2012-07-10 A Business Call

"Jeremy Vitter." Executive producer at Gotham News, he had picked up the phone to answer it, not recognizing the unnamed number that had called his personal line. If it was a telemarketer --

"Mr. Vitter," the voice on the other end says. "I'm calling on behalf of your Alicia Moren, who is sitting near me as I speak. She is here as our guest for a short period of time, and will remain such until you perform a certain duty for me. Also, do not contact the police about this call or Ms. Moren's state, or I might be forced to make use of one of your other anchors for this purpose, do you understand?"

"You have a lot of nerve blackmailing me, whoever you--" Vitter starts to reply angrily over his phone, but another voice suddenly interrupts him, once he recognizes immediately.

"Jeremy, please."

"Alicia?"

"Do you understand now, Mr. Vitter? Say nothing, until we call again. You'll know when it's us. Say anything, and we'll be repeating this conversation, only with someone else in her place." Click.
