Whoa, what's with the sudden cloak and dagger? Who's he about to call that he needs a burn phone...?
Raymond Karras, A.K.A. Zeus.
A few quick keystrokes punched from memory, then there was a ring and the line connected...
"CEO Raymond Karras of Olympus Unlimited speaking, who is this and how did you get this number?"
"Zeus? It's Aesculapius, I'm going to Africa, a situation has come up in Nigeria, booty call from IbĂș Akuaro, I'll be gone for about three to five months depending on how long the monsoon lasts."
"Us damn-it Aesculapius, I've told you this is a secure line! When you call me here do it from the phone Hephaestus put together for you before he buggered off to work for NASA! You're actually putting us at more risk of having the call intercepted by pulling this shit you cribbed from Criminal Minds than just doing what you're supposed to!" Zeus fumed, but mastered his emotions. "Anyway, fine, go: I would probably, no; make that definitely; do the same in your place," Zeus said with an audible grimace. "Just be sure to have your plane kept ready for takeoff at 30 minutes notice and a chopper on standby to get you to it, we had a very close call in Bolivia and I don't want a repeat, savvy?"
"Can do, I will give you a call on the sat phone when I touch down in Kano, catch you then," Aesculapius said, and took apart the burn phone and broke the sim card with two pairs of pliers from the glove compartment...
Does anything interesting happen on the way to the airport?
Olympus On Earth
Ancient gods reborn in the Modern Age
The ancient Olympian gods have been reincarnated in the modern age as semi-mortal beings with human lifespans, but powers comparable to what they once held. Having taken human identities, the gods now live new lives in the mortal world, gravitating to occupations appealing to their ancient divine portfolios. For example, Zeus and Hera now have become the owners of a prominent international corporation, ruling over it as they once did Olympus itself. However, while being mortal has mellowed them, they are still very much the dysfunctional beings of power they once were. This story is their various adventures (misadventures) in living in the modern world.
