Cellphones across the UK are of the form:

Again, if you are dialing from abroad, you drop the first 0.


...are we looking at a cell phone number?

Good catch on the cell number format. I think that would jive with what SoR posted

From what I gather he's refused to take anything other than on his cell.

I had been looking at this using 0 in place of 10 since yesterday, but got mired down in trying to make a US number out of it (stupid ethnocentricity Wink) or a regular international land-line or even a Skype-In number. So, who's going to attempt a call?

So I called and there's a package waiting for pickup at Victoria Station in London. Full instructions are waiting at a bar called The Foundry on Great Eastern Street. This is time sensitive, the package must be retrieved within just over 23 hours. A countdown of time left can be found here.

What just happened?

Hayder has shot out of the building, leaving his office with his laptop, and a bunch of paperwork.

Computer support are now in his office, disconnecting his computer, I gather they are sending it to his office in Zurich.


Personally I like the fact that Hayder had to sweat it out all weekend. Twisted Evil

Great, I wondered if we had one of those yet. IRC, a wiki, and Stickied all in the same week - we're moving up in the world! Wink I'll swing by chat later this afternoon.

And I wonder what bounty awaits the person who picks up the drop, seeing as it is at least in part payment for a hit...

 		Only 19 hours left to grab it, so yeah that does suck.

Someone else have a listen, but I do think the voice in enaxor's recording is the same as in the one attached to this post:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=540900#540900
which would mean that Tony (AB) is involved.
