Agents:

After last week's disastrous events, the Directorate has been scrambling to gather information on the safe robbery for our agents and affected clientele.

Last night around 3 AM, we received a mysterious message from a source who has critical knowledge of the stolen items. For security reasons, he says he would rather divulge the information offline, through rather "unusual" means.

The time:
    tomorrow at 3:52 PM EST

The location:
    Franklin Square in Philadelphia, under the lightning bolt

My contact (you'll know him when you see him) will require you to say the following phrase to confirm your identity...

    "Do you know where I might be able to find an umbrella, sir?"

He'll respond with...

    "It seems I'm hearing bells!"

You'll then finalize the 'deal' with:

    "Liberty doesn't come without a price."

Time is of the essence here and I really need your help because I feel that I'm in grave danger.

Help me MacHeist, you're my only hope...

Good luck to agents in the area, and report back as soon as the meeting is complete. Be sure to document all of your findings!

The point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come.

we should record this with a full setup. And then post it. So we can pour over every detail.
edit: someone has to go. Noone is going to simply pass up this chance.

The Master would not approve.
