X-Force: X-Force Only Comm

Since everyone is at work, it makes it easy to get in and out of the brownstone.

I'm back from my 'absence'. I'll fill you in on the main details later, but in a nutshell, Jacob 'Arcade' Lowenstein finally figured out who pulled that job on him in Vegas a couple of years ago. Caught up with me while Stormy and I were at lunch, and blackmailed us into a little race; we win or he uses his evidence to put everyone he's caught involved in jail for several years. Seeing as both Doug and Wanda are more useful when not behind bars, and Nate is too old to play 'drop the soap, grab your ankles' in a prison shower, we didn't have a lot of choice.

Surprise, surprise, my psychotic ex was involved, as well as some Japanese group called 'The Hand' and the Reavers; those cyborg mercs that went after the mansion over a year ago. Put both of those into the active research list. I want to know who was behind the Reavers, since Shaw is out of the picture, and who this 'Hand' really is.

Oh, and something to make Sofia smile. They beat seven kinds of hell out of me.

I'm taking off to France for a week or so. There's some face to face work I can do there, even with a broken hand, to get our contacts tightened up again. Find Gavin and put the fear of Me back in him. You've got my cellphone number if you need me.
