Every button on a telephone keypad has a different sound. Since I remembered each tone on Mr. Smith’s recording perfectly, it was a simple matter to match them up to numbers. Two seconds later, I had Joyce’s phone number. If I’d thought of it in time, I could have used a reverse directory at the library to look up her name and address.

Calling myself a drunken idiot, I picked up my phone’s receiver, punched number 4 so the dial tone went away, and said in a low voice: “Please tell Mr. Smith I’m going to the Azteca Casino on the nine o’clock bus tomorrow morning. When I get there, I’d like my bodyguard’s complimentary drink spiked — something that will tie him up in the bathroom for an hour or so. I’m going to win a million dollars at the blackjack tables. Don’t worry, I’ll give it back. If Mr. Smith is willing to help, I’ll owe him another favor. If not — well, I’ll manage on my own.”
