You've all seen the news by now..

It's not even the crack of sparrowshit yet, but Nate called me half an hour ago, and I've just got off the phone with Emma.  Domino and Angelo are among those hurt.  Amanda, Mrs Espinosa and I are leaving for Tel Aviv on Emma's jet just as soon as Amanda gets back with Angelo's mum and I'm done writing this.  I thought I'd let the rest of you catch on the morning news, because that's the last lie-in any of you are likely to get for the near future.

I'm sure you all know this, but I'm saying it anyway: I want answers very fucking fast.  Who did this, and how the fuck did we not know that someone was planning to strike our friends?  Given the part of the world, there's quite a list of choices.

I'm sorry folks, but your weekends are all cancelled.  As is pretty much everything that is not a minimum of sleep and breaks for food and drink.

I've called Yossi, and I'll go see him just as soon as I can once we've landed, so with any luck, I'll be able to pass on what the Israeli's have with only a modicum of alterations.

I'll be in touch.

Bombing a mutant related agency in the middle of Tel Aviv. That list is about a mile long. Did they get bombed for being mutants, jews, or themselves specifically?

Doug, get on the net. If this is connected with one of the normal terrorist groups, someone will be claiming credit for it soon enough. With the new Hamas/Fatah unity kabuki going on, and Syria eating its own guts, we could have a new factional element to deal with.

Betsy, you still friends with that British Intel guy in Turkey? If so, grab Marie-Ange and go see what he's hearing. We need to know if this is part of something larger.

Wanda, there's a list of names in your e-mail. Let Mark handle the journalists, Sarah the activists and you get the criminals. Threats and bribery as you see fit, don't mind the budget.

Sofia, assuming you're not busy eating live kittens or something, it would be helpful if someone can take an overview of what the Tel Aviv office has gotten involved in, and if any of it could be a cause to a specific group or individual. Let me know what you need to do so.

I'm off to go break several small bones in the hands of Mahjoud al-Asam until he tells me all about who's moving money and materials in the way of Tel Aviv recently.

I will take that for as close to a polite request as I will get from you and consider it.

Anyone gets a name -- no more than three -- send it my way for the typical work up.

Also, I've already sent out for lunch, before week old Chinese is forced upon any of you.

And yes, Doug, I made sure yours was extraspicy, even if you deserve none of it, pepper plant murderer.
