****PRIVATE: Commander Drake
>>>>>[Sir, the arrangements have been made and the necessary
documentation acquired.]<<<<<
-- IPLegal <23:26:26/10-03-56>

>>>>>[Mr. O'Kennedy, aka Valentine, my name is Commander Drake of
Interpol. I have in my possession a court order from the Redmond
District Court, Judge Elva Addison presiding, claiming custody of a one
Arial Borimer, daughter of Lissa Borimer, alias Foxey Roxey. I will
personally be arriving tomorro morning at 8 AM to claim custody of her
and place her in the care of a proper foster family. Pleas have her
ready for me when I arrive.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, Interpol <23:31:10/10-03-56>

>>>>>[Excuse me? Wait a minute here..... You've got a court order
claiming custody of a child who has a mother and has been left in my
care? I am understandably curious as to how you managed this one.]<<<<<
-- Valentine <23:33/54/10-03-56>

>>>>>[It's very simple, Mr. O'Kennedy. Due to the very nature of the
center you run, you cannot provide the necessary care and environment
that a young child such as Arial requires. And with the predominance of
criminal youth in your "Haven", there is a reasonable question as to your
fitness to raise Arial. As you yourself have said, you run a home and
school for abandoned, orphaned, and otherwise disaffected youth. This is
hardly the environment that Arial needs to grow up in. And the criminal
record of her mother instantly makes Ms. Borimer unfit to raise
Arial.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, Interpol <23:39/34/10-03-56>

>>>>>[You FRAGGIN SON_OF_A_SLITCH!!!!!!!!!! You even come fraggin _NEAR_
my daughter and I will bury you so deep in the earth the Chinese will
find you before your ancestors do! (roxey, please calm down) Shut the
frag up, Max! (no. you'll only make things worse this way.) Don't you
fraggin tell me what to do, you fraggin spirit! (and the reverse for you,
roxey. i've heard it said that you use cold anger while hot anger uses
you. please cool down, lest I have to knock you out.)

+++++signal lost+++++ ]<<<<<
-- Foxey Roxey <23:44:11/10-03-56>

>>>>>[When you wake up, Roxey, keep this in mind. Don't you EVEN
threaten me. I have the law to back me up and you forfieted any rights
regarding your children when you chose the life you live. What have
you got behind you? An enemies list, a long line of abandoned squats
and betrayed friends, and a rap sheet that reads like a book. You and
your kind make me ill and I take every "run" you make as a personal
affront to me and all of humanity. You don't deserve your daughter
anymore than a mass murderer deserves leiniency and a stay of
execution.

And to all of you who live by the sword and play fast and easy with the
law, corporate or international: It is only a matter of time before you
do yours, after the piper comes a calling. And guess what? I play the
pipe really well.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, Interpol <23:48:51/10-03-56>

>>>>>[You bloody bastard, Drake. We shall see what tomorrow
brings.]<<<<<
-- Valentine <23:50:40/10-03-56>

>>>>>[Don't fight me on this, Pat. You can't win. Turn her over to me
easily and peacefully and nothing will go wrong. But fight me and the
full weight of Interpol will come down around Haven and rest on your
shoulders. With what I know of your background, I can have you arrested
tonight on complicity, conspiracy, aiding and abetting known felons,
harboring a fugitive, and that's just the blatant crimes. Who knows what
I can come up with if I get creative. And how about all that anonymous
money pouring into Haven all the time? I'm sure that, with a little
work, I can prove some of it at least traces back to organized crime.
And suddenly Haven is a way to launder money. Especially since there is
not a prayer that you can do buisness with squeaky clean sources here in
Seattle. There are none. Is that little girl worth your freedom?
Probably. Your psych profile(surprised we have one? You shouldn't be,
not with all the contacts you have to assassins like THE Nexus, or to
arms dealers, or vampires, or to murderers, or.... well, you get the
picture, I'm sure. As I was saying....) shows you'd be willing to give
up your life for another, and you nearly have once or twice. But is
Haven worth your pride? Are the lives of all "your" children worth the
life of a little girl, especially when we can give her so much more than
you can dream of? If all my threats won't work, then think of Arial's
wellfare instead. She'll grow up in a loving home, recieve a good
education, never be hungry, and go to college and become a productive
member of society. Sure, she might if you raise her. But she _will_ if
you give her to me. But if you don't, I'll destroy you and your
prescious Haven too, and you'll drag all your children and aids and
workers down with you. And I'll still get Arial.

Sleep well, Pat. See you, and Arial, in the morning.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, Interpol <00:11:41/10-04-56>

>>>>>[**whistles** Drake, you sure do know how to make friends and
influence people. Can I follow in your footsteps, canIcanIcanI
please?]<<<<<
-- Action Jackson <00:14:41/10-04-56>

>>>>>[Ahhh, the abomination of the night speaks at last!
+++++Engaging IPtracer+++++

I had you once, I'll have you again. And as an escaped convict as well.
I'm closer to you than you might think, my dear Alex, and your time is
coming due soon.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, Interpol <00:18:41/10-04-56>

>>>>>[Yeah, right. I still have a scar from that laser shot, just for
your knowledge. Some wounds just do not heal well, even with magical
help. And I take it you're based out of Seattle now? I look forward to
seeing you, then. I wonder if I should let myself get...hungry......

Nah, you wouldn't taste too good, what with all that dermal plating. I'm
just not into scales. Sorry to disappoint.

+++++Trace acquired+++++

Oh my, it appears you've traced me.... too bad I'm at a payphone. See
ya soon, Drake. I have a little gift you might like. I'm sure you know
my trademark. You sleep well too. I certainly will.....]<<<<<
-- Action Jackson <00:22:41/10-04-56>

*****PRIVATE: Commander Drake
>>>>>[Commander, we are sorry, but when the Patrol-1 arrived at the trace
point your decker sent us to, there was nothing. Only a payphone. We
are securing the scene now and searching for clues.]<<<<<
-- LSS <00:24:41/10-04-56>

*****PRIVATE: LSS
>>>>>[Don't bother. Dr. Alexander Jackson leaves few clues unless he
wants to, and this is his home. He'll be difficult to find, even without
his unique and damned abilities. But thank you for trying.]<<<<<
-- Commander Drake, Interpol <00:26:17/10-04-56>

*****PRIVATE: Special Branch, Seattle
>>>>>[Prepare a team for tomorrow morning. We could have trouble serving
the court order. And have the second document accompany the first. We
could need it.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Doomsday, I find that very hard to believe. I seem to remember
having a building dropped on my not too long ago, and certain things had
to be repaired. My back was one of them. I think you'll find that when
we meet again, I will be taking you to jail, along with whomever aids
you.

And yes, Nightmare, I do mean you. Your lovely web spell will have very
little effect on me anymore. Nor will that sword you love so much. I'm
sure the BIS would love to have you returned to them for whatever justice
they seem fit to visit upon you. If we two meet, you too will find
yourself in no position to dictate terms.

As for my harming children, I would never allow any harm to come to
Arial, through action or...inaction. Good day.]<<<<<

building fall down and go boom? Everyone....one...two...three, Awwwwwww.

I'm impressed you lived, Drake. That vault wasn't _that_ strong. So,
how many favors did you call in to get your body repaired after that,
hmmm?]<<<<<

Oh boy! I can get on Nightmare's better side! (not)

Let's see ... the last time you caught Doomsday and failed to hold him, you
had HAMMER and BIS helping you. This time you have neither. You see, BIS
and the German government cleared Nightmare's name of the treason charges
HAMMER planted on him. In Germany, thanks to the efforts of several
different people, he is no longer wanted. In fact, I believe he is
officially retired from the business. The only reason BIS would want to
talk to him is to use his knowledge in certain areas.

Second, I would like you to answer the following: What do Scarface and
Action Jackson have in common besides a criminal status with Interpol?
They are the ONLY two survivors.

Thirdly, Nightmare and Doomsday had nothing to due with dropping a building
on you. I can say for sure on Nightmare's part. I don't think Doomsday
was even in the country at the time.

Lastly, I have an inkling of just what type of team Nightmare could put
together. It would make your life miserable. Especially if he were to
say, bury the axe of hard feelings with certain individuals and work
together for once. By the way, where do you get your special teams? If
your previous team that came after Blitzkrieg and others is any indications
. . . you could be in hot water if the wrong people found out.

Have a nice day, drekhead. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Ahhhh, Ratspeak.... Pride goeth before the fall.... I have fallen
farther than you, and learned from it. But I payed for my pride with my
life, and so now I have the right to it. Can you say the same?

I have greater resources than most. I also have no skeletons in my
closet. The "wrong people" you refer to already know, and I could not
get the resources I do without thier knowledge. Even if I didn't, I have
wider Rules of Engagement than _any_ other police orginization on the
planet, corporate or otherwise.

The past is the past, Ratspeak. What has happened in the past is not
hardly what will happen in the future. Regarding you, Doomsday, or
Nightmare. Sooner or later you will all make a mistake, and when you do,
I will be there to slap the cuffs on, drag you to jail, and see your
sentence carried out.

I always have nice days, Ratspeak. Especially when I get to arrest
someone on several hundred felonies. Anc coming from you, 'drekhead' is
a compliment.]<<<<<
