"Here we are- Nero's secret hideout #257, last used five years ago when all the penthouses in NY so conveniently happened to be booked. Like right now," said Nero as he flicked on the light in the underground room, which was huge, and in Aeyra's opinion, really cool, but apparently didn't match up to Nero's standards. "We have electricity, water, there's a pizza shop just a few blocks from here, it's impossible to call here but we can call out, all trackers are immediately nullified the moment we step in, and etc. etc., but it just lacks pizzazz."
Ari gave him a swift smack on the head, rolling her eyes. "It's not supposed to have pizzazz. It's supposed to help protect us until someone comes and picks us up."
Aeyra took a look around- the walls were covered in screens, and there were at least ten computers in the room, and a huge one in the middle, which she guessed belonged to Nero. On the multitude of screens, she saw different security videos from all around New York, clothing stores, hotel lobbies, switching back and forth and back and forth.
"When trying to track a target in NYC, the Organization will use one of its tracking bases, such as this one, though it's outdated, to find the person in New York. If you have even the slightest inkling of where a person is or might be later, these are perfect," explained Chaos, taking particular interest in a screen showing the Rockefeller Center. "That looks fun," he said wistfully, and the look on his face told Aeyra he was thinking of Laela, and she said nothing.
"Nero... you said we can call out, didn't you?" she asked cautiously, putting her hand out. "Can I have my phone back then?"
"No. Use this," he replied, handing her a black phone that was covered in all sorts of buttons that Aeyra had no idea how to use. "It's impossible to hack into calls made from this phone. I created it. Want me to dial in the number?"
"Yes please," she answered, still trying to find out where the numbers on the phone could possibly be. The symbols looked more like Greek letters (and she was pretty sure they were) than anything else.
"Here you go," answered Nero, without even asking what number she wanted to call. "If your friends don't pick up, just try again later."
