Think about it seriously; you know it makes sense (Rex)
A card will arrive on Rex's birthday from Cindy. Enclosed is an additional sheet of cardstock reading "Redeemable for one business opportunity from L.C.M. Lord. Call the following number or send messages via beautiful winged women."

	Rex reads over the card several times, waiting to see if he's being punked or if Nic is going to pop out and tell him the meaning of this. When it doesn't happen, Rex decides to indulge himself and calls the number in question. "Is this a trick?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"No, Mr. Stewart, this is an opportunity. The word on the grapevine is, you're interested in being lent money. As it so happens, every shred of my account for making investments is liquid at the moment, and you're a really, really safe bet. This investment would be mine, not my mother and father's. Are you still in the market for a small business loan?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rex /did/ need the money, but something about this didn't feel right to him. Owing his sister's girlfriend money wasn't something he was keen on. Cindy being a Lord had finally dropped to the around the second or third most problematic thing about her. He was more worried about the amount of time they spent together, which Rex felt was too much.

"You...do realize that your father and I don't like each other, right? He insulted my sister and I can't imagine that he'd support you supporting me. Nic hasn't mentioned Max taking out his anger on her, which I'd hope wasn't happening.

I'd like to think you wouldn't let that happen." Rex says.

	"Of course I wouldn't. Dad just stays away when we have a date. He knows I'm old enough to refuse visitation if he pisses me off. And of course Dad doesn't like you; you punched him in the face. But it's my account, and I'll invest what I want to." Pause. "And Nic's not scared of my dad, is she? Can I talk to her?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What, she's not there? She left earlier with a note saying she'd be back later and that she wanted to talk, but nothing more. When she didn't answer her phone, I figured you two were out raiding the world's bacon supply." Rex says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, I haven't seen her. I thought she was home. She doesn't say with whom she's going when she leaves a note?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I usually assume it's you or Mickey, because Nic doesn't talk about any other friends with me." Rex says.

In fact, Nic didn't talk about much of /anything/ with him, not anymore.

"And she left a couple of hours ago and she's not at /your/ place. Great." Rex says, going to get his coat.

"I'll have to talk to you later about business. I need to go find Feathers." Rex says.

	"Yeah, I'll do that." Rex says, hanging up the phone. (Reply to this)(Parent)
