Room 234/236: late afternoon
Parker was currently communicating with Dr. Marc Jeffries. She'd been e-mailing him all day long, and he'd finally checked his damn e-mail, and she'd been able to convince him to meet her on AIM.
incognitachica: Why the hell would I make this up?
MarkofZirro: How should I know? Maybe you've got a sick sense of humor. Maybe you want a better spot on the conference agenda. Whoever you are, it's not funny.
incognitachica: I have proof. I have copies of the termination order for you.
MarkofZirro: Yeah? And how do I know you didn't fake those up? The Centre is a think-tank, it's a respectable international
incognitachica: Incognitachica is sending you a file: HillmanMarine.txt Read this, before you say anything else.
MarkofZirro: corporation... fine.
MarkofZirro:...
MarkofZirro: Holy shit.
incognitachica: Yeah.
MarkofZirro: They can't do this!
incognitachica: Sure they can. They've spent a lot of money on the project you're working on. Your death is cheap by comparison to what they've already laid out for the next quarter. You signed an NDA. To their mind, they're just saving on legal fees. As well as the bad press. And the threat to the project...
MarkofZirro: Oh my god, they know all this stuff about my kids. How the hell did they get this crap?
incognitachica: Standard Centre background investigation material. You're lucky they didn't threaten Emily and Amy, really.
MarkofZirro: Jesus.
incognitachica: *Now* do you believe me?
MarkofZirro: Yes. Okay. Yes. What do I do?
incognitachica: A new identity has been prepared for you and your family, solely for the purpose of getting you out of the country. Your eventual destination will be revealed once you're in Europe.
incognitachica: Contact your babysitter, have her take your kids to NYC International Wednesday at 9 a.m. You'll fly in at 8:53 on United. Pick them up, get on Lufthansa, head for Frankfurt. More information will be given to you there, and your permanent identity.
incognitachica: Your assets will be liquidated and forwarded on to you after 30 days. You'll have basic start-up money waiting for you in Frankfurt.
incognitachica: Do not talk about this with anyone. Do not communicate with your colleagues. Do not contact your friends. You are disappearing completely. You have no idea which one of them may have talked to the Centre.
incognitachica: Above all else, avoid the woman whose photo was in that file. Do not check out of your hotel yet. Simply leave early Wednesday morning. Do *not* let on that you know. Any questions?
MarkofZirro: Who the hell are you?
incognitachica:...
incognitachica: Just call me Truth.
MarkofZirro: I don't know what to say. Thanks? That's pretty inadequate. I owe you... I can't pay you back, but I do...
incognitachica: Just never, ever, ever mention this conversation to anyone. And start over. Forget you ever heard of the Centre.
MarkofZirro: Okay. Thank you. I'll do this. Somehow. I swear. I won't give you away.
incognitachica: It would be worse for you than it would be for me, Dr. Jeffries.
MarkofZirro: I get that.
incognitachica: Good. You'll be contacted in Frankfurt, Thursday. Until then.... be careful.
