He heard the ringtone of his phone which was in his pocket. Putting into his hand into the pocket of his pants, he took out the phone and looked at the caller ID on the screen.
The name revealed on it was a familiar one to him. The hotline of the governor of the state who was now his family. Without wasting time he picked up the call and exchanged pleasantries with the governor.
There was silence from the other end for a little while but he was patient, knowing fully well that the line was still connected. The breathing emitting from the said person was something he could hear still so he knew it was an indication that the governor was trying to catch his breath.
