Piter Svoboda has never been a particularly easy man to find. He spent the majority of his time on the road while he was wrestling, and has been prone to nomadicism in the times in between as well. Still, one thing you know about him is that he is hardly ever without his phone. For that reason, you first try to give him a call. Not only does the call go directly to voicemail, but the box is full.

Next on your list of numbers to try is that of Jomatran "Jommy "The Armenian" Armenian" Armenian, Piter's agent and one of his closest friends. The Armenian chats with you for several agonizing minutes, distracting himself several times from the issue at hand. Still, it soon becomes obvious that he hasn't heard from Svoboda since shortly before he flew out of London after Survive & Conquer. After several abortive efforts to say goodbye, you finally hang up.

You try a few other people Piter was close to. Amanda Davis sounds concerned, but says she hasn't heard from Piter since before the APW event. Schlomo Goldstein is surprised to hear that Piter is missing. Apparently the two of them hadn't talked in a while, and the old man sounds starved for conversation. Of course, you can't really spare the time, so you're forced to cut him off and bid him a hasty valediction.

Finally, playing the long odds, you send a text message to Schrödinger asking him if he's got any information on Piter Svoboda. Sometimes he's privy to the movements of the feds, and the name does tend to stand out in a crowd. About an hour later, you get the message:

"hes in a bad place"

As if you didn't know that. It seems that this line of inquiry will have to come to

The End
