Sylvia's POV:
When we proposed the exchange, Hobson burst into hoarse laughter.
"I don't give a damn about those vampires," Hobson said calmly.
Leonard pounded his fists on the desk and said angrily, "Hobson, so many years have passed but you're still so good at pretending."
Hobson fell silent for a few seconds. When he spoke again, his voice was hard and irritable. "I didn't expect you to be on this call."
Leonard snorted coldly but didn't say anything more.
"What do we have to do for you to let her go?" Rufus continued determinedly.
Hobson laughed. "She's just an ordinary she-wolf. Why do you care about her so much?"
"We're not cold-blooded vampires like you," Leonard sneered impatiently. "Exchanging hostages is the easiest way to deal with this problem. We're all very busy, so we don't have time to play tricks with you."
Hobson paused slightly. "Let me talk to Sylvia. Then I'll think about it."
Rufus glanced at me and asked in a low voice, "Is that okay with you?"
I nodded.
Rufus handed the phone to me. After clearing my throat, I said clearly, "This is Sylvia. What's up?"
Hobson said seriously, "Turn off the speaker. This'll be our little secret."
