Narrative:
We were cleared for takeoff. The aircraft that had just departed reported 'we may have hit something.' since it was night time and below 80 knots; I elected to abort the takeoff and wait for a runway inspection. Re-ran all the checklists and re-ran [onboard performance tool] data. We departed as normal.
