A Pay Phone Under A Street Light Under a Dark Sky In a Dark Town, Saturday night

Jessica picked up the receiver and dropped her two bits into the slot. The wait for her contact with the government agency felt like it took two forevers. Finally, she was ready to talk.

"Things are getting bad here, Johnny. The low-lifes are getting lower and the high-lifes aren't near as high as they used to be," she explained. "Get this, a guy wanted me to marry him, torture him, or probably even both this morning. Sure, he was cute, but he wasn't even worried about Lady D, Johnny, not at all! Th deeper into this I go, the worse it smells, and I'm running out of nose plugs."

"I gotta admit, Johnny, I can even see why things are the way they are. It's fun to act like a tough broad, quick to love and even quicker with a knife. I'm worried, Johnny, worried that I'm even starting to enjoy it. Well, not the stabbing part so much, but I think that may just be because I'm stabbing to wound, not to kill!"

"But things are escalating like a set of those moving stairs. Lady D's gonna do something big, soon! I can feel it in my bones and I'm running out of time to stop her."

"You're right, Johnny. I just gotta do what I can. Tell the chief that he can count on me."

And with that, Jessica hung up, never realizing that the phone wasn't connected to anything because what the hell, it's the year 2014 and this was a pay phone. Do those even exist anymore?

[OOC: Open if you need to talk to Jessica or use a pay phone that I must stress is non-functional, but is SUPER dramatically lit. The contents of the, um, conversation are NFB please.]
