Professor,

A little birdy (okay, a really BIG birdy, and Mr. Marko doesn't tweet so much as he does bellow) has informed me that I seem to have done a pretty righteous job of irritating my father. Emma doubtlessly has, too, so the old man's probably seeing red when he looks in our general direction.

I think you and I both know the sorts of resources he has at his disposal. I don't know if he'd actually make a move against either of us while we're at the school, but I felt it best to be prepared, just in case, especially since the school's security is currently undergoing its overhaul. Much easier to add and tweak it while it's being done, rather than later on down the line.

The attached file is a list of my father's covert operatives throughout the Americas - it may be a little out of date, but it may still be of use. It came to me by way of Mr. Dayspring. Emma's got a copy already.

As always, just give a hollar if you need anything, Professor. I'm always happy to help in whatever ways I can.

Emma,

Mr. Marko tells me we've royally pissed my father off. Now, while this news brings no end of joy to my heart, the old bastard actually tried to do something about it - he offered to compensate Marko (whom he's become aware of due to some business widgets - never pictured him for the suit-wearing type) to bring you and I to him. Marko turned him down, of course, and if he actually used the words he summed the conversation up to me with in the process, I am officially fond of the groundskeeper. I'd have paid to see dad's face.

At any rate, I thought you should know. I've already let Professor Xavier know, as well, and took the liberty of forwarding him a copy of that list of the old man's operatives that I sent you, so that the new security guy has it at his disposal.

Should we celebrate, do you suppose? It's rather picked my mood up. You could join Henry, Warren and I at the theater this evening, perhaps - I'd be hard pressed to find myself in better company again, after that.

Yours,
-Shinobi
