The call connected swiftly. Sanford's voice came through amidst the noisy background of Royarid Club.

“Brian, care to join me for a drink?"

Sanford was evidently intoxicated, yet again indulging in the club's atmosphere.

Brian replied, “Sanford, something has happened to Maggie. She is currently at Rosalynn's place. Would you like to come?"

Sanford's response was one of bewilderment, gradually sobering him up.
