+++++ Include News Clip +++++

Mr. Harold Lakes, University of Seattle senior, leaped to his death earlier
this evening, falling from the cliff above Intercity-90 into traffic. His
death caused several accidents and stopped east-bound traffic across Lake
Washington from about 7PM until 10PM this evening. Mr. Lakes had completed
his course of studies and was planning to travel throughout the Native
American Nations and Europe prior to starting his job at Mitsuhama Computer
Technologies in August, says his ex-roommate, William Miller. His friends
had this to say about Mr. Lakes:

"He sure knew how to party, but never drank and drove. He was a really
responsible partier." -- Missy Lafferty

"He was so up on traveling and his new job, I just don't know why he would
go and kill himself." -- Stefan Vicker

Lone Star has declined to comment, except to express thier regrets to Mr.
Lake's parents and younger brother.

The clip neglects to mention that Harry was found wearing a new green suit
and a white rose was found near our dead neo-salaryman's hands. A couple
of witnesses said they saw Harry clutching that rose as he fell, and one
SINless woman saw a second figure atop the cliff. Lone Star is
investigating to be sure it wasn't a homocide.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Whoops, this just in from Lone Star (don't ask me about my
connections):
Harold Lakes was murdered. One of the forensics magicians did an astral
scan, and turns out the white rose had a control actions spell on it, and
whoever cast that sucker forced Lakes to jump off that cliff into traffic.

Oh, and the investigating officer is homocide Detective Midori Pardy,
FYI.]<<<<<
