PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS AS WHAT WE SAY RIGHT NOW!
Well, too bad.
The phone man tries to explain.
“Alright, sir, we need you to listen. It is not physically possible for us to make it so that you can be absolutely certain-”
“Yeah, yeah, I know.” the caller says. “Keep on going like this, and we'll end up juggling money and rebels. But you’ve told me this, which-”
BANG!There is a shot on the other end of the line.
The line goes dead.
The man at the phone slowly sinks back into his chair.
Celling lowers his head in defeat.
And that’s when the tech head on the other end of the table chirps up, “I’m doooonnee!”
Celling lifts his head back up. “What?”
“Traced the call!” he says happily. “Based on the phone number and records obtained from telecom companies, the call originated from Sector AQ-49, Substation 4, a twenty-mile stretch of land by the beach.”
Celling’s eyes go wide. “I don’t suppose we could-”
“Already done,” says the tech. He tosses Celling a map. The area in question is highlighted. “It’s prime tourist property. There are several zones of interest that are used for different things.”
Area 1: Street. This area encompasses Windward Lane and is surrounded by commercial district. There are different shops as well as some small single-family houses here.
Area 2: Hotels. This area is at the end of Eden Street and has several hotels and restaurants that cater to tourists.
Area 3: Pier. This is Pier 42, mainly a souvenir and shopping place, with different stores. It’s also a prime spot for sightseeing and fishing, and dolphins frequent the area.
Area 4: Beach. This is your classical day-trip beach, full of sunbathing people and sand castles. Several boats are also moored here.
Area 5: Marina. This smaller pier is lesser used and is a fishing spot as well as a boat dock. There are several fishing supply stores here.
