When The Call Came

The driver had just settled his fares in the back of his taxi when the phone rang.
“I need to talk to you,” said the voice. “Can I do it now? Is it convenient?”
No names were exchanged but the driver recognised the man. Realising the importance of the call he was uncertain what to say as he didn’t want his passengers to know.
“I er…am busy at the moment.”
“But I need to know. I need to speak.”
“Ok. Give it ten.”
“ I’ll call again. Is it the number ending 2519?”
“Yes.’’
He was ready for the challenge.
