Oh, I have a slight headache. I also have a sore throat.

No, there's no need. Thank you.

Alright, just let me know if you need anything. Do you know anyone around here that you can call?

I believe my cousin, Jenny, lives near here.

Okay, let's try giving her a call.

All right.... (looking for her phone) No way...

What happened?

I lost my cellphone. I couldn't find it anywhere.

Where did you last use your phone?

Inside the train, I suspect it slipped out of my pocket while I was aboard. Where should I go?

I hope so. Anyway, let's go.
