One of the officers goes off in search of someone with a cell phone that could be borrowed. Meanwhile, Fate tries to telepathically make contact with the thrashing utility worker. He gets only the slightest flutter of a response, and certainly nothing intelligible. Fate had gotten a much stronger response when he tried his power on a cat once (out of curiosity, of course).
"Here you go," the officer says, handing him a cell phone. Fate thanks him and then dials his voicemail.
The first message is timestamped only a few minutes ago and goes something like this:
Fate immediately has to replay the message to figure out who it is from and what he's talking about.
The next message is again from Jorgi, this time apologizing for not including information about where he can be found. The address for the Keyhole apartments puts it about two miles away from where Fate and Lawrence currently are.
The third message is from Granite trying to get a message relayed to Professor Fate. He briefly recounts his own episode with a zombie-like utility worker in the sewers on 10th St. It dawns on Fate that he and Maggie had just come out of the restaurant probably within a block of where Granite was. Granite is hoping that Professor Fate could meet him or call him back so they can figure out what to do next. (Unlike Jorgi's call which was probably from an unlisted number, this call has a return number.)
The fourth message is from Sandra Poynter.

Ms. Larson decides that it might be more prudent to flee outside rather than back into her first floor apartment. When she sees the sparks start flying off Jorgi, she starts running and doesn't look back.
Jorgi steps back and floats up off the ground. His body crackles with a tangible aura of electricity.
The plumber finally crashes through the door, ripping the hinges out of the wood frame. The door tumbles awkwardly over the lobby bench that Jorgi had dragged in front of it and the plumber tries to navigate his way over it. Jorgi unleashes a bolt of lightning into his chest. The plumber twitches spasmodically and his shirt smoulders slightly, but it otherwise doesn't seem to faze him much. [attack roll 13+5=18, hit; Dmg save 25 vs. DC22, success]
The plumber tries to climb over the tilted door, but falls flat on his face for his efforts. [balance check = 7, fail]

With Jorgi wiping out the plumber, he'll be dropping out of "combat time" and I'll be able to get you back into the story in a post or so.)
