Laz had made a phone call before he headed towards his bike in the parking lot after he exited the building. As it turned out, it was to a temp service that was set up by the city to get people to help out. Basically, the couldn't get employees into the various restaurants and entertainment venues to take care of the crowds of people they were projecting would be coming. Prior to this event, it was just locals taking care of locals and there weren't any issues. But now, with millions of people set to enter the city for the event, they needed help. The message said they were closed now but to call back in the morning, a normal kind of business deal. At least the place sounded legit.
Of course Laz knew that the biggest factor was that ongoing issues within the city caused people to want to avoid areas where the rival associations were located. Even though they had been quiet as of late, there was no better time for them to make a showing than at one of the worlds largest festivals.
