Greatly wrote:Agno sighed as the Minister of International Relations reported yet another long-distance call coming in. “Just let it go to voicemail,” they remarked irritatedly, but the Minister had doubts, voicing their concerns and reminding Agno that they had to stay active in international communications in order to rebuild Greatly’s reputation. Agno sighed once again, with great annoyance, but picked up the phone. “Hello?” They remarked, attempting to sound as cheerful as they could.

Lovisa heard that the voice was Agno’s. As she gasped for air and consciousness she managed to splutter the words:
“Help...Kidnap...Lovisa...”
Suddenly she saw a man watching everything she was doing without intercepting. Someone very familiar . Without thinking Haymitch popped in to her head and she loudly said: “Haymitch”. The other men suddenly realised what she was doing and the man next to the person
who Lovisa thought was Haymitch burst up and kicked her stomach. Making her fall unconscious, once and for all.

“This has ruined our plan”, the man who kicked her said.
“We must proceed the plan”, said the man who Lovisa had seen and thought was Haymitch.
“Surely it’s too risky?”
“It is too late to rethink and this is our chance.”
“Should we kill her?”
“No, she can be useful as hostage if everything would go wrong. Which won’t.”
Another man suddenly said:
“Did you turn off her phone?”
The men looked at each other realising their mistake and quickly turned off the phone. They cursed themselves all night for the information Agno might’ve received.

Meanwhile, Lovisa Gejervall arrived in a stressed mood to the Greatlyian government building and said that she had a meeting with Agno about pacifism. The man went to fetch Agno and Lovisa Gejervall waited impatiently as she hoped that Agno was available to speak to.
