Geena, How are things with you in the FBI? Thinking of joining a real force yet? You still seeing that Chet guy? Got to hit the home turf recently, it was not my favorite trip to NYC. Growing up in New York and Spending most of my life in the City (until entering the force), It is normally a happy time for me to return and see the Family. This latest trip however was a nightmare. Already Saddled with the baby-sitting duty in the ex con Hydro I also had the responsibility of Victor Stewart thrust upon me so that he could attend this meeting we came to town for. After several starts and stops I got Ariadne, bit of a weird bird hook up with cousin Sylvia to do the town, maybe teach her a little fashion sense and hopefully show this gal that you can be a strong independent woman and still have a feminine side. Of course we could not have a simple meeting, with the passing of the Keene act and the gathering of a wide number of “paranormals” topics turned to the political. I do not like the undertones that suggest a resistance movement may be in the pre nascent stages of forming. While I can understand where the anger and concern comes from it is not the way. They need to stand up and show the world that they are good people dedicated to protecting innocents from ALL evildoers. A valuable resource. Of course there is so much bad press, and fear still…thinking back to the Olympics….and the confusion being caused by F.O.R.C.E. Anyhow after the bombing of the club, I fulfilled my vow to Hydro for a night on the town with a loose escort. The expression on his face was priceless when he realized that I was good for my word. So needless to say my evening was spent bar hopping from one cliché to another. I must really teach this man what bars the cool people go to. I like the ladies and made several promising starts while shadowing Hydro. I must say I really am concerned about his taste in some women. I do not know if he thinks that I am slow or stupid or something shape changing into a priest? Was that supposed to be templar? And talk about a skanky ho…man I have to talk to that boy. I got to spend some time the next day with ma, pa and the rest of the family, Hydro was kind enough to remain scarce through this (courtesy of another agent holding the bracelet.) Sylvia got on well with Ariadne but I do not think she had my success in either of my hopes. Pa is enjoying his semi retirement and hip seems to be as good as it will ever be again. Aside from my ma trying to hook me up with every breathing female in sight and complaining about grand kids or lack there of it was a relatively calm family meeting. Concern of course exists as there is not just me that has “weird powers” etc. and the stigma that may come form the general Knowledge that me and Vincent and you Geena are “special”. I am glad that the Family supports us and loves us regardless. I have seen to many people like this Hydro character that are ostracized by their family and the results or obvious. While hydro seems to be showing some signs of being reformed etc there are to many rough edges for him still. Had a Talk with Sylvia and told her the full scoop on Hydro, because ma was trying to set the two of them up. I can safely say that he will not be seeing any more of her. Ma of course only knows that I am working with him and not playing guard boy. Anyhow, I got to keep this short, we are heading northward to follow up on a lead that Andrew has on that business with the Justice Machine a while back. Probably a dead end so no worries. You have my contact info while I am based out of coast city; Hey does your friend Julia? Janey? Janet? Still work out of coast city. I should look her up and see how she is doing. Who knows maybe it is time to start thinking about stop playing musical chairs and take a seat. Your loving Cousin Marco (still got promoted to Spec agent before you ;)
