E-Mails to Adrienne and Manuel

Subject: What the fuck?

Okay, so I gave you a couple days time to get over it, hit things, think, whatever. So, now I am asking: What the fuck happened between you and de la Rocha to make you totally evade questions and ditch out like you suddenly realized the spouse of the person you were having an affair with was coming up the driveway? Seriously, you don't usually just walk the fuck out on me.

Subject: What the fuck did you do to Adrienne?

So I'm hanging out with my mate the other day, she brings up the fact that she's not bringing something up which eventually turns out to be related to you. When I asked she got really down with the evasion tactics, would only say that she threw up after dinner with you and then walked out on me, which she has never done before no matter how many buttons of hers I insist on pushing. So I am asking you in no uncertain terms: What the fuck happened that she's being so dodgy about because unless she's developed a model-level bulimia addiction I can't think of why she'd ditch like that. Best I can figure is it has something to do with you two and your dinner the other night.

-Morgan

P.S. Evasion is really not the way to handle this e-mail either in case you were considering.

Perhaps it is because I am female or because I know certain facts about her, but I can think of many reasons why you would not say "I think he tried to rape you." I can also think of many ways to gain the information without ever disclosing that suspicion. When you want information people aren't likely to want to tell you then you find other ways of gaining it. More creative means and approaches. More effective means.

I don't think she really wants anyone to care anyway.

Good luck with whatever's got you in Spain, by the way.

Yes, it is possible that he could have said something other than that, if that is what he said. I believe you need to discuss this with Adrienne. I have told you all I know and this trip to Spain requires my immediate attention.

No, I think at this point it is he I need to discuss this with.

Please respect this as also an involvement that ties into me. Keep that in mind when you speak to Remy. I do not need more accusations thrown in my direction, especially when I am not around to defend myself.

I am not sure what you think I am going to say to him but I have no intentions to accuse you of anything or to divulge any information about you that is not mine to share. I have reasons for being concerned with LeBeau's involvement and how it was handled that has nothing to do with you and everything to do with him.

You know a lot more than most, which is why I say it. I would like to say you are my friend, to know that, but like most, I cannot tell friend from foe, no matter how much help they offer me. It merely takes on rumor to ruin me and only one to show true colours.

What I know about you was not all information acquired from you willingly telling me but due to me having your powers and you being therefore unable to hide emotions from me. Some people don't understand the distinction between public information and private information. There is probably not much I know about you that I'd tell other people short of: Grumpy, Spaniard, Empath...and other things everyone knows like having been in a coma, being stuck with a limp, looking good in a speedo... ;)

I'm not your foe. Even if I can get unreasonably protective over certain stupid people I associate with. I'm not sure if we're friends exactly but for now "not enemies" will have to work for classification.

Perhaps that is something we may build off of in the future. "Not enemies" is a comfortable arm's length that I am familiar with.

Perhaps. Though, honestly, I'm not really sure how long I might be around now so the arm's length is probably best kept intact for a bit anyway. We wouldn't want you getting attached to me using you as a pillow only for me to leave, would we?

I highly doubt that would happen. Are you planning to leave?

Don't lie, you love being a pillow. I was planning to leave in November. A friend got his arm ripped off and no body turned up until earlier this month when everyone was found. I had delayed departure until the fate of the four was known. Now that they have been recovered I have to decide if I am going to continue with my plans or not.

Perhaps you should consider staying, considering you have "not enemies" here?
A departure seems abrupt, even from you.

I've been offered a job which would keep me here. I am considering it. I don't know, though.

I miss my guys. They're my family. They're all I've had for the past nine years. I never expected to be gone this long. In November I just got sick of not being there. It seemed stupid to try to help win back New York City when I really had no reason to care what happened to the place while there are people I do care about who get shot at on a daily basis. The departure's been a long time coming. Maybe it seems abrupt because no one but me realized it.

Consider Adrienne someone you would leave behind. Other than that, I cannot see anything beyond new beginings for someone like you. Such as myself, a coma was a new begining, however, I am the only one who realizes this because I wear the same skin as before, but not the same heart.

Subject: Aren't those things boring?

I suppose some people need to be taken out of their life before they can find a new approach for it. Such as you. Maybe I'm the same. I don't know. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. I've never had to make a decision like this. It was easier to have my place, understand it and just stick to it. Options aren't something I've really had in a long time. I guess I'll figure it out eventually.
