<Tansy_B> ::yaaaaay so iiiis somewhere! maybe? Bureau wherever.::
<Tansy_B> ::making… smoothies! to cheer up Angela yes. ^_^::
<Angela_Daniels> ::mawww! so long as she doesn’t go all Evil demon on her again. LOL!::
* Sagey is now known as Trina_Korat
<Trina_Korat> ::heard enough! Is gonna go check on Angie::
<Tansy_B> ::she hopes she won’t! -g- knocks on Mark’s office door if that where she still be::
<Angela_Daniels> ::LOL! I should go rar more often!::
<Angela_Daniels> ::yep! has pretty well locked herself in there:: Who is it?
<Tansy_B> It’s Tansy.  May I come in?
<Angela_Daniels> :;sighs:: Yes, you may.
<Tansy_B> ::opens door and goes inside, holding up a large clear glass with colorful liquid in and whipped cream on top with straw in it. smiling:: I’ve made something to hopefully cheer you up, and get something in you to make sure you’re eating. ::sets it on desk near her::
<Trina_Korat> ((::now playing with that Sailor Moon generator… after spending part of the afternoon reading the Sailor Moon manga online. Wonders if this is what caused her headache? Then again, the manga wasn’t as crack inducing as much of the anime was (or what she saw of the anime anyway. XD)::))
<Angela_Daniels> ::small smile:: Thanks.  ::was sitting at his desk again, wrapped in one of his jackets to keep warm:: You feeling better?
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Trina_Korat> :knocks on the door once she gets there:: Knock, knock…?
<Tansy_B> ((LOL!))
<Angela_Daniels> ::looks over as Trina comes in and laughs some:: is this “visit Angie” day or something?
<Trina_Korat> No, it’s “make sure Angie is alright” day.
<Tansy_B> I suppose… though I will not be visiting any zoo’s anymore. ::looks over to Trina and smiles::
<Trina_Korat> ((::points to Fel, mocks shakes her fist at you!:: This was all you! Putting that link your LJ! ::shakes fist and stuff!:: @_@ ))
<Tansy_B> ((mwhahahaha!))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs, sits:: How’re you holding on?
<Tansy_B> ((This mean I shouldn’t post the MLP generator and my chara ponies now? XD))
<Angela_Daniels> ::laughs some:: Do I even want to know? ::then to Trina:: I’m…here.
<Tansy_B> Has anyone heard from… the fake one again?
<Angela_Daniels> I haven’t.
<Trina_Korat> ((Too late for that. I found the entire website. XD http://dolldivine.com/ The “Clockwork Couture” one is my favorite))
<Trina_Korat> ::shakes her head:: Nothing.
<Tansy_B> ((bwhahaha))
<Trina_Korat> ((They’re just so addictive!))
<Tansy_B> Spinner is still imprisoned in holding.  I’m not allowed to feed him because I want to spit in his alphabet soup. ::grumps::
<Angela_Daniels> I’d say there’s several of us that wouldn’t mind doing that.
<Trina_Korat> Anything he gets is too good for him. ::arms crossed::
<Angela_Daniels> Tell me about it.
<Tansy_B> So… what are we to do… about all of this? ::looks at Trina::
<Angela_Daniels> I do know one thing…if we can just get our mark’s soul back where it belongs…thats it.  We won’t attempt again to bring him back.
<Tansy_B> Does anyone know where the Tome of Time is?  I was thinking… perhaps there is a reversal spell in it or something…
<Trina_Korat> ::still thinking:: Unfortunately, that deal he made with Swytch is what’s the issue. He kills Spinner, he goes to ROF. he doesn’t, then his “evil” self stays.
<Trina_Korat> Mark had it last I checked.
<Angela_Daniels> I’d rather not mess with anymore magic.  that’s caused enough problems…
<Tansy_B> Is it true Lyons is helping him?
<Angela_Daniels> Yeah.  When I left the apartment she was with him.  Thats why I’m hold up here on the couch.  He just showed up in the apartment and she showed up too. I don’t want to stay there by myself now.
<Tansy_B> Why was he there? Did he say?
<Angela_Daniels> I think he was wanting to know why we did it and what was going on. To harass me as well.
<Trina_Korat> Why would she wanna help him?
<Angela_Daniels> ;;will pick up the shake that Tansy brought and sip on it some. she was right. hasn’t been eating right since Mark’s death::
* LadyStormcrow has joined
<LadyStormcrow> ((Hey guys!))
<Tansy_B> ((Hey LS!))
* Tansy_B sets mode: +o LadyStormcrow
<Angela_Daniels> I don’t know.  He apparently liked her counterpart in his evil little world and the difference is this Josie will go along with him.
<Angela_Daniels> ((hey!))
<Tansy_B> ((the three be in Mark’s office))
* LadyStormcrow is now known as Stormcrow_Selkirk
<Tansy_B> ::frowns:: … you think she’ll use this to harm the MBI?
<Trina_Korat> ((Hey LS!))
<Angela_Daniels> Oh I have no doubt.
<Trina_Korat> Great… ::rubs at her eyes:: If he’s willing to go with the changes she wanted… of course, he’s not the director right now. Joe is.
<Tansy_B> He cannot resume the position then? ::hopeful look::
<Trina_Korat> He’s “dead”, remember.
<Tansy_B> ::nods at that::
<Angela_Daniels> Right. So nobody will believe he’s the real Mark and he will have no authority until joe releases his hold on the position to him.
<Tansy_B> <Felina> ::pulls up outside the MBI in squad car and parks. exits and heads up the steps and into the MBI’s lobby. Storm at the desk?::
* Kutlass has joined
<Angela_Daniels> ((Hey Kutlass!))
<Kutlass> ((::disco’s in:: Heya peops! Sorry for tardiness!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((Lo!))
<Angela_Daniels> ((no exuse! you are tardy! go to detention!))
<Tansy_B> ((hey Kutlass!))
* Tansy_B sets mode: +o Kutlass
<Tansy_B> <Felina> ::anyone at the front desk todayeee?::
<Trina_Korat> ((Kutlass!))
<Kutlass> ((::puts on dunce hat, conga’s to detention::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::can be me, if that’s okay::
<Trina_Korat> Exactly.
<Trina_Korat> ((:dies!::))
* Kutlass is now known as Shade_Ringo
<Tansy_B> <Felina> ::sure!:: Excuse me, may I speak to Captain Forge or Korat?
<Angela_Daniels> ::rubs at her eyes:: I just want all this to be over with so we can move on.
<Tansy_B> ((er make that Director Forge^))
<Shade_Ringo> ::is this another day (of our lives)?::
<Tansy_B> It’ll be okay, Angie. ::gives her lil’ hug maw::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::are either of said chappies in right now?::
<Tansy_B> ((LOL! yes -g- our nine lives -g-))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::is on his way there!;:
<Trina_Korat> ((No, no. It’s “As the Fur Flies.”))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::can be unless Trina mun wants it!::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiies!::)
<Angela_Daniels> ::mawww returns the hug, starting tocry! yeaaaah is emo still::
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::i’ll fight you for it!::
<Trina_Korat> ::stands and rests a hand on her shoulder;:
<Tansy_B> ::pats her back like “there there” lol::
<Shade_Ringo> ::grood. good and great XD. is outside working on the MBI squad car, trying to find out why fire comes out the tailpipe when the fuel light blinks on::
<Trina_Korat> ((::DIES, SHADE!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::straightens up:: I think Director Forge is. Just let me check. ::uses intercom or such?::
<Trina_Korat> ::let Joe get it. XD::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::nope! you wanted it!::
<Angela_Daniels> ::sniffles and wipes at her eyes some:: Thanks.  sorry about that.
<Trina_Korat> ::TAG! YOU’RE IT!:: ((<Stormcrow> ONE OF YOU GET IT BEFORE I SET YOU BOTH ON FIRE! <Felina> O.O; ::sloooooowly walks out::))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::fiiiiiiine. ;P!!!!! will answer STorm:: yes?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dies::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIIIES!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((LOL))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Director, Lieutenant Feral’s here to see you. ::recognizes Felina from various past things::
<Trina_Korat> ((<Felina< Uncle, I don’t think we should mess with the Megs anymore. I think they’re controlling the elements now. <Feral> …. No more anime for you. ))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> Send her in then.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL!))
<Tansy_B> ((::dead!::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!))
<Shade_Ringo> ::tinker tinker. bang bang. rah rah. ga-ga. XD mun stupid::
<Trina_Korat> It’s gonna be okay, Ange. I promise. We’ll figure something out::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> All right then. ::turns off intercom:: Shall I show you to his office?
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::arrives there, then blinks at Shade:: Uh… Ringo?
<Tansy_B> ((<Ringo> ::starts belting out Lady GaGa songs:: <agents> ::hope his squad car explodes on him::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Tansy_B> <Felina> ::nods:: Please. ::motions for her to do so::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::gets up and will do so, then!::
<Shade_Ringo> ::thud!:: Ooh.. that you, Korat? ::slowly sliding out::
<Angela_Daniels> I hope you’re right.
<Tansy_B> It’s alright. ::lets her go:: I think I’ll get to preparing another batch of smoothies. ::heads on out to breakroom kitchen::
* Tansy_B is now known as Felina
<Angela_Daniels> ::watching her go then looks to Trina:: She’s sweet.  ::sips on her smoothie from earlier::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::yesh waiting in his ooooffice!::
<Felina> ((<Joe> oof! ::keeps tripping::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Tans> ::considering a part time gig at Dairy Queen, with all the smoothies she makes…::))
<Felina> ((LOL!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::knocks on the office door:: Director, Lieutenant Feral’s here.
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIIIES!::))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::looks up from what he was doing:: come on in.
<Felina> ::followed her down the donut brick road- er hallways to Joe’s. :: Thank you. ::says to Stormcrow and goes on inside:: Director Forge. ::nods to him::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::with that done, heads back to the front desk::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::stands to salute:: Leiutenant.  what brings you here?
<Trina_Korat> ((::comes back, DIES, LADY GAGA SONGS!::))
<Trina_Korat> ::smiles:: Yeah, she is.
<Shade_Ringo> ::having slid out from under the hulking, metal beast that is the squad car, rubs at his forehead where he hit it. smears some grease there::
<Felina> There is a serious matter that has come to my attention… ::shuts door and takes a seat:: in regards to the late Director Sulfur.
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> I was gonna say the car was on fire, but it died out now…
<Angela_Daniels>  ::looks over to Trina:: do you really think we can fix all of this?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> Oh? what is it? ::Sits::
<Trina_Korat> Ange, I gave my soul so my husband could get his back, so yes, there IS a way to fix this. However, it doesn’t mean I’m giving YOU the same alternative. Mark would never forgive you if that were the case.
<Felina> We got a visit from Governor Lyons who brought in evidence suggesting that Sulfur is alive.
<Shade_Ringo> Oh good! Means that little problem’s fixed. ::grunts some, getting up:: What’s up, kat?
<Angela_Daniels>  :;blinks:: you gave your soul? I don’t..understand…
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::Frowns:: I assure you he’s not.  I was a pallbearer and watched them put him in the ground.  He’s gone, Leiutenant.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> ::has a whole bunch of random, “URGENT” labeled post-its on his desk he hasn’t read yet::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((LOL!))
<Felina> A recording of a conversation had between the Governor and agent Elizabeth Selkirk makes us suspect otherwise.  We believe it to be authentic and occurring at the date she claims.
<Trina_Korat> ::sighs:: A few years back, I’d learned that Joe had struck a deal with Swytch, way before we’d met, and way before he joined the Bureau. Swytch held on to that and came to pay a visit later on. Joe and I’d been married maybe a few months, and because of his wedding vow, I gained ownership of his soul, and him mine. I can’t remember much of what happened, but somehow that little agreement became null and void. Back then, tho’, Swyt
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> Nothing so far. ::looks like he hasn’t slept:: Anything happen here?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> what…recording?
<Felina> ((Back then tho’, Swyt-?))
<Angela_Daniels> ((Back then, tho’ Swyt…?))
<Trina_Korat>  Back then, tho’, Swytch was desperate to collect souls since I believe her powers were dissipating.
<Felina> ::pulls out a disc, handing it to him::
<Felina> A copy of the conversation in full.
<Angela_Daniels> I see…well…I…had Mark’s soul..and managed to lose it, it seems.
<Trina_Korat> Maybe he had to swear it vocally.
<Shade_Ringo> Uh, well, yeeeah. Quite a bit actually. I take it you know about Mark, right?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::Frowning some, taking the disk and leans over to put it in his computer, turnig it on to listen::
<Angela_Daniels> I don’t know…I still managed to screw up and lose it.
<Trina_Korat> Okay, for the last time, stop blaming yourself, for goodness’ sake.
<Angela_Daniels> Well it *is* my fault!  :;sighs;: If I hadn’t been selfish I would have left him to rest like i should have.
<Trina_Korat> ((<Disk> <Steele> ::voice:: Okay, uh… testing… testing… one two three… DON’T YOU REMEMBER YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME BABEEEEHHHHH!!!” <Joe> …. <Felina> ::blush:: Oh. Wrong disk. Here. ::hands him the real one and takes the other:: Uh… blackmail material. ))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::DEAD::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!::))
<Trina_Korat> You were fulfilling his wish, Angie.
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> I was there to witness it, so yeah. :rubs at his eyes:: He show up?
<Angela_Daniels> still…::pulling his jacket up tighter:: I miss him, Trina.  I can’t believe he’s gone…
<Felina> <disc> ::has file on it that plays:: <Storm> Megakat Bureau of Investigation. <Josie> Selkirk… I suppose I have you to thank for the mess you’ve made in regards to Sulfur. <Storm> ::growls:: What are you talking about? <Josie> I know he’s alive again. <Storm> May I ask how you came by that information? <Josie> I saw him at his apartment.  Doctor Daniels was there… what she hasn’t ran crying to you because this isn’t what she wanted? (more)
<Felina> <Storm> Look, *governor*, we’re still gathering the details. If anything comes up that should seriously concern you, we’ll let you know. <Josie> What concerns me is that the MBI is dabbling in the occult, not to mention has lied about the death of its Director. <Storm> You want the truth? Sulfur planned this thing himself. None of us found out until after he was dead, and believe me, I wish we’d left it at that. <Josie> Then why didn’t you? ::curt angry tone::
<Felina> <Storm> ::sounding angry and pained herself:: Because he’s my boss. I felt I had to follow his orders. <Josie> You still following his orders? <Storm> No, not exactly. He hasn’t resumed duty yet. <Josie> So he isn’t there? <Josie> No. Why, did you want to talk to him? <Josie> ::chuckles a bit:: No… not right now.  I think I’ve gotten all I need from you. <Storm> . . . Very well then.
<Felina> <disc> ::hang up noise heard, file ends::
<Shade_Ringo> No, not here. But, ah, we do have the kat he’s lookin’ for.. Spinner.
<Angela_Daniels> <JOe>::frowing more hearing all of this:: well…::thinking it through then looks at Felina:: We’ve had problems with Lyons in the past you know. In fact..we were having problems with her when Mark was killed. Who’s to say this isn’t a fabricated disk?
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::eyes wide:: Tell me you haven’t hung him by his boxers yet. :evil grin::
<Trina_Korat> ::sits next to her and wraps an arm around her: I know.
<Felina> She gave us her cellphone… which had this conversation recorded on it.  Dated.  Techs looked into it and feel it is authentic.
<Angela_Daniels> ::leans in against her:: I don’t even know where to begin….
<Trina_Korat> You start by not dwelling on it so much. If our Mark is still here, then he’s trying to get back.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> she’s the governer….she can fabricate evidence as she please. Probably good enough that your techs couldn’t ID a fake.  I’m telling you…our Mark is gone.
<Shade_Ringo> No, some of us might eventually try, tho’.  I just don’t know how long we can keep him here, and out of Mark’s sights, before we can fix everything thing.
<Shade_Ringo> ((-thing))
<Angela_Daniels> ::nods:: what if we can’t fix all of this though?  We can’t let him just keep running around destroying our Mark’s reputation.
<Felina> Why would the governor lie about something like that and go through the trouble of it?  I’m not taking anyone’s side, I’m just investigating the matter.  It comes across as very strange… the occult? Sulfur behind his own death?  Frankly I’m not sure what to make of it.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Mark> BINGO! <Elderly> No! We never called B-7. I don’t understand, you usually clean up on Bingo Night at the home!))
<Trina_Korat> ((::DEAD!!::))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::leans agianst the car: I’ve got dibs, then.
<Trina_Korat> ::softly:: I know.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> well..to be honest….I think she’s hurt.  She and Sulfur were close at one time befoer they split up.  Her relation with this bureau has always been rocky.  I worry she may be in shock and mourning but also blaming us for it and this is how she wants to deal with it.
<Angela_Daniels> :small smile:: maybe we should have went on that Scotland vacation he wanted to go on after all.
<Felina> There is something else… ::pulls out an envelope handing it to him:: <envelope> ::contains phone call records to and from the MBI.  the day and time Storm talked to Josie is circled:: <Felina> These phone records indicate that the MBI recieved a call from the Governor’s cell phone… the call lasting as long as this conversation. ::eying Joe suspiciously:: She fake that too?
<Trina_Korat> Vacation?
<Shade_Ringo> ::rubs hands with a rag:: How long you think we can keep Spinner here? I mean, it’s not gonna’ take the other Mark that long to figure out we’ve got him.
<Angela_Daniels> <joe> Its possible.  I mean…I don’t monitor all of our phone calls to and from this bureau.  She could have called and talked someone’s voicemail for that long for all I know.
<Angela_Daniels> Yeah.  He’s always wanted to go back to Scotland. Go on vacation and all.  We’d talked about going sometime soon.
<Felina> So then, you are denying this to be true and claiming falsified evidence and tampered phone records?
<Trina_Korat> That vacation was long overdue for him.
<Angela_Daniels> Yeah it was. For both of us.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> I’m not claiming or denying a thing, Lieutenant.  All I”m saying is I have no knowledge or proof that any of this transpired and considering, as I said, i helped to bury Director Sulfur…I just find it hard to believe he’s up walking aorund.
<Felina> Then I’d like to speak with Agent Selkirk. ::stands::
<Felina> Privately.
<Angela_Daniels> Fine. I’ll go find her.  If you’d like you can stay here and use my office.
<Felina> I’d prefer you to call her in here.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> I’ve got it wired!!))
* @Angela_Daniels Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
* Angela_Daniels has joined
<Felina> I’d prefer you to call her in here.
<Trina_Korat> ((<Joe> ::SHOT!:: X_X <Felina> I said, I’ll talk to her PRIVATELY. ::blows smoke out of her gun:))
<Angela_Daniels> ((ugh…got booted))
* Felina sets mode: +o Angela_Daniels
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!!))
<Felina> ((LOL))

<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((wb!))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((TY!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Felina> Not fast enough! ::boots again:: <Joe> Gyah! ::reset by peer!::))
<Felina> ((<Josie> ::paid the peer::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::Diiies!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((<Joe> AUGH! THE PEER PRESSURE!))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Agent Peer> ::undercover for the Enforcers at MBI. connections specialist::))
<Trina_Korat> ((:dies!!!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dying all!::))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> As long as we have to. I’m hoping we can think of a way to trap him.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::is thus called:: Selkirk here.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> Selkirk, Lieutenant Feral would like to speak to you. Would you please come to my office.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I’ll be right there, sir. ::not realizing anything’s amiss, or more amiss than usual, heads in!::
<Shade_Ringo> Mark, you mean? Yeah, but the problem there is that even if we get him… he can hold his own self hostage. He could stop eating, stop breathing to hold leverage over us. It’s just a no-win situation right now.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> she’s coming. ::stands to leave when she gets there::
<Felina> ::nods and waits. goes around to Joe’s desk at the computer, still standing::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::arrives!:: You wanted to speak to me?
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> True. That’s IF he’s willing to do that. The only reason his darker soul is around is for revenge.
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> At least… I think it is.
<Angela_Daniels> ::motions to Felina and steps out, hoping Selkirk keeps her mouth shut!::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> ::whispers as he passes LS:: Mark “all the above” on the bubble sheet no matter what. <LS> ..? ))
<Felina> Yes. Please have a seat a moment, Agent.
<Felina> ((LOL!))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::does so, uneasy now::
<Shade_Ringo> Whatever it is, it can’t be for the betterment of katkind. ::tosses rag onto hood:: And I don’t think we’ll be getting much help from Swytch. She showed up yesterday, via Tansy-phone, and pretty much gloated how all this worked in her favor.
<Felina> I’m going to play something for you.  ::plays the file again… watching her for a reaction:: <file> ::phone convo plays again::
<Angela_Daniels> ::goes back to drinking her smoothy. glad for something to eat::
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Felina> I’m gonna’ play something for you. ::pulls out fiddle:: <LS> ::braces self for the worst::))
<Felina> ((::dies::))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiies!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL))
<Felina> ((<Felina> ::sings out Cotten Eyed Joe, playing the fiddle parts:: So, think this will get me to Hollywood on American Idol? <Storm> ::queasy look::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dies::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::listens quietly, trying to think fast of what she can say to this, or what her bosses would want::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Shade_Ringo> ((<LS> Frankly, ma’am.. I think it could get you shot. And not just one time. <Felina> Hater.))
<Felina> ::pauses the file:: Can you identify for me the two voices in this conversation?
<Trina_Korat> ((DEAD!!))
<Felina> ((::snorks!::))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> What exactly did she say?
<Trina_Korat> Have you eaten at all, Ange?
<Angela_Daniels> Well….does this count? ::holding up the smoothie she is drinking::
<Shade_Ringo> First she rubbed it in how stupid it was to try and bring him back, blah-de-blah, then looked at the incantation itself. Said it was way too complicated to be in our league. Then, we went back and forth, Ms. Daniels got real upset, and then Swytch pretty much said she didn’t have to help us at all.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Well, I recognize Governor Lyons’s. She used my name, so I guess the other one is me, but I wouldn’t have recognized it. ::shrugs, tries to smile:: You know how your own voice always sounds weird when you hear it recorded?
<Shade_Ringo> Thing is, she wasn’t even sure if she could fix things. It’d be real complicated.
<Trina_Korat> No, not really.
<Felina> So you’re telling me you never had this conversation? ::eyes narrowed looking at her::
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> Wonderful.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<LS> I’m telling you I’ve not never had ever never had this conversation. Positively, negatorilly, yes.))
<Angela_Daniels> er..well..no..not really. Not in a couple of days. Though I did raid Mark’s stash of breakfast bars last night.  He ahd a couple in here.
<Felina> ((::snorks!::))
<Trina_Korat> :hand to face, then stands:: C’mon.
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiiies!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::now is worried:: . . . I think you’d better tell me more what this is about, Lieutenant.
<Felina> Answer the question, Agent Selkirk.  Please.
<Angela_Daniels> What? Where are we going?
<Trina_Korat> To my place. You’re getting a shower and a good meal.
<Shade_Ringo> Yeah. So.. we may be looking at an irreversible scenario here. But, Selkirk thought of a “higher authority” we might be able to ask for help. The Council of Magic.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::finally sighs:: All right. Yes, we did talk yesterday.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Trina> I know what Mark stashes in here for food, and strawberry moonpies is not sustenance!))
<Angela_Daniels> Katrina..you don’t ahve to do that…I’m fine really.  I got a shower in the locker rooms yesterday.  I can order something from teh diner next door…
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Trina_Korat> ((::dies!::))
<Felina> ((LOL!))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> Coucil of Magic…?
<Trina_Korat> ::points to the door:: March, Angela Daniels.
<Felina> Then can you explain to me… what did Director Sulfur “plan” exactly?
<Felina> ((<Angie> You ain’t the boss of me!))
<Angela_Daniels> ::shakes head:: Mark always said you were stubborn. ::soft smile. gets up and will gather up her stuff.  Snuck out long enough to go buy a couple new pairs of clothes. didn’t dare go back to her and Mark’s place.::
<Trina_Korat> Darn straight. ::goes after her::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::Diiiies!::))
<Angela_Daniels> ::carries her stuff and follows Trina::  Thanks. Really.  You guys have been great to me since this happened.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::trying to think fast:: Actually, I really just said that to make Lyons stop accusing us. ::sighs, looks embarrassed:: I know it wasn’t a professional or mature thing to do, but she and I have a lot of bad history, and she gets under my skin.
<Felina> Sulfur isn’t alive then?  This isn’t a stunt he’s pulling or… heaven forbid, he really has been revived from the dead? ::hey in THIS city, anything’s possible XD::
<Trina_Korat> You’re family, so think nothing of it.
<Angela_Daniels> ::smiles some:: Thanks.
<Shade_Ringo> That’s what she said. I don’t know anything about ‘em, but she thinks they might be able to help. But.. we gotta’ get in touch with ‘em first.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::firmly this time:: No, he’s not alive. <Well, okay, that’s not quite true, but it’s not *him*.> But something weird *is* going on that has to do with him, and I think Lyons might be involved somehow. Director Forge or Captain Korat would know more about it than I would, though.

<Trina_Korat> <Jason> How do we do that?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> ::gee…thanks…-_- ::
<Felina> Director Forge suggested this conversation was fabricated and the phone records possibly tampered with by the Govenor as a way of her coping or lashing out at the Bureau.
<Shade_Ringo> ::chuckles:: Get this. We need the portal that’s gone missing. What a crack of luck, huh?
<Felina> ((<Storm> ::happily passing the buck! XD::))
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> ::throws his arms up::
<Angela_Daniels> ::assuming they get into Trina’s vehicle, will buckle up!::
<Trina_Korat> ::drives them off:: Besides, Cale would love to see his Aunt Angie again.
<Angela_Daniels> ::laughs:: I haven’t seen him in a while.  And Katie?
<Trina_Korat> The same. ::chuckles:: Mom’s taking care of them right now.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::blinks, doesn’t get why Joe would go *that* far. Doesn’t think they can or should keep the Enforcers out of the loop completely.:: Well, like I said, we did talk. But I hadn’t told Director Forge about the call, so I can see why he might assume it. It would be like Lyons to do something like that.
<Angela_Daniels> ::nods:: that’ll give me a chance to shower and such.
<Felina> I see. In the future, may I suggest you not play with fire… in the figurative sense that is. ::winks and takes up the envelope and ejects the disc from Joe’s computer.:: Thank you for your time.  I’ll see myself out.
<Trina_Korat> Please do that. I’ll cook us a good meal when we get there.
<Shade_Ringo> I know. Everything’s just perfectly wrong. ::noting his sleepless look:: You, uh, been getting any rest from this, Cap’n?
<Angela_Daniels> Thanks.  don’t go too too much trouble though. Really.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::small embarrassed smile:: All right. Take care then, and we will let you know if anything serious comes up.
<Felina> ::nods, exiting Joe’s office and soon the MBI.  getting in her squad car and heading on off::
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>:;saw her leaving as he was coming back with coffee. steps in to see if Selkirk is still there::
<Trina_Korat> <Jason> What is this “sleep” you speak of?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::yep, is still there:: Is she gone?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> Yeah.  You alright?
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> Yeah.. what’s with all the broken fiddles. <LS> ::shivers:: I don’t wanna’ talk about it.))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe>::going to sit down and sip his coffee::
<Angela_Daniels> ((::DIIIES!:))
<Felina> ((::busts up!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Yeah, I’m fine. ::adjusting her hair with a claw:: Why did you tell her the whole conversation was fake?
<Trina_Korat> ((::DEAD!::))
<Shade_Ringo> Wrong answer, Korat. Paw dang, you can’t keep running on fumes.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> Josie’s voice sounded too chipper. <LS> Yeah, that threw me too.))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL!))
<Felina> ((LOL!))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> because we don’t want the enforcers in on this mess.  Its the last thing we need.
* Trina_Korat is now known as Jason_Korat
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I can understand that, but we might not be able to hide *everything* from them. We should at least have some kind of cover story.
<Jason_Korat> I know. But everytime I’m ready to get some sleep, it doesn’t happen.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> well considering I didn’t have any knowledge of this conversation…::Firm look at her:: Then I had to think on the fly.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::sigh:: Point taken, and that’s what I told Lt. Feral – the conversation took place, but you didn’t know about it. I didn’t give anything else away.
<Shade_Ringo> I got a sure-cure for that. It’s called “Late Night with Delilah.” Geesh, that she-kats voice could lullabye me to sleep in the middle of a warzone.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> alright. I think its best we don’t talk to anyone about this outside the bureau, wether they have knowldege or not.  Lets keep what we know and do on this mission strictly among those of us who are involved in this, alright?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> If anyone comes up wanting to talk about it then tell myself or Captain Korat.  I wanna keep a lid on all of this as best we can.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::nods:: Agreed. I’ll do that, sir.
<Jason_Korat> “Delilah?” Isn’t she the she-kat that puts on every love song known to kat-kind after listening to some sob story about “romance” or how some teenager found the “love of their life”?
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> Alright, thank you. sorry you got brought into that.
<Shade_Ringo> ((<Joe> Now, lets just flip on the TV and let all our cares slip a-WHAA? <Evil Mark> ::ala Ferris Buehler, on top of a parade float leading a dance number::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::headshakes:: It’s all right. The next time anyone asks about this case, I’ll let you know right away. ::starts to head out::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL!))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::Diiiiies!::))
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> alright. Thanks.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> You’re welcome. ::heads for the breakroom to get a comfort soda::
<Shade_Ringo> Yeah! Aw kats, that stuff puts me out.

<Jason_Korat> Might as well since nothing else seems to be working. Tho’ some of her songs seem to be a little weird lately.

<Shade_Ringo> What do you mean? You think “Bad Romance” isn’t in good taste?
<Jason_Korat> :arches a brow::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Nice! ::then pauses at that:: Oh dear. Can you maybe get some canned pineapple? ::actually likes that better than the fresh kind::
<Angela_Daniels> ::will get out when they get there! getting her stuff out and will head inside with Trina:: you guys always have had such a nice home.  I love it out here.
<Shade_Ringo> ::said seriously, then laughs, punching his shoulder:: C’mon. While you’re awake, might as well pump more coffee into ya’. And I gotta’ get this grease off me.
<Jason_Korat> Coffee’d help, yeah… ::pushes himself away from the car::
<Tansy_B> ::makes a face:: I do not like the canned foods… it tastes… metal.
<Jason_Korat> <Trina> You need to come visit more often. ::grins::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Well, just save the fresh one for yourself, then. Most kats don’t care.
<Angela_Daniels> I will..I will…::laughs:: Once things settle down I guess I’ll get that private practice up and running and fully leave the ER. THings should settle down some then.
<Tansy_B> Oh no I couldn’t!  I care!  I want these to taste their best.

<Tansy_B> McGrath? No.  ::goes over to sit with Stormcrow:: Am I supposed to have?
<Angela_Daniels> <JOe>::chuckles:: Good.  and thats fine hon.  Take good care of her. She needs to get away for a while.
<Shade_Ringo> ((lol!! <Neighbors> Somebody’s poisoned the water hole!! <Trina> I think we’ll have to move too, hon.))
<Tansy_B> <Felina> … mind shutting the door and having a seat for a bit?

<Trina_Korat> :Smiles:: Will do. Grilled steak for dinner sound good?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> No, I was just curious. ::sips:: I really want us to get the portal back as soon as possible – I had an idea for how we could use it.
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> sounds wonderful.  May be late though.  Dealing with something here. So just keep it warm if I am.
<Tansy_B> ((::dead!::))
<Shade_Ringo> <Fletch> ::slowly turns and shuts the door, before sitting in front of the desk::
<Trina_Korat> Will do.
<Tansy_B> Oh? Please tell me!  Everyone seems at a loss of what to do… as am I.
<Tansy_B> <Felony> ::sits down and looks at him:: Did you know Govenor Lyons when she was an agent there?
<Tansy_B> <FELINA>^
* Tansy_B is now known as Felina
<Angela_Daniels> <Joe> see you in a bit.
<Felina> ((Dang FEL names X_x))
<Shade_Ringo> ((XD!! <Fletch> ::sometimes, wonders who he’s *really* working for..::))
* Shade_Ringo is now known as Fletch_Ryder
<Felina> ((LOL!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Well, it’s kind of extreme, but I thought maybe we could go back to the magic realm and talk to the Council of Magic. Not ask them to *do* anything – this is our problem and they probably wouldn’t anyway – but just get their advice.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::pauses before answering:: Yes, ma’am.
<Trina_Korat> ((Admit it. Felina’s really tied up in the basement. That’s really Felony inna wig. XD))
<Angela_Daniels> ((::diiiies!::))
<Trina_Korat> ALright. Later.
<Felina> <Tansy> … hmmm… perhaps they may handle it for us?  Correct the wrong that was done?  This would most likely fall under Tien’s specialty.

<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((Nights!))
<Felina> Did she get along with the other agents?
* @Angela_Daniels Quit (Quit: Jose Jalapeno! On a steeeeeeeeeek!)
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> And hey, if they handle it for us, great. But I don’t think we shouldn’t ask them to do that straight up.
<Trina_Korat> ((On that note, I think I’ll hit the hay, too. Headache’s slowly starting to come back. -_-; ::hugs:: G’night, yous guys!))
<Felina> Problem is of how to get there… with the portal thingy gone and the Tome of Time hidden somewhere, we have no access.
<Felina> ((nights Sage!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((G’night, Sagey!))
* @Trina_Korat Quit (Quit: )
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::that supposed to be Tansy up there?::
<Felina> ((YES good LAWD ))
<Felina> ((lol my mun keeps showing))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Yeah, exactly. Hence why I was hoping you’d heard from McGrath. He did seem to know something.
<Fletch_Ryder> We got along fine. But her relationship with some of the other agents wasn’t as congenial. I’m sorry, may I ask what this has to do with the case?
<Felina> <Tansy> Something about what exactly? ::sluuuurp!::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> I don’t know. I just know when I told him about the portal being missing, he went right out to search for it, so he must have had some idea where to start looking. ::shrugs:: But, I don’t know how his mind works.
<Felina> … ::pondering on trusting him or not but… he is helping in this case already…:: She came by HQ earlier.  I spoke with the Governor and she gave me her cell phone explaining that saved in there was a conversation she recorded with another agent.  It was… bizarre to say the least… they discussed the late Director Sulfur’s living status… Governor saying he was alive, first the agent denied it but then seemed to turn to agreeing with her, that there is some plan involved…
<Felina> <Tansy> ::grins:: Who does? ::leans back after finishing her smoothie:: Any idea of who it could be?
<Fletch_Ryder> ::sits there, listening, jaw set:: That does seem peculiar. What do you make of it?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> Not really. It had to be someone with the power to transport it out of here without being noticed, but that doesn’t exactly narrow it down.
<Felina> I don’t know.  Director Forge explained the conversation as fake, the phone records tampered… the Governor’s way of coping with the situation and trying to place blame on the MBI for what happened.  The agent herself claimed she was just messing with the Governor… as she’s been trouble for the Bureau.  That she didn’t tell her superior officer about it.
<Felina> When was the last time you saw it in there?
<Felina> <TANSY>^
<Fletch_Ryder> ((<Fletch> O_o! I swear! I had nothing to do with the donuts disappearance, Lt! I’m a yogurt man!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> When I used to go to the Realm of Fire, a while back.
<Felina> ((:;dies!:: I want to know where that last chocolate custard donut with white frosting and sprinkles went! Everyone knows that is MINE!!))
<Felina> <Tansy> I wonder how long then it has been missing…
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ;:shrugs, drinks more::
<Fletch_Ryder> That seems like pretty erratic behavior.. on both sides. Of course, grieving takes it’s form in many ways we don’t fully comprehend.
<Felina> <Tansy> ::thinking on this… which sometimes is hard for her to do XD::
<Felina> … ::glances at the door behind him then pulls out the disc:: Here… listen to it.  See if you can make any sense out of some of these statments. ::puts in her computer and plays it for him::
<Fletch_Ryder> ::leans forward, resting elbows on his knees, eyes focused on the floor as he listens::
<Felina> <file> ::ends:: <Felina> ::looking at him:: See what I mean by bizarre?
<Felina> Who is Doctor Daniels?  What does she mean by the MBI “dabbling in the occult”?  Why would she claim she saw Sulfur?  Why would the agent say exactly that Sulfur planned his death… and why she wishes they “left it at that” and she said he hadn’t resumed duty “*yet*”… she even asked if the Governor wanted to talk with him… what was she going to do, get someone to do his voice to mess with her further?
<Felina> <Tansy> Is there anyone besides Mark who knows where the Tome is?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> The only ones I can think of who might know are the Korats, and even that I’m not sure of.
<Felina> <Tansy> Then we must question them when we next see them.  There is a spell in the Tome that will allow us to go to the Magic Realm.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> . . . Wait, there *is*?
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ::small groan now, thinking of all the trouble she went to getting Josie to help her operate the portal::
<Felina> <Tansy> ::nods:: Yes.  There is a spell that takes one to the Realm of Fire as well.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::sits back up, his face stern:: I understand your concern with this matter. In truth, there does seem to be more to this than they’re letting on. ::says next part lowly:: And I don’t think Governor Lyons would bring all this to you if she didn’t know more about it, either.
<Felina> It is my suspicion that something has occurred that both parties haven’t shared… whatever it is, it revolves around Sulfur’s death.  You were on good terms with the Govenor… enough you think to where she may talk with you?
<Fletch_Ryder> Talking is one thing. Opening up, is another.
<Fletch_Ryder> But, if she’s looking to drag the MBI into something, I think she’s shown us how willing she is to bring forth information.
<Felina> I see… ::sighs a bit and looks down at the files Fletch gave her:: I would like for you to talk with her while she’s still in the city.  ::writes something down on pad of paper, tearing off top sheet and hands to him:: This is the adress of the hotel she’s staying at.  Security is tight what with Spinner being on the loos still, but you should get through okay enough.  I’ll phone ahead.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::nods, taking slip. stands, salutes, and exits the office::
<Felina> ::watches him go and gets to reviewing those files he submitted::

<Fletch_Ryder> ::eyes Long as he exits, stepping forward at Lyons words:: Thank you. ::takes seat:: I imagine you already know why I’m here.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ::sits again:: Lt. Feral sent you most likely as a follow up interview after reviewing the evidence I wager.  Has she spoken with the MBI yet?
<Fletch_Ryder> She has. And she’s confused. She played back the disc for me, and frankly, even I don’t understand what in paw’s name you all are hiding.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ::wearing one of her stately, crisp skirt suits ‘n tie as well as high heels. crosses one leg over the other:: I’m not hiding anything.  The Bureau is.  Mark Sulfur is not dead.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::freezes at that, face growing stern:: That’s a pretty bold claim.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> I’ve seen him with my own eyes… yesterday… at his apartment he shared with Doctor Daniels.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ::or a few days ago, whichever it was lol RPG time is fickle XD but she gives correct day::
<Fletch_Ryder> Dr. Daniels.. the she-kat he’d been seeing, correct? What were you doing there?
<Da_Guv_Lyons> I felt that I should speak with her… Didn’t want to bother her at Mar- Sulfur’s funeral.  Give my condolences… make sure she was alright before I had to leave for Pawshington.  It was a way for me to have closure I suppose.
<Fletch_Ryder> That sounded sincere.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> It is, I assure you.
<Fletch_Ryder> So who was present at the apartment? What happened after you got there and saw the Director?
<Fletch_Ryder> ::has taken out a small notepad, btw, and a pen. scribbling down some notes. ain’t pink or a panther, but he’s on the case::
<Da_Guv_Lyons> When she opened the door, she said without looking “He’s here.”  I asked who’s here and she looked as if she hadn’t meant to say this to me.  I asked to talk, she said it wasn’t a good time, she refused to tell me who was there and pushed my way inside when I heard a voice… ::narrows eyes at him:: HIS voice.  I know that voice anywhere and sure enough there he was, sitting in a chair all casually.  Of course I was furious… expressed my anger and Dr. Daniels gave me some nutty story that this isn’t Sulfur, but it clearly was.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((expr- ?))
<Da_Guv_Lyons> expressed my anger and Dr. Daniels gave me some nutty story that this isn’t Sulfur, but it clearly was.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::noting all this down:: What was Dr. Daniels’ story?
<Fletch_Ryder> ((<Josie> As I recall, it involved a cat, a hat, and a weird pink ring in a tub.. <Fletch> Fascinating. ::actually doodling on his notepad::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::DIIIIIIIES::))
<Fletch_Ryder> ((<Josie> Then she offered me some teal eggs and ham. They looked a bit off, so I declined. <Fletch> This Doctor must be prescribing some strooong stuff.))
<Da_Guv_Lyons> That they had brought him back from the dead, they being herself and “his friends” ::does quote things:: she said.  But that it wasn’t Mark at all.  Psh… it was clearly him.  I don’t believe this occult weirdness at all.  Is that how they plan on explaining his return?  I think she just failed at a cover story for me busting them… for a doctor she isn’t very bright. ::takes up cup of coffee and has a sip::
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dying!:: <Josie> I’ll say. Then a megalomaniacal turtle and a weird little guy who spoke for the trees showed up, and it just got too strange, so I left.))
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ((::DIIIES!BOTH!::))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((<Josie> Oh, and the less said about the elephant with the dust speck, the better.))
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ((::snorks!!:: <Josie> Especially since… I heard it talk too… >_> ))
<Fletch_Ryder> I see. ::taking a moment to think:: Governor, what reason would the MBI have to fake Sulfur’s death?
<Fletch_Ryder> ((lol!!all))
<Fletch_Ryder> ((<Fletch> Uh huh.. well, looks like I have enough for my next children’s book this week. Keep me posted about, oh, the places you will go.))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL!))
<Da_Guv_Lyons> Who knows.  ::sets cup down:: Perhaps it’s for some… odd mission that’s going on they had to undertake, perhaps it is because I tried to get them to listen to me and accept a larger budget and expand so they would rather I think he’s gone for… who knows!  You know how unorthodox they can be, the story itself is nonsense but they’ve got all the agents scripted I’m sure.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ((LOL <Josie> Oh! There’s one about Mulberry Street!))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((::dead!::))
<Fletch_Ryder> You’re right about their unorthodox methods. That funeral though.. I don’t think you could script what we both saw there. ::eyes fixed:: They thought he was dead.
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((<Fletch> Okay, that’s a start. Oh, by the way, could you use an extra hat? ::holds up a red pointed one with a feather;: There was this kid down the street trying to unload five hundred of the things.))
<Da_Guv_Lyons> They were following orders Sulfur gave them.  It was all a farce!  A hoax!  I thought McGrath was dead before but he wasn’t, same goes for Spinner.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ((LULZ!!))
<Fletch_Ryder> Those two dapple in forces beyond this realm. No one can ever be sure what reality they’re living in. ::flips page:: You know Selkirk’s magical capabilities as well as I do. You don’t think it’s at all possible that she could’ve actually brought him back to life, per orders?
<Da_Guv_Lyons> Then that is even more disturbing than him faking his death, Ryder… don’t you think?  What levels are the MBI sinking to nowadays?
<Fletch_Ryder> It is, admittedly, a disturbing notion, but I have no context for why they would do it. I do know that their motivation would not have been for light reasons.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> They did it because they can!  This is why the MBI needs to be shut down! ::slams fist on table… then blinks and composes herself. clears throat and adjusts tie, closing eyes:: I went to the Enforcers because the MBI needs to be under investigation.  His death was faked, that is illegal.  If he indeed was brought back from the dead, that is … such a violation of nature… of life… ::opens eyes again glaring at him::
<Fletch_Ryder> ::watches her outburst quietly:: They’ll be the next ones I talk with, Governor. So after you discovered it was Sulfur in the room with Dr. Daniels’, how did you proceed? Do you know where he is now?
<Da_Guv_Lyons> They both fled the scene.  I have no idea where he is now.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::notes this:: What prompted your call to the MBI?
<Da_Guv_Lyons> I called them to get some answers, confront them about what I saw, what I was told.  Selkirk denied knowing anything at first… but if you hear the conversation you’ll know they know something, that they know Sulfur IS ALIVE.
<Fletch_Ryder> And you just happened to have a wire-tap handy for that?
<Da_Guv_Lyons> Wasn’t a wiretap, it is a standard function that comes with the brand of cell phone I use.  I wanted something to give to the Enforcers to get them to investigate.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::nods at that:: Furizon?
<Da_Guv_Lyons> Yes.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ((<Fletch> Can you hear me now? <Josie> … uh yes, what are you- <Fletch> THEN LISTEN UP WOMAN AND QUIT BEING SUCH A JERK WAD!!! <Josie> O.O))
<Stormcrow_Selkirk> ((LOL))
<Fletch_Ryder> ((Lol!!))
<Fletch_Ryder> You’ve gotten our attention now. I just hope your ready to play ball with the Megs on this, ’cause it could be a knock-down, drag out.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> Oh… I’m more ready now than I’ve ever been, Ryder… you can cound on that. ::grrr, tail flicks::
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ((count^))
<Fletch_Ryder> That’s all the questions I have for now. ::pulls out wallet, taking out his card and sliding it across the small table:: If Sulfur contacts you, I want to know.
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ::nods taking up the card:: I’ll be certain to contact you should he show himself… ::pockets card and stands::
<Fletch_Ryder> ::stands as well, putting away notepad and pen. starts for the door::
<Da_Guv_Lyons> ::turns, watching him leave:: Be careful Ryder.  Wouldn’t want to see a good Enforcer get harmed by whatever’s going on there.
<Fletch_Ryder> ::reaches for door, looking back over his shoulder:: I don’t think it’s me who has anything to worry about. ::takes his leave::
