Robin Arellano Black Phone Novels & Stories

It’s black, slightly thicker than a normal phone, with no branding. He hands it to me. "Encrypted," he says. "No app store. No social media. It has a direct line to me, to Enzo, and to the panic room console. That’s it." It’s heavy. It feels cold and utilitarian. It’s not a communication device, it’s a tool.

Robin was surprised and immediately called back. Unfortunately, he received a severe insult when his phone call was ignored. He threw his phone on the bed in annoyance and went to the bathroom. Robin double-checked that his phone screen was not turned on before walking through the door. He became agitated once he began to wet his body in the shower. He occasionally turns off the shower to hear if his phone rings. Robin sneered, rubbing his hair roughly, “That damn woman must have just learned how to use a smartphone.” His lips are slightly curved, and he smiles both sarcastically and happily.

Lori withdrew her hasty accusation and opened the phone box for Liz. “Whoa… Custom-made.” Lori’s eyes widened when she saw the highly polished back of the phone, unlike any typical model. Ruby accepted it and gazed in awe. It was, of course, the best and most luxurious phone she had ever owned. The phone was not large and could even be folded into a smaller size. It was the latest model, usually only seen by Ruby on buses or TV. “What kind of leaf is this?” Ruby asked, pointing to the uniquely patterned custom case. As Lori mentioned earlier, the phone's back was specially painted with scattered green leaves that looked refreshing.

To me they all pretty much look the same but my eyes keep drifting to a pale blue one beside William. “Which one do you have? I ask thinking that I could just pick the same so he could help get it set up right before tonight. William reaches into his pocket pulling out a black phone with a clear case on it. He seems to think that I will know which type that is just by looking. “It’s an older model but it is similar to this one.” He gestures to the phone next to the blue one. “But it comes in other colours.” He continued “Is that blue one similar? I don’t really care about the details but the colour is pretty.” I hope that it is otherwise I will have to pick a different one but that is the on

"Open it." I lifted the lid. Resting inside the velvet lining was a brand-new, customized smartphone. It was sleek, lightweight, and completely devoid of any brand markings or commercial logos.

Looking at it, swiping up to unlock it ,I opened the contact list Instead, there were already few names programmed into the memory. The first was *Adrian*, marked with a small, crown icon next to it.

"But the legal front… that’s where Alister is striking hardest now. He knows the clock is his greatest weapon. He’s using it to bludgeon us." The satellite phone rang again, a shrill, urgent sound. Damien snatched it up. "Blackstone." His posture, already rigid, went impossibly stiffer. "What?" A beat of silence, heavy enough to crush bone. The colour drained from his face, leaving it ashen. His knuckles, pressed against the armrest, turned bone-white. "When?" Another pause.

Jay, on the other hand, looked reluctant. “What type of mobile phone are you looking for?" the salesperson asked obsequiously. “Do you have one in black for this one?" Angeline pointed to an Apple mobile phone and asked. The salesperson apologized. “Sorry, black is out of stock.” “I’ll have white then,” Angeline said. "White is out of stock too.” Angeline said reluctantly, “I’ll have two red ones then.” Angeline then bought two SIM cards, paid the money, and left with the mobile phones, feeling satisfied.

I swallowed and hesitantly took what she offered. "Y-yes, I know," I stammered. "Good to know I won't teach you that, too," Miro interrupted. I was very careful not to glare at him. He thought I was torturing him too much.
