Toreno then decided to get to work. He would have to make a few calls to a few of his specialists that he had access to. He picked up his secure phone that could only send and not receive; any attempt to trace to that line would just show up as jammed or out of service. He had a second phone for receiving calls, both had digital equipment that synthesized his voice.
He pushed the "1" button on the speed dial and listened to the phone on the other side ring. Someone answered.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Carl."
"Toreno? What the fuck man! I thought you said that Hydra thing was the last job?"
"Carl, that was a decade ago. Thing have come up now."
"Toreno I got shit to do. This better be important."
"Maybe to me it is important, Carl. Look, all I want from you is your flight skills. Just pick up a few guys , then fly them to LSX, and drive them to one of your safe houses and let them wait for a few."
"Damn man! I gotta let a few nobodies into on of my houses?"
"Carl, you have about 13, not to mention that seized drug mansion has about 13 or more rooms. Plus, it'll only be a couple hours, plus you get to help."
"What do you call me being your pilot?"
"A prerequisite. I mean you get to take part in this!"
"Take part in what?"
"Carl! This is my greatest feat yet! It'll be greater than that thing at Caligula's!"
"Wait how'd you—"
"Carl, remember: I know nothing and everything. Got it?"
"Uh…yeah..sure."
"Great! Now first guy is going to be in Staunton. Bellview Park, bathrooms."
"Um… bathrooms?"
"Yeah, yeah, just flush a toilet three times, that's the signal."
"Got it."
"Next guy is in Portland View. He'll be at Eddie's Auto. Brown trench coat and hat. Say 'Royal Flush,'"
"Okay.."
"Next guy you'll find at the Angel Pine Motel, ask for Jack Powers."
"Right."
"Lastly, I want Zero."
"Zero? That guy couldn't even piss his pants right! The hell he gonna do?"
"Carl, can it! I need him now just get him!"
"Gee, Chill out!"
"I'll be in touch."
The phone went dead and CJ hung up his phone and with that he was off to collect his human cargo.
