The phone that the ghoul receptionist took care of rang.

A male voice answered.

"Lowrey Manor."

A female voice with a distinct British accent replied.

"Anton de Sforza for Christine Lowrey, please."

Methuselah Posts : 1376 Join date : 2011-10-11

"Please hold."

There was no annoying music while she waited for a minute before Christine picked up.

"This is Christine."

The switchover on the other end was equally seamless.

"Christine, Anton," brief... formalities. "We have an issue with other residents. Your lines are secure to speak freely, I assume?"

"They are as secure as I can make them."

There was a brief pause.

"I have received word that the Pyramid hierarchy is attempting to set undue attention upon our number by suggesting that one of our organization is one of the Fiends. Morton, Covington, Fortunato, Ethan, Harrington and Scion each received calls with the information, suggesting Finality in its conclusion by each of their hands."

There was further pause on her end.

"How do you know this?"

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"I ensure my informants are compensated beyond ordinary means, such effort is returned in kind. This, in particular, seemed prudent to raise as an issue when it reached my desk."

Methuselah Posts : 1376 Join date : 2011-10-11

"I agree. Thank you for informing me. I shall endeavor to nip this is the bud now."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"According to the means used, this may be from the near-top of the Pyramid, as well. If anything else regarding this makes its way to me, I'll call again."

"Thank you. If I'm not available, my Butler has been my most trusted servant for a very long time. You can trust him with anything, and it will get to my ears quickly."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"With respect, and I am certain that he is entirely trustworthy, if the upper echelons of the Pyramid are involved, I would worry that he would be placed in uncertain dangers if more detailed information on this were to be pressed. If you are not available, I will seek other means of getting the data to you."

"Very well. I will be headed to the Regency immediately."

Methuselah Posts : 2261 Join date : 2010-03-19

"Then I bid you a good evening and wish the best of luck."

The line would stay open until she hung up.

Methuselah Posts : 1376 Join date : 2011-10-11

"Good evening, Anton."

The line would go dead shortly after that.
