This voicemail came in after radio. Naturally. Also you could sort of make out the screaming in the background. "I don't care about the cost, just make it stop." A beat. "This is Sarah, by the way."

Succinct.

Of course John rang her back right after he got home where it was quiet enough to hear his phone beeping and realize he had a message.

"For a fellow Brit adrift, just have a cold one ready when I get there, love. I'll be right over."

"Good."

There was going to be a cold Shazamstell and crisps and whatever else she had around. At least you could count on your countrymen sometimes.
