So when Luther reports back it seems like he's been told to kill Cyrus but he says at the end he just does stuff like that...it also seems like Luthers in charge but the calls seem like he's not.
This topic has been discussed before on the board. It is a great mystery of the film.
I do not think he was talking to the cops as many have suggested. I simply believe that Luther is crazy and one of those people who wants to watch the world burn. When asked by the Warriors why did you shoot Cyrus he answers "no reason." At that point he had a gun in his hand and was about to kill Swan, so there is no reason to believe he was not being honest.
I think he was checking in with his gang's headquarters.
Remember when Luther called he said Cyrus had an "accident" so this line would suggest he acted on his own and whoever he was talking to was not in on him killing Cyrus. But I always thought it was hilarious that even the Rogues checked in to let the rest of their guys know they were ok! The Warriors never even mentioned any of their other gang members or even hinted at finding a phone! Lol!

His probation officer.
shareDavid Patrick Kelly has already answered this question in a prior interview. He said that the director never really gave him insight as to who he was supposed to be talking to on the phone but he felt personally that it was someone that Luther looked up to like a mentor of sorts.
