<Angela_Daniels> ::so um….next day guys? Or whats?  If so will be at Mark and her house!::
<Jason_Korat> ::is at the bureau listening to the news::
* Felony is now known as Ann_Gora
<Jason_Korat> ::it’s the next day. XD;:
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::next day is fine. Is back in the locker room, installing a new towel rack to replace the one she melted::
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> ::is at home herself, tending to the kitts and worrying mildly. Has tried not to cry, but now is having doubts about his “plan”::
<Ann_Gora> ::reported the whole story like she was told she could do, saying that Governor Lyons is safe at an undisclosed location but is refusing to comment on the event. meanwhile the manhunt for the accused, a Jack Spinner, is at large::
<Angela_Daniels> ::has been making arrangements and such for the funeral.  is sitting on the couch looking over some pictures of her and him::
<Jason_Korat> <Mark> ::don’t cry for me, Angelinaaaaa::
<Ann_Gora> :;Spinner is to be considered armed and dangerous and not only has he killed Director Sulfur, but Ann lists off various other major offenses in his history::
<Jason_Korat> ::small smirk:: <Let’s see him get away from THAT.>
<Angela_Daniels> ::Well I am meanie!::
<Angela_Daniels> ((brb!))
<Jason_Korat> ::sighs softly and sits down now, thinking;: <It better work… I really hope he knew what he was doing.>
* Ann_Gora is now known as Tansy_B
<Tansy_B> ::comes back to the MBI after taking off yesterday. disappointed as she couldn’t find Spinner anywhere. goes to breakroom, needs some icecream::
<Jason_Korat> ::is at the table, hands crossed against his chin::
<Tansy_B> ::goes back to regulation height XD. uses wind to open freezer rough, grabs icecream container then has wind slam freezer door back. gets spoon in same manner from drawer and sits down at Jase’s table. opens lid and starts gorging on the sweet cool treat::
<Angela_Daniels> ((back!))
<Tansy_B> ((wb!))
<Jason_Korat> ((WB!))
<Angela_Daniels> ((TY!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((wb!))
<Jason_Korat> ::wonders what is it with she-kats and their ice-cream dates with Tom N’ Jerry XD::
<Tansy_B> ::looks at Jase mid mouthful as if just now seeing him. puts spoon down:: … I apologize for leaving yesterday, Captain.
<Jason_Korat> :shakes his head:: It’s alright. It was… a very rough day.
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> ::is trying to rock Katie to sleep, but can’t seem to do it;:
<Angela_Daniels> ::flips through some pictures, trying to find a good one for his obituary.  though pausing every now and then to admire a picture::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::walks in quietly to where Trina is:: Problems? ::softly::
<Jason_Korat> <Mark> ::I’m actually smiling in all of these! What a miracle!::
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> ::very small smile;: I think she’s sensing how upset I am…
<Angela_Daniels> ::good! you better be! XD Setting a couple aside she likes in particular::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::nods:: she has that knack.  Let me try? ::offering to take her::
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> You’ll probably have more luck than I am. ::lets him:
<Tansy_B> Still… I went to search for Spinner… but did not find him.
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::bwhahaha he keep any of ME? XD::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::takes her:: you go rest.  Unwind from everything.
<Jason_Korat> <Mark> ::those have dartboard holes in ‘em. XD Maybe a couple?::
<Jason_Korat> Everybody is. He won’t go too far.
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!!))
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> I can’t. ::as she picks up Cale to snuggle him:: I’m so numb right now… I can’t even cry. And, I keep wondering… what if it doesn’t work. What if he’s really gone?
<Tansy_B> ::sighs… looks at him:: He is winning, Captain.  Which of us is next?
<Jason_Korat> I don’t know… but I have a feeling that bullet was meant for the governor.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> then we’ll have to to deal with it however we can. ::sighs, sitting down to rock Katie::  for now we have to believe that it will work.
<Angela_Daniels> ::well if she does find any of Josie will set them aside to give to her!::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::whirring of the drill can be heard as she works, sorry mun is so quiet::
<Tansy_B> That is what they are saying on the televisions.
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> You really think so?
<Jason_Korat> ::nods: Now… how Mark knew about it…
<Tansy_B> ((<Angie> ::or set on fire. then give to her::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((LOL!))
<Tansy_B> He knew about it? ::tilts head in mid bite::
<Jason_Korat> ((::dies!:: <angie> ::magic-markers horns and a tail first!::))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> I don’t know what I think anymore.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::rolling!::))
<Jason_Korat> That bullet was shot from a building a half mile away into the second floor of ours. How did he know?
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!))
<Jason_Korat> Furthermore, how did he know it’d happen? Did he have a hunch that he’d die sometime in the future?
<Tansy_B> That is not something normal that can be done you mean?  What did the Director do?
<Jason_Korat> ::throws his hands up inna shrug:: All I did was follow his orders.
<Jason_Korat> I have no idea what he’s done…
<Tansy_B> Why save her though?  She has been nothing but trouble to the MBI.
<Jason_Korat> Mark’s never really picked sides.
<Jason_Korat> <Katie> ::finally manages to calm down in his arms::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::soft smile at her:: there we go…thats a good girl.
<Tansy_B> Now he never will… ::looks down into the icecream container::
<Jason_Korat> We kept reminding him that it was his biggest mistake.
<Tansy_B> So … which one of you is Director now? ::looks at up him, wiping her eyes… some papers rustle with light breeze. controlling herself magicwise::
<Jason_Korat> Captain Forge.
<Jason_Korat> Or should I say Director Forge.
<Tansy_B> Where is he today?
<Jason_Korat> Home.
<Jason_Korat> <Katie> ::yawns, falls asleep::
<Tansy_B> ::frowns:: Home?!
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::smiles when she goes to sleep. gets up to go put her in her crib! tucking her in then looks to Trina:: need help with him or are you alright?
<Jason_Korat> ‘m fine.
<Jason_Korat> ((BRB!)0
<Jason_Korat> (Trina up there))
<Angela_Daniels> ((okies!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((okay!))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::nods to her:: I should get back up there. Help with the aftermath.  Gonna send someone to stay with Angie just in case.
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> Alright. ::leans up to kiss his cheek after taking Katie::
<Jason_Korat> ((back))
<Angela_Daniels> ((WB!))
<Jason_Korat> For a short while. He’ll be back.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>:smiles:: Love you. ::kisses the top of her head before going to geto n his coat and boots::
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> Love you too.
<Tansy_B> Where is everyone else? ::standing, closing the container::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::finally emerges, wiping her hair back over her forehead and carrying her tools::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::heads back to the bureau!::
<Jason_Korat> Last I saw Selkirk, she was in the she-kat locker room.
<Angela_Daniels> 9(<Jason> don’t ask me what I was doing to see her in there though…))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::goes to put the tools away wherever they’d go, and heads for the breakroom::
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!))
<Tansy_B> So the rest are out searching for Spinner right?
<Jason_Korat> Yes, they are.
<Jason_Korat> We have Enforcers on high alert, too.
<Tansy_B> Good.  I think I will return out to search for him. ::takes up the icecream container and puts it back in the freezer::
<Jason_Korat> Alright. Keep us posted. You wish to take someone with you?
* Angela_Daniels is now known as Joseph_Forge
<Joseph_Forge> ::in due time will arrive! parking and getting out. heading inside the bureau.::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::you and Tansy in there, Jase?::
<Tansy_B> I do not care.  I can travel quicker on my own but if you wish to assign someone to me then I will go with them.
* McGrath has joined
* ChanServ sets mode: +o McGrath
<Jason_Korat> ((Heys!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((Lo!))
<Tansy_B> ((hey Matt!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((hey matt!))
<Jason_Korat> ::sees Selkirk:: Why don’t yuo take Selkirk with you?
<McGrath> ((Don’t think I can make it tonight. Got some stuff to take care of))
<Joseph_Forge> ::walks in teh bureau, hands in his coat pockets. looking aorund a bit as he comes in to see who managed to come in.  heads over to the conference room to take a look in there to make sure it got cleaned up and the repair crews got the window replaced.::
<Joseph_Forge> ((okies! take care tonight!))
<Jason_Korat> ((S’alright! Take care!))
<Jason_Korat> <Conference room> ::spick ‘n span, even!::
<McGrath> ((See you later!))
* @McGrath Quit (Quit: McGrath)
<Joseph_Forge> ::good! leans in doorway just thinking, staring at where Mark fell::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Take me with you where? ::washing up at the sink::
<Tansy_B> To search for Spinner.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Wait, didn’t the Enforcers take him in? ::worried now::
<Tansy_B> No.  He escaped… the car he was picked up in never arrived.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Oh dear kats . . . ::holds the bridge of her nose::
<Tansy_B> Let us go now. ::shrinks down to her 9″ self, wings out::
<Joseph_Forge> ::sighs and comes away from the door, goign to his office to get his coffee mug then heads to the breakroom::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::follows, would like to ask more but needs to keep up:: Go where? Do we have any leads?
<Jason_Korat> ::watches them go, then just buries his face into his arms::
<Joseph_Forge> ::will head towards the breakroom! just missing the girls leaving.  walking in and sees Jason then sighs and goes fill up his mug::  You should take a break. get out of here for a bit.
<Tansy_B> Just doing a wide search of the city, Stormcrow.  Further away from where Mark was… ::doesn’t finish just continues flying outside, leading the way::
<Jason_Korat> ::smirks softly: And then what?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::frowns:: I’m not sure how effective that’ll be.
<Tansy_B> ::stops and scowls hovering in front of her at eye level:: You have a better idea for finding him?! ::wind picks up slightly lol Tansy never been this serious or determined before::
<Joseph_Forge> And then…we tackle this problem anew.
<Jason_Korat> ::nods:: By the way, we haven’t heard anything from Feral yet.
<Joseph_Forge> ::nods:: do I need to call him?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::sighs:: I’m only saying he’s not likely to hang around near where he was captured. But, we can search anyway. Maybe there’ll be a clue.
<Jason_Korat> I already did.
<Jason_Korat> Nothing yet.
<Tansy_B> We must find him!  ::stands on her shoulder, grabs some of her hair:: Teleport us there!
<Joseph_Forge> we’ll wait then. I’m sure he’s dealing with a media storm too. ::sits down at the table with Jase:: Someone should stay with Angie.  I just thought of that earlier today.  If I remember right she really doesn’t have much family and neither did mark.  She may be alone.
<Jason_Korat> I’ll stop by later today to check on her.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Ow, easy! ::as he hair’s pulled.:: Just give me a moment. ::concentrates, trying to remember where the building was in relation to the Bureau, then sets out::
<Joseph_Forge> Thanks.  she call yet to say a time and day for the funeral?
<Joseph_Forge> <Angie>:;can say yes iffan you wants!::
<Jason_Korat> :nods:: Two days from now. Noon.
<Joseph_Forge> Good.  I’ll send word to Josie. ::sighs;: promised i would.
<Jason_Korat> Did she at least say anything nice?
<Tansy_B> ::hangs on for the ride! as LS does her zippin’ dealie::
<Joseph_Forge> She was upset.  Didn’t believe me at first.
<Jason_Korat> Why would she doubt anything like this?
<Jason_Korat> :mildly ticked::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::eventually arrives at the scene of the crime::
<Joseph_Forge> I think it was doubt like the rest of us had. That he’s not really dead.  This is all a fake.
<Jason_Korat> Of course she would. ::rolls his eyes now::
<Tansy_B> ::leggos of her hair. notes the crime scene tape and such:: Did you see him here yourself originally?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::smooths her hair back:: Not down here. ::as they’re on the ground floor:: We followed him up there, on the elevator. ::indicates::
<Joseph_Forge> Jason..calm down. We’re all upset.  And she deserves to be upset too.
<Tansy_B> … that is a far away spot from the Bureau… ::glances back from where they came:: It is strange that the Director was able to note him there.
<Jason_Korat> She always feels she deserves entitlement, Joe.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::swallows:: I know, and it worries me. Can you sense anything . . . off, magically speaking?
<Jason_Korat> ::almost can’t believe Joe’s playing Devil’s Advocate for Josie. XD::
<Joseph_Forge> I know that. But we aren’t giving that to her.  What I am giving her is a wake up call. That our friend is dead because she had to make so many enemies that she’s not safe anywhere she goes.
<Jason_Korat> Well, if that doesn’t snap her out if it…
<Joseph_Forge> Then nothing will.  And I will have done a moral duty to let her know of his funeral and nothing more.
<Tansy_B> Magically speaking? ::never considered:: … let me take a look. ::flies upwards and to where they originall found spinner. after several minutes she returns to Storm:: No… there is no magic residue of anykind up there.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::frowns:: Which is weird in and of itself, since Spinner’s only around because Swytch brought him back. I guess she wanted to be sure he couldn’t be traced.
<Jason_Korat> ::nods:: Right.
<Tansy_B> Or she has no control over him anymore.

<Stormcrow_Selkirk> . . . I’m not sure which idea scares me more. Did you see anything else while you were up there?
<Joseph_Forge> ::sips his coffee:: I don’t know what we’re gonna do if he doesn’t come back…I’m not much of a director.
<Jason_Korat> You’re doubting yourself already?
<Tansy_B> Nothing unusual… the evidence is most likely already gone.
<Joseph_Forge> Jason..as long as there’s a chance for him to return I will never take that seat fully.  That is Mark’s place. not mine.
<Jason_Korat> ::softly:: And, what if he doesn’t return?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::small sigh:: Any thoughts on where to go from here?
<Joseph_Forge> Then I’ll figure the rest out later.
<Tansy_B> All I know to do… is to search.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> . . . All right, I’m with you.
<Jason_Korat> ::nods, then stands:: I better go check on Angela.
<Joseph_Forge> alright. Let me know if she needs anything.  We’ll do whatever we can for her. For Mark’s sake.
<Jason_Korat> WIll do. ::goes grab his jacket and heads out::
<Jason_Korat> ((And, it’s sad, but I need to head out to bed myself. Have church inna morning))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((Maw, nights Sage!))
<Tansy_B> ((nights bebbe!))
<Joseph_Forge> ((Maww nights sagey!))
<Tansy_B> Perhaps Mark is made of magic to see something so far away… ::slight smile like “psh yeah right”::
<Jason_Korat> ((NIght all!))
* @Jason_Korat Quit (Quit: )
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::frowns:: . . . Now that you mention it . . . ::takes out the noted page from the Tome of Time from her pocket::
<Tansy_B> Hmmm?
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::you gonna tell me the funeral Joe?::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I’m still not sure what it means, but Trina gave this to me yesterday. It looks like Mark might have been dealing in magic somehow.
<Joseph_Forge> ::I guess….XD::
<Joseph_Forge> ::after Jase leaves gets up to go to his office! sitting down and pulling out her card to call! dialing the number!::
<Tansy_B> ::sits on her shoulder to look at it. gasps:: This is from the Tome of Time!
<Tansy_B> <Josie> ::XD you know you wannuuuuu hahaha ahem answers:: … yes…
<Joseph_Forge> Lyons, its Forge.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I know. ::examines it again, but as the mun who created the note isn’t here, can’t understand much from it::
<Tansy_B> <Josie> … what is it, Captain?
<Tansy_B> How is it he came apon this?  Why did he give it to you?
<Joseph_Forge> The funeral is two days from today at noon.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Like I said, Trina’s the one who gave it to me, and she didn’t really explain it.
<Tansy_B> <Josie> … I see.  ::depressed sounding XD:: Would it be alright… for me to attend?
<Tansy_B> This is serious magic spell… serious serious… designed to recall a soul…
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Recall a soul? Wait, so . . . so Mark *knew* he was going to die?
<Joseph_Forge> Of course.  Mark would have wanted it.
<Tansy_B> I do not know… perhaps he is psychic?
<Tansy_B> <Josie> Alright.  Thank you… for the call.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I doubt it, he’s never prepared for anything like this before, even when we could’ve used it plenty of times.
<Joseph_Forge> You’re welcome.  Just…do Mark one last favor?
<Tansy_B> … lets go back to the Bureau… I want to look at this closer.
<Tansy_B> <Josie> What’s that?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::nods:: Sounds good to me. ::offers her hand::
<Tansy_B> ::flies down and takes::
<Joseph_Forge> No more expansion ideas. No more better budgets…just leave the bureau as it is. If we need more, we’ll ask.  Otherwise, as long as we’re doing our jobs, then leave us alone.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::and, will teleport them back to the Bureau::
<Tansy_B> ::quiet a few moments then:: … fine.  Have it your way.  I don’t care anymore. ::says defeated and tired like. hangs up on him XD::
<Tansy_B> ::fwooshes to proper required height XD:: To the conference room. ::leading way::
<Joseph_Forge> :;sighs, hanging up as well:: Good..::said to himself::
<Tansy_B> ((Er first was JOsie up thar ))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::mun was wondering about that!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::follows::
<Tansy_B> ((lol!))
<Tansy_B> LEt me see the page, and the note? ::Joe can hear Tansy say as they go past where he is to conference room::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Sure. ::hands it to her::
<Tansy_B> ::goes inside and takes it and the note. looking it over. turns it on back:: The back of this page is the beginning of another chapter… so… ::flips page back over:: This must be what he had in mind..
