A trap

The short beep told him that his request had been accepted, while the two long beeps after that told him how long he had to reach his assigned rendezvous point.

While this beep system was kind of weird, it was there to maintain anonymity; if Victor was ever caught whispering into a box, his captors at least wouldn't know what his words meant or what he had been told.

Not to mention that he had already been given instructions on how he should lie if he was ever caught.

They could not let anyone know who he was working with; for Their safety, obviously, but mostly for his.

The natives of this world would skin him alive if they ever knew who he was working with, after all.

Anyway, he had 2 hours to reach his destination. He would barely make it if he left right away.
