Cold Call

Christian, a cock-of-the-walk dealmaker, pilots his Mercedes through Los Angeles rush hour traffic. He chugs coffee as he works his phone - fielding calls from supplicants, closing deals, and harassing his secretary. He receives an incoming call with no caller ID. A hysterical woman speaks, cries: “Daddy, Daddy, help me!” Christian, concerned that his daughter has been in an accident, works to calm her. But a new voice comes on the line: “If we can’t deal, I’ll hang up and shoot your daughter in the head!”
