[QUOTE="shadowbloodmoon, post: 2190427, member: 9986"] [i]How does he do that?[/i] Sighing, Jason let out a quick, [color=cyan]"Yes, sir."[/color] He stood up and went to the juice machine again. He chose apple juice this time. It was going to be a long day and he was going to have to call in a favor or three. So much for his next project. Opening his office door, Jason folded up the schematics, notes and documents that decorated his entire desk. Now able to see the wood underneath, he rubbed his first finger over the center. In moments, a panel slid aside and a digital rolodex appeared. At the same time, Jason fired up his tracing program. Then he opened another application, one which killed the original trace and added a looptrace. His sources were his own and he didn't want to lose them. Jason picked up the phone when the light went green. A voice answered the other line. "[i]Si?[/i]" [color=cyan]"Beautiful day in Venice, isn't it?"[/color] "What the hell do you want, you son of a...?" [color=cyan]"Be quiet and listen for a second. I got fifty G's says you know some stuff that's been going down in Home Town."[/color] "That's major [i]lira[/i] man, you good for it?" [color=cyan]"Aren't I always? Same setup. You get me the info, I'll get you the cash. Get me something good, I'll send you a present."[/color] "Like the last time?" [color=cyan]"Not my fault. Your people couldn't smell a setup if it was shoved in their faces. We have a deal?"[/color] "Yeah sure. What do you need?" [color=cyan]"The usual.
