...that row you might have heard if you're still around the brownstone was me reacting to having my old magic tutor walk through the wall that I was stripping wallpaper off. To tell me he was in jail.
In Nepal.
Okay, maybe there's a need for something, if not alarm. Strange says he and Wanda got mixed up in something occult-nasty in India and that they got ambushed. He's been picked up by the Nepal border cops for being in the country without a visa and he was really pushing the idea that it's important he gets out asap. Something about human sacrifice and ancient evil and the end of the world. He was fading out at the end there, but considering he was projecting half-way across the country, it's not surprising even for the armchair traveller he is, if you get me.
For all he's a stuffed shirt, he's not a bad old stick and he sounded worried, which worries me - Strange isn't the sort to get all worked up over nothing. Then again, he's not the sort to end up in jail in Nepal, either.
So, what's the drill? We up for busting him out and finding Wanda, or is this a leather job?

PS: Remy, I'll have you know I did not scream like a little girl. It was a very mature, grown-up scream, thank you very much.

Looks like you've got this one, sunbeam. Go rescue him, find out what the problem is, and take care of it. Next time, I'll try and have a proper brief for you, honest.
Oh, stop looking your screen in horror like that.
Bets: There's a few people in Myanmar and Bhutan of all places that work for British Intel that really don't want to return my calls. Can't blame them, but I really don't like not knowing what's going on in Myanmar especially. Have you got the time to hop over and convince them that they should talk to me, while Amanda susses out what the score is? That way there's someone in more or less the right timezone (well, nearer than New York, anyway) if it turns out to be something big.
Pete.

Besides, it's rather rude not to return a phone call. And there are still a few that I consider good friends and have kept in contact with during the interim. I think they may simply be ignoring you on principle, considering..... Spies with morals, and all. Who knew?

insaneserious?I guess you must be, considering I'm looking at a set of tickets to Kathmandu and a rather convincing-looking entry permit in my passport.
Guess it's you and me, then, Boss-Lady. Hope you remember to pack the winter underwear.
See you in a few - don't wait up.
