US Wiretap
How was this found?
A new USB flash drive was found in the women's bathroom at a NIN concert. On the drive were two things: Me, I'm Not, and an odd MP3 file called 2432.mp3. This file, when run through a spectrograph, revealed a new phone number: 1-216-333-1810. When this number was dialed, a recorded phone tap provided by the US Wiretap could be heard. This led the listener to [1].
The recording also gave a case number. When the case number added to the end of the US Wiretap URL (or when the page source is checked), one is brought to this page: [2].

But you don't have much of an arrest record on that score. SLANSKI There's a lot of law-abiding folks in my district. Just bad luck, I guess. AGENT SIKES (no response) SLANSKI (no response) AGENT SIKES Did you know any of the dead? SLANSKI What? AGENT SIKES The dead. There were 112 people locked in an underground nightclub you permitted to operate in your district. They were murdered over the course of 2 days, hunted down and torn to bloody pieces. Im asking if you knew any of them. SLANSKI Yeah. AGENT SIKES Do you find yourself wondering if they would have been alive if you had shut that place down? I mean, if I was you, that'd be all I could think about. SLANSKI (no response) AGENT S You answered the 10-48 and went immediately to the Star Chamber. SLANSKI When I got there a couple of feds were already stringing quarantine tape. AGENT SIKES Could you hear anything? SLANSKI Screams. Screaming and yelling. People beating on the doors, but the feds had already padlocked all the doors. AGENT SIKES By Feds you mean people like me. SLANSKI Yes. AGENT SIKES What was your role? SLANSKI Crowd control. Some phone calls got out. We had people showing up trying to get into the Star building. AGENT SIKES And your job was to keep them back. SLANSKI People had kids in there. Brothers and sisters. AGENT SIKES And according to these notes, you did your job very well. SLANSKI It wasn't my wife or kid dying in there. AGENT SIKES But you were sick about the fucking feds and you wanted to kill someone. SLANSKI The psychologist? AGENT SIKES Don't be paranoid, Officer Slanski. The psychologist turned over her records voluntarily. SLANSKI Of course she did. AGENT SIKES Apparently she isn't as willing to look the other way as you are when it comes to subversive thoughts. About some things, maybe, but in the face of a terrorist incident which had just taken the lives of 112 Americans? SLANSK I I'm not a fucking politician. I just said it made me sick to hear those people in there. There wasn't anything we could have done. I can't believe there wasn't anything. AGENT SIKES Try. SLANSKI (no response) AGENT SIKES Hard. SLANSKI (no response) AGENT SIKES Two days later you were called back to the scene. Describe what happened then. SLANSKI You know what happened. AGENT SIKES Yes, but I'm very thorough, so I'd like to hear you tell it. Tell me what happened yesterday. SLANSKI Crowd control again. A bunch of guys in bunny suits went into the building with some very serious equipment. AGENT SIKES What kind of equipment? SLANSKI I don't know. Flamethrowers and shit. AGENT SIKES And then? SLANSKI Then nothing. That's it. AGENT SIKES (no response) SLANSKI There was an agent. AGENT SIKES Yes. SLANS Like you. Same badges. AG ENT SIKE S Yes. SLANSKI And that's it. She ran the clean-up. Went inside, saw what she came to see I assume, pulled out the decon unit and left. AGENT SIKES Not quite like me. SLANSKI Listen, I really don't need to know anything here. I'm not a great cop but I like the job, I like the guys, I like my family. AGENT SIKES Yes. I have pictures of your little girl. Would you like to see them? S LANS KI (no response) AGENT SIKES I like this one the best. She looks adorable. SLANSKI (No response) AGENT SIKES The other agent wasn't quite like me. SLANSKI Fuck. I wasn't trying anything. I was just being polite, I just opened the car door for Christ's sake. AG ENT SIKES (no response) SLAN SKI She smelled strange. Coppery. She brushed by me as she got in the car and it was like I had a penny in my mouth just for a second. AGENT SIKES Anything else? SLANSKI (no response) AGENT SIK ES Jeff, I can't help you if you aren't 100 percent. SLANSKI She was crying. AGENT SIKES But that wasn't the strange part. SLANSKI And her tears were orange. AGENT SIKES That's right, they were. S LANSKI I didn't mean to see that! AGENT SIKES I know. And, I'm sorry.
