Not only is your coworker unsufferably immature, nosey and (with all due respect) lacking every ounce of innocence she claims, Jubilation Lee has been spreading a very unfriendly rumor. She spoke of the warning extending into family, which you failed to mention. I am two days away from leaving for Spain, my inbox is flooded and Jubilee is 'watching' me. You understand how aggrivating this is yes? That I am wondering why you failed to tell me about the warning extending into family?

I am going to remove her skin in small pieces and turn it into a tasteless handbag and sell it to a overpriced designer and have them sell it at the GAP.

I will talk to Jubilee. Rest assured that by talk I do mean 'yell at' and by 'yell at' I mean "I have not decided if I want to kill her or not."

It may have been family. I am not certain, the card in question is not always family, it could mean close friends or people you care for deeply.

Manuel, I would not have warned you if I did not think it was serious but I do not think you are in any danger.

I would enjoy seeing that. Very very much. The gap is _very_ tasteless. Old Navy would be more fitting however. I understand the Gap owns old navy but has less stitching. From what I understand, it is why the clothes fall apart.

She has agreed to back off, due to Dani's presence, I believe. I do not need this much attention from the group and yet I have gotten it, trying to remain as far away from the mansion, and the people within, as possible.

Very well. A warning would still have been appreciated, regardless of how you saw it. I am anxious now to go to Spain and thankful I requested Amanda to accompany me. I am tired and I have not left yet. Is that not an awful situation to be in?

I apologize for my tone in my last email. I was very aggitated and impatient, fighting with Jubilee through email. It tries my patience on a level I cannot begin to describe. You have been a very good friend and I welcome your opinion as much as your advice.

Yes, but selling it to Old Navy would mean I would have to step foot in one to check, and I refuse to do that. I can go into the Gap without wanting to throw up.

I am not sure what she was thinking in the first place. She has better things to do with her time. Obviously Remy is not keeping her busy enough. Even if Remy wants you kept an eye on, she should not be telling you about it!

You are going home to Spain? If it is not too nosy, may I ask why? Perhaps you can sleep on the plane, assuming you have first class seats? They make very excellent soundproof headphones, Doug uses them in airports when his power is giving him travel problems. He could probably let you know where to get some.

Your tone was not a problem, I can very much understand why you would be upset. I will find some way to convince Jubilee to leave you alone, or at least be discreet if she has been asked to watch you by Remy. I doubt this is the case, Remy is usually upfront about that sort of thing, and I have heard nothing about it.

Currently, Dani is with me at the hotel and recieving this much attention may get _her_ attention and I am unsure of such consequences. As you said before, Dani is not herself and to have Jubilee stalking around in the shadows is likely to draw some unpleasant attention from Dani. I cannot stress enough the importance that Jubilee leaves us. Dani is restrained, by what, I do not know, herself possibly? I do have a feeling it would take very little for her to go over the edge, however this is merely my own assessment of the situation and I do not believe I have a firm grasp on what she is going through.

Remy has many secrets. Hopefully he is not keeping this one from you. I am relieved to know that he has not said anything.

You do not have to worry. I requested that Amanda accompany me. I believe she needs the time to herself and though we have extensive history, there is a certain amount of comfort that can be drawn from someone who shared an empathetic link with you. I have some business to attend and my accounts are being slowly sapped of their funds instead of accumulating interest. I need to see what has happened concerning them.

Thank you for your help. I will let you know when I return from Spain. Perhaps we can go out for dinner, you, Doug and I later on.

That is a very good point, and I will be sure to make it to Jubilee when I talk to her. I am going to go see if I can calm down - I have very personal reasons to be upset with Jubilee over this, she should know better than to act on one of my predictions without speaking to me first. The last time someone did that, they temporarily died.

I really do not think he would assign her to this without telling the rest of us.

Your accounts are being emptied and you are not doing it? Would you like me to see if Doug would, as he puts it 'guess the bank's password' and see who is accessing them?

You are very welcome. Dinner would be welcome as well, the last one was very excellent - I cannot thank you enough for choosing a restaurant that Doug could eat at comfortably, given his recent dietary changes.

I apologize for not getting to this sooner. I am leaving for Spain today and I wanted to send you an email before I left. Thank you for calming Jubilee though I do think her intentions were good and well after I spoke with Remy. He believes I have painted a target on my back due to my dealings with the HFC.

No, I will be within Spain and find out for myself. It was a gradual thing and I have yet to see if it is someone pulling money from the accounts or I am being charged a ridiculous rate for something.

I owe you both very much for not back handing me when you could have. My past has done nothing to earn any respect, nor the gift you sent. (because I _know_ it was you who sent it).

Her intentions may have been good but nonetheless, this sort of thing is best stopped early. Acting on my predictions without letting me know is never a good idea.

Remy may very well be correct, although you are in no more danger than Emma or any other of the members of the Court, no?

I am glad you liked the gift. I saw it and thought of you right away. How did you figure out I sent it? Did Doug tell you?

Good luck with your dealings in Spain. I hope they go as well as possible for you.

Yes. And it was getting out of hand very quickly. Remy paid me a visit last night because of it. It is a reminder to keep myself in check and not allow myself to get disgustingly drunk again.

He believes I am an easier target due to my limp and uncontrollable powers.

No he did not. Though our interactions have been brief, you are the only one whom I can say cares enough to hold no real grudge against me because of what I have done, even though I wronged you long ago. It was merely a guess on my part and very much a thoughtful gift that only you would think of. Our tastes are very similiar and there are few who have a taste like mine.

Thank you. Amanda will be with me, therefore, it should go smoothly.
