| Good morning, Mr. Phelps. The two men you're
looking at are Edward Trask and Frank Mason. Mason has recently been given
control of the Syndicate's illegal betting parlors. He has modernized the
operations with computerized tote boards and put tie lines between his parlors
in cities all over the country. Trask has been assigned the job of removing the
competition in these cities, which he is doing without regard for life or
property. Conventional law enforcement agencies have been unable to gather
sufficient evidence for the arrest of these men. Your mission, Jim, should you
decide to accept it, is to break up this deadly alliance and thus prevent
millions of dollars from being funneled into Syndicate coffers. This tape will
self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim. |
