a faint sound of a clock ticking. Did he move away from the phone or something? Put it on mute? Mate, you wouldn't be hearing a clock if it were on mute.

"Are you still on the phone? If you're still there, can you pass the message on that this is Primo wondering where she is after I came back from the airport, because I couldn't find her at home so......yeahh. Can you do that for me when you-"

As Primo was talking, all he could hear in the background of the call was the faint but constant swearing and cursing, very low so that he would think nothing of it but then he heard words that only himself and Percy knew.

How did he have Xalia's phone , one and two, who has his phone?

He didn't hear the call cut but he definitely heard the dial tone. Percy?! How could his own twin be the one to pick up his fiance's phone? Am I missing something?

"Hello? Is anybody there?"

The only thing that replied was the dial tone. Why did he hang up on me? Unless...

The only logical explanation that was coming to Primo's mind was that they must have met and probably swapped phones. But, Percy's phone was his life. He wouldn't mistake it for anything.

Another idea came up his mind. It was one that he had dismissed long before once Percy picked up the phone but now, it was kind of looking like the only logical situation.

When Percy picked him up from the airport, he paled when I mentioned the date of the wedding. I wouldn't find this weird, as he's not the type of person to commit so easily, but he had talked about another woman and her being married....
