The Hit
Edmund was on the outskirts of Jerome Howard's home, scanning the area. He had a few guards, but nothing that couldn't be handled. For such a big man, Edmund could be deceptively quick and quiet when he needed to be. From the cover of a nearby bush, he waits for the first guard to get close. When he got close enough, Edmund grabbed him, quickly snapping his neck. He hid the body, quickly filing away where he put it, before moving in closer. He slinks along the back of the house, making his way toward the front door. He sees another guard by the entrance. Using his power, he forces a piece of wall tile to fall lightly, but audibly, near the guard. The man turned at the noise and went in the direction it came from. Perfect position. Edmund sends another tile down, but with much more significant force as it cracks the man's skull on the way down. With the front cleared, Edmund snuck inside. Someone must have heard the second tile come down as another guard raced around the corner. Edmund didn't hesitate. He flung a right cross at the man head, and just before his fist connected he increased it's mass. The man's face caved in from the impact, instantly killing him.

"What the hell's going on out there!?" Edmund sees the man, Jerome if Minnie's description was accurate, who raises his gun upon seeing him. Edmund extends his hands, forcing the gun down on the man's feet like a stone. "Fuck! You mutie freak!" the man writhed on the floor, the bones in his feet crushed. "You're with him, aren't you!? That freak wants to take what's mine!"

Edmund raised an eyebrow at that, the only indication that he put the pieces together. Looks like he'd have something to talk about when he got back to New York. He looked back down at the man. "Yeah, he did.  He says to see you in Hell." And then he brought his foot down, finishing the job.

-15 minutes later-
He had gathered up all the bodies, cleaned up any remains, and loaded them into his car. He loaded some of the late Jerome's furntiure into the back on top of the bodies, making it look as if he were either moving or delivering orders to someone. He then took a series of alternate routes to avoid as many potential law enforcement and checkpoints as possible. Those few he did he maintained his calm and went by with no fuss. He reached the Atlantic Ocean, having had a boat prepared ahead of time. After some more lifting, he put the bodies on board and sailed out a ways. He dumped the bodies overboard, using his power to force them to sink to the very deepest depths. As the last one sank, he though again to what Jerome had said. Edmund had an idea of who the "freak" was, but he would see for himself. Time to go home.

"I didn't think miniaturized artificial psychic shielding technology was available in the States," Minnie mutters.

"It isn't, Pop had to bring in a guy from overseas to do it." He says answering Minnie's question. He turns to Julian. "Go ahead, though I've never asked a psychic what it feels like so I don't know what affect it would have on you."

Julian reaches out with his mind toward Edmund, attempting to read any surface thought that he can find.

Edmund sits casually as Julian makes his attempt to read Edmund's mind. Edmund pictures a particularily hilarious incident in which the two had pranked a few of the school's more snooty students. He felt a little tingle, the only indication that the attempt was made as the chip did it's thing. It was actually a kind of pleasant feeling, but he ddn't feel any real intrusion.

"Get anything?"

Julian tries a bit harder, but when he can't get anything...he sits back and nods in approval.

"Excellent. This thing with Xavier just may happen after all. If he can't shut your mind down from three states away, we just might have a shot at this." Julian says.

In other circumstances, Minnie would suggest getting one of their telepath friends to check, as Julian doesn't have much practice with non-defensive telepathy, but this isn't the sort of thing you can invite a few pals in on. So Minnie just smiles.

"Glad to hear it. I'm pretty fond of my mind and I'd hate to lose it." Edmund jokes but with a touch of seriousness. "So until we've gotten enough pros to do this, what do you want me to do in the meantime?"

"Well, how many evil stepnephews do you want dealt with, My King?" Minnie asks cheerily.

"Turns out that there's only a couple of others to worry about." Julian says.

"Two of them I have a lead on. One is in Texas at the moment, the other is in Fort Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary." Julian says.

"The last one dropped off the radar about a year ago, but he'll surface again. The one in Dallas, Texas is the one I'm hoping to deal with.

Carter Howard needs to meet with an untimely demise. After that, I'll consider the issue handled for the time being." Julian says.

"Texas? Lovely, I do no well in heat." Edmund joked, but then turned serious. "This Carter may already know Jerome's gone missing and may be prepared. What kind of guy is he? Is he a punk like that last guy, or does he actually have teeth?"

"Former Army Ranger and Special Forces. Wouldn't be surprised if he's not exactly a pushover. If you need any particular gear or accommodations, let us know and we'll get them to happen." he says.

"Hmm, I'll have to take that into account then." Edmund finishes his drink. "Thanks, I may take you up on that. Well, guess I'll be heading back to my apartment. You guys know how to get a hold of me." Edmund makes to get up.

"Oh, we will. After all, I already owe you something." Minnie smiles and winks.

"Edmund, take care of yourself. We're looking forward to working with you in greater capacity." Julian says, rising as well to shake his hand.

Edmund shakes the offered hand.

"Likewise, we need to get together and bull about old times some day." Edmund returns Minnie's smile. "I'll hold you that. Later guys." Edmund makes his exit.

Once he's out, Minnie can't help herself. "Oh, he's such a nice guy, Dearest."

Julian says nothing for several minutes.

"Oh no, Minnie. He's not a nice guy, not in the real sense of the word. Like us, he can /be/ nice, but he will do whatever he has to, to whoever he has to in order to survive. He'll kill anyone he needs to." Julian says, watching the door Edmund left through.

"And now, he's on the payroll." Julian tells her, reaching to trace her spine with his fingertips again.

"I /do/ like him, though." Julian says.

"I know he's a professional. But I wouldn't say anyone," she says with a little shiver -- and a twitch of her hips -- at his touch. "He was going to turn the job down when he thought it was you; I could tell. My point is, I like him, too."

"I don't have a lot of friend, Minnie. In fact, if I had to count, I've only ever had five in my life. You and Edmund are two of them." Julian says, continuing to stroke her spine.

"We'll need to discuss the action against Aaron Zothelle, but that can come tomorrow. No more meetings today." he says.

"I'm hungry."

She presses herself against him. "Will I be sufficient, or do you need me to make Arrangements -- you need to be careful about those, you know."

"You'll do. If necessary, I have an idea or two." Julian says.

"I haven't killed anyone in quite sometime, Minnie. Paulo was good about keeping me from doing so, though he was also good at sweeping up ashes, too." he says.

"Come now. Let's get you fed and then we'll discus the rest after." he says.

"Glad to hear it."

"Mmm, yes, Sir." And off they go to deal with that.
