The "disappearance" of Medellin was like a boulder thrown into the calm lake of international affairs, instantly stirring up waves.
Initially, it was just the suspicion of technicians when map service providers discovered abnormal interruptions in data flow from the Medellin area, halting satellite image updates.
Then, the Colombian Government erupted; their liaison stations and safe houses in Medellin completely lost contact, not even basic radio silence could be counted, it was an outright, frightening "blank."
Panic spread like a plague.
"What did the Mexicans do in Medellin?!"
Phones were almost exploding at Mexico's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with emergency hotlines from London, Paris, Berlin, Moscow... all activated with only one target: Mexico City.
However, all they got in response was busy signals.
They angrily smashed several phones.
Dammit...
Can't you answer the phone during a war?
People still manage to find time for hookups!
