Ok weird news, and weirder news.
Robin it seems that whoever is looking for you works for the F.D.A., that is the weird news.
The weirder bit is on closer look they are part of a group in the F.D.A. that is stand alone, and has some of the most major firewalls Harper has ever seen on a government system. He was able to get a peek at their annual budget and they have more money than all of the rest on the F.D.A. combined?
Do I need to say this reeks of major Black Bag ops?
I will tell you more as I get it, watch yourself Robin, it seems you attracted some nasty attention.

Joy...

Robin, I can help protect you from damned near anything. The government is just a little bit over my abilities, though as always, I'll do what I can...

Where are you staying right now? I'm gonna send you some more trinkets... They may not be much, but you never know when they may make just enough of a difference...

I had already been doing some basic stuff to help Robin out, it shouldn't be a problem to amp up the protection. Mostly it has been setting him up in a safe house so far.
Robin have you heard anything more about this girl that looks like your sister, or any other strangeness for that matter?

True, but I was just trying to cover all of the bases there.

Didn't I already say that?

Protection from the gov't? Sounds like my area of expertise.

Yeah, lemme know when you figure that one out...

It is a cover of course. I have done some looking just in case, and I know who they are not. They are not a hold over from either Black Badge, or Greybeard.
However someone is rounding up former assets of both groups. I have been unable to find out who is doing this or why, but to be on the safe side I am going to assume that somehow this is related.
Bert what is the status of that team you were given by Black Badge?

No clue. Last I knew they were in and around Chicago helping out Logos' and Zack's department.

You may want to look into finding them Bert.

They'll be ok.





I'm a little busy currently.

If they weren't involved with anything and kept their nose clean they'll be fine. If they were doing illegal stuff they'll pay for it.

I could tell you where I'm staying, but then I would have to kill you...

No, honestly, let's just say a safehouse out East... shadow apparently has very useful contacts for this sort of thing. It's near my girl though, so if I PM you her address I should be able to get a hold of whatever you're sending. And yes, you I trust with her particulars.

Also, is it just me, or is this "my girl" stuff getting a little dehumanizing? Maybe I should just make up a fake name to refer to by or something?

We're not using "Rhonda" anymore

We understand what you mean. The times I've been in contact with you, you've been too...uh, normal?...around Lex for me to think you're a sexist in even the slightest. You treat her like you treat anyone else, which is something a sexist who knows anything about her would never do.

So don't worry about it. ^_^ I understand, too, if it bugs you, though. I'd suggest a name for her to go by, but I don't wanna accidentally guess her real name. As slim as the chances of that happening seem to be, I've done it before. o_O

My girl is perfectly acceptable, if she says it is.

Considering you are being vauge in an effort to keep her safe, I can't see her having to many problems with it. But that doesn't mean she won't have issues for one reason or another?

The first American I ever met was dating a Polish girl and he called her that all the time. She liked it. Anyway, for opsec use whatever works..

Last thing I want to think about is my little girl dating anyone . . .

You do realize that when she goes to School she is going to attract the attention of the Boys, don't you Ron?

Better plan for it now Ron. A sweetie like Hannah is gonna draw all kinds of boys. Girls too probably

Bert!?! You are not helping.

It better . . . if they lay so much as a finger on her before she's grown up - they are going to get a tour of my inventory.
