There's radio playing quietly in the background - he's probably calling from the hotel and not the nexus. "Er - hi, Nick Hardaway, we met quite recently...I'd like to talk about your offer."

He leaves the number of his pinpoint and with the awkwardness of someone who thinks voicemail is useful but frustrating, ends the message.

Alya calls back within about twenty minutes, fresh out of the shower with a robe wrapped around her and her hair still damp.

Nick's turning the radio down again when he answers, "Hello! Alya?"

...of course it's Alya, nobody else has this number yet.

"Yes, hello. I just got your message." She settles on the edge of the sofa arm nearest her, glancing around the room. Her apartment is, as you might expect, best classified as 'upscale'. (She's lived in far less comfortable, actually, but not in recent memory.)
