[QUOTE="writernextdoor, post: 6027906, member: 6689303"] It took Mace a few days to work out a plan. But when he came to it, it seemed so obvious. He'd contact The Man. [2 point Tradecraft spend] set up a time and place for the phone call to happen. And between now and then, Mace went to church, washed himself in holy water and set the phone in a circle of white candles and salt....just to be sure. Father Craig was called in to observe the phone call, as well as keep an eye on the door. The phone call happened 5 minutes after sunset. "Good evening Mr Hunter." "Dispense with the pleasantries and the fake voice, I know what you sound like." There then came a keening screech that made Mace wince and shudder, almost dropping the phone. It was as though a million crickets chirped while nails dragged against glass. "That is what I sound like, and since it would turn your brain to paste, I use this form to communicate to you." "I need to set up a meeting. I know all about the adoption agency-" "We are aware of what you know Hunter. Why should we meet?" "We'll give you back the boy, and not bother your food supply." "You surrender to us?" "That isn't what I said. I said we won't bother your food supply and you can have the boy back." "I do not care for the boy now, he is polluted. Give me your word, Mace Hunter, that you won't interfere with the food." "You have my word." "Then we'll meet tonight, 3AM, beneath the Exit 8 underpass of the old highway. And you will confirm our deal in blood." The phone went dead. Father Craig uttered a quick prayer, then pulled up the maps for the old highway. Exit 8 dumped off to the south, and was far away from the river - a good spot for a bloodsucker to hold meetings. The cage was ready. MikeSmith would call some construction buddies [2 point Network spend] to hoist it up under the bridge so it could drop down on The Man, or whatever its name was. Rossini and Nick cleaned and loaded every gun with silver bullets. It was go time. [/QUOTE]
