His conversation without any fear or inhibition, proved his careless attitude. He was calling, presumably his patron, whose geographical location was, privy to only a select few. Though many of them did not know his geographical location, he was accessible to core members. The conversation went on like this. \u2018We did it. The whole media is discussing it in their usual style, accusing and defending each other as it suits them. It\u2019s amusing. Some of them are shouting for modification of strategy to deal with us and the others accusing back. It\u2019s because of \u201cMODIfication\u201d, these things are recurrent. Now that we have successfully executed it, we need funds for our cause.\u2019 \u2018How much?\u2019 The person on the other person queried. When the caller pronounced his bidding, the respondent safely ensconced in the God-only-knows confines was shocked. He gave a long lecture to the novice. \u2018It\u2019s preposterous. We fund such huge sum as demanded by you only for a comprehensive covert operation, against odds. In a comprehensive covert operation, various processes of recruitment, networking, logistics, media propaganda and execution have to be performed in a hostile territory against so many odds.\u2019"}
