*satisfied that nearly everything is in place now, takes an incognito trip to one of the city's outlying districts and stops off at a deserted little diner to use the payphone*

Hello! I'm with the Green Vale Historical Society--have you heard of us? ... Oh, that's quite all right, we're used to being the underappreciated bunch. *laughs* Our monthly journal doesn't even make it into dentist offices' waiting rooms, how awful is that? ... Pretty awful, right.
Actually, this call is in regards to that journal? We're doing an article on the Houses of Gondolin and the impact some of their lords and leaders had on later Elven kingdoms. I wondered if I might arrange an appointment to speak with someone up top on that subject? ... Well, yes, of course I know that Lord Ecthelion died in the Fall. I was there. ... Oh, no, not at all. I completely understand far more than you know. ... Oh! Didn't I mention--? I'm sorry, I thought you would know what I meant. I wondered if we might impose on your second in command there, a Mister Erestor, I think his name is? ... Right, Lindon and Imladris. ... Oh, he's out of town? Are you sure you're not covering for him? I promise, we don't bite.
*chuckles in a friendly manner* But no, I believe you. The Fountain's Second must be one busy guy. When will he be back, do you think? ... Oh, day after tomorrow? Could I put in a request to chat with him at his earliest convenience? ... Oh, good. You know, actually, our rep would love to take him out for lunch. ... Hey, when you're an underdog in the journalism community, you learn the value of bribes! ... All right, excellent. I'll keep in touch to set up details, that sort of thing. ... Always. Thanks a lot, ma'am. Enjoy your day!
*hangs up with a little smile* *sometimes it's just too easy*
*heads out to his car, dialing a certain number along the way*
