It all starts with a smoke alarm

This wasn't supposed to happen like that, of course. It was supposed to happen with an ”allow me to introduce myself”, at the least. But hey, I am playing the cards I've been dealt, and since an anonymous ask on Tumblr does not allow pictures or links, this will have to do. We'll have plenty of time later.

Yesterday, I said that reading that Single Report reaped benefits. I have screen capped and summed up all the things that made me rise an eyebrow, to make things easier. Hopefully, this is going to be short: who would wax lyrical about a septic tank, after all?

I did not use my superpowers to do this, but simply the link provided by a very active Anon on several shipper blogs, in order to properly stir shite, I presume: https://corumproperty.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/HomeReport-31.pdf

Armed with my wits and a virtual highlighter, I started to carefully read the whole document. Ownership details aside - this, I discussed yesterday -, I remind you that it should give any prospective buyer a good, detailed idea of the available fittings and current condition of the house put on sale.

In Europe and elsewhere, I guess, inspections of this type are rather a dull and thorough affair. And these people did an excellent job: they checked every single nook & cranny, used binoculars to have a closer look at the roof tiles and listed it all on these papers a good researcher should read, before dropping to conclusions.

This is how we know, for example, that the inspection happened on a rainy day:

.. and that the guttering was overflowing. Does that sound like a well loved, lived-in house to you?

Thought so.

This brought a smile. And the image of a Christmas tree left near a London dustbin in June. Home, sweet home?

Like all properties, this also comes with burglar and fire alarm systems. However, apparently not much has been done, in this respect. Or at least, not recently. Not since February 2022, to be accurate: otherwise, they would have been upgraded. Yet, no such thing: it's up to the buyer to do and pay for the upgrade.

Lived-in? Certainly not after February 2022 and probably even earlier, would be my best guess. But lived-in at some point in time, most certainly.

You see, since I was on the real estate agent's webpage, I also took the virtual tour of the house. It is available to everyone, here: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=AFKibrk8QiD

Now, I don't know about you, but when I visit somebody's house for the first time, I always check the bookshelves: yes, I am a shameless nerd. I am also well aware that the rest of the furniture was staged, it looked that sad, clinical way it does all over the world. Did not expect to find any books in there, to be honest. And yet, there they were.

I didn't bother with the fashion coffee table books, although I thought they were a nice nod to Ms. B's past, and totally the kind of things she might have on her credenza.

A built-in bookshelf in the basement caught my eye. That did not look staged. It looked as she might have left some of her own books in there, like an afterthought, if you want. And people's choices of books are always speaking volumes to me, about who they really are.

It did not disappoint.

More fash-un. And yeah, Tiffany & Co! I knew it!

A Tina Turner bio or memoir. Awww:

Bette Davis and some feminist literature. Her books, I am pretty sure of that:

And, to save the best for last, lo and behold, what do we have here?

Bear Grylls?

That Bear Grylls?

Hahahaha. Of course. I have all the reasons in the world to believe the music producer/PA/whatever is into masculine thrillers written by a world-renowned survivalist, haven't I?

Not a chance in hell, to be honest. I grinned like the Cheshire cat because, ladies, we do know WHOSE book is this, don't we?

Judging by its jacket, well-read. Not a prop.

Belonging to someone with a dry, wicked sense of humor who apparently also left this gem:

A Captain's Duty. At this point in time, I wasn't grinning anymore. I was laughing like an idiot, of course.

Slàinte mhath, ladies. We'll have time for a proper introduction later.

Ch 7 - The Fairy Godparents Job

Series Rewrite Masterlist 

Pairing: Eliot Spencer x Ford!Reader

Description: Another crooked financial guy, but this time under house arrest. Helping his son into the spotlight must be the play here.

Words: 4768

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nate texted the group chat letting us know that he was meeting with a client and to meet for briefing. I stepped into his apartment to see that Eliot was already in the living room reading a magazine. I greeted him and sat on the far side of the couch, tucking my legs underneath me.

He greeted me with a nod, but nothing more. 

Hardison walked in and started showing Eliot a phone sized device that he said was actually a metal detector. He started explaining how it worked, but I didn’t understand much. It was clear that Eliot wasn’t listening.

“Are you even listening?” Hardison asked after stopping mid-spiel. 

Eliot looked up from his magazine, “yeah.”

“Well, what did I say?”

“You’re explaining how you’re still a virgin?”

I couldn’t stop the short laugh that escaped me. I noticed it cracked a smile out of Eliot before he turned back to his magazine. Hardison looked at me with betrayal.

“I’m sorry, Hardison, that’s super cool, but I don’t understand what you’re saying… and it was a little funny…”

“Woman-”

Nate walked in with Parker cutting off whatever he was going to rebuff with.

“Talking to clients, you’re supposed to sympathize,” Nate seemed to be explaining to her. 

“I told you not to take her,” Eliot said.

“Well, you were right. Where’s Sophie?”

“I don’t know.”

“Well, we’re not waiting,” Nate said as he sat down, “let's go, let’s start.”

Hardison took over researching this mark as I was busy with a project. He told us all about Daniel Fowler, our mark. He posed as a private investor, but just stole people’s money, including our client, a small clinic set to shut down because of him. The whole firm was busted as a Ponzi scheme and the FBI froze all of his assets and put him on house arrest. 

“I’m talking corporate accounts, personal accounts, real estate holdings… anything on planet Earth with this dude’s name on it is on ice,” Hardison explained. 

“FBI’s very thorough, huh?” Eliot asked. 

“Isn’t this going to be a problem for us though?” I asked, “I mean, what are we gonna do if he’s this locked up?”

Hardison had a slight smirk on his face, “Wait for it…” he pointed at Parker. 

“What’d they miss?” she asked, humoring him. 

“Oh…” a couple of screens came up with a press of a button, “Twenty million dollars. Moved it off the books right before the warrants came down.”

“He knew the end was near and he was getting ready to bolt,” Nate said. “Tell me something, where was Fowler arrested?”

“Oh, in his apartment,” Hardison answered, “packing for his “business trip” to the Maldives.”

Sophie walked in then, but she didn’t look as chipper as she usually did. She didn’t say anything as she walked to the kitchen.

“You see, he’d need it light, portable, close at hand,” Nate thought out loud, “that twenty million is in his apartment.”

“Yeah, but y/n brought up a good point,” Eliot added, “This guy’s on house arrest, man. I mean, he’s practically living with the FBI.”

“The problem is not getting into the apartment,” Sophie interjected, “but getting them out.”

There was a moment of awkwards silence before Nate asked, “where were ya?”

“Oh. I was running an errand,” Sophie stuttered noncommittally. 

“Weren’t you with the boyfriend?” Parker asked innocently.

“Parker” I whispered with a pointed look.

She had the grace to look a little guilty.

“So what are the terms of his house arrest?” Sophie changed the subject. 

Hardison answered, “Fowler’s confined to his six million dollar penthouse overlooking the Charles River.”

“That’s a rough punishment, huh?” Eliot asked sarcastically. 

“The whole place is outfitted with 24/7 surveillance so the Feds can keep an eye on him.” Hardison pointed his remote at the screen, “now… we can too.”

The screen showed a feed of Fowler’s apartment with him lying on the couch. We all smiled at him when he continued.

“I piggybacked the wireless feed.”

“Still,” Sophie sat on the back of the couch behind me, “for us to get in and search the place, we got to get rid of Fowler.”

“Now there are three general exceptions for house arrest,” Nate starts. “There’s personal safety, death of a relative, and family events.”

“Personal safety? We could burn the apartment down,” Eliot suggests. 

Parker cheered and volunteered.

“Or death of a relative…” He continued.

Nate disregarded them, “Who is that?”

A kid and a woman crossed the screen.

“Oh, the kid. The kid is from her first marriage, Widmark.”

“I’m sorry what?” I asked him.

“Widmark?” Eliot emphasized.

“Rich people, man,” Hardison replied. 

“Can you punch in on that, please?” Nate asked.

Hardison turned up the volume of the screen so we could hear what was being said. We watched as the kid was yelled at for apparently losing a cell phone. The adults stormed off, leaving him alone in the living room. 

“Wow, okay. What do we have on the kid?” Nate asked.

Hardison described Widmark. There was nothing particularly exceptional about him, 10 years old, in the fifth grade, no extracurricular activities. The only thing interesting about him on record is that he was allergic to strawberries. 

“Judges give out day passes for family events,” Nate reiterated, “it’s one of the three things right? So, Fowler is going to ask for one, so he doesn’t miss out on his kid’s big debut.”

“Wait,” I said, “What is he debuting as?”

Nate thought for a moment, “yeah, I don’t know. But we’re gonna steal his school and find out.”

Hardison was in charge of getting rid of the current principal, which he did quite easily with a couple of plane tickets. Nate was to pose as the new headmaster, with Sophie and Eliot his head teachers of “mind und body.” The parents weren’t too happy at first when they found out, but they were soon pacified enough for them to get to work. Meanwhile, Parker and Hardison were securing an apartment in the same building as the Fowlers so they had easier access to the penthouse. 

I hung out in the headmaster’s office while Nate, Sophie, and Eliot spoke to the parents. 

“Hardison and Parker are all set, now all we gotta do is give Widmark a triumph worth a day pass,” Nate said, strolling in. 

“A triumph? In what?” Sophie asked, looking at his file, “I mean, in five years this kid hasn’t joined a club, he hasn’t played a sport…”

“I gotta be honest with ya, I don’t know how I feel about using the kid to get a mark,” Eliot commented. 

“We’re not using him. I mean, every kid is good at something,” Nate insisted. “We just gotta draw Widmark out, give him his moment to shine.”

“Oh, so, we’ll be like his fairy godparents,” Sophie concluded. 

“Exactly,” Nate said, “I mean, come one, look at this: cushy private school, no gunrunners, mob bosses, Interpol. This is a breeze!”

“Wait, you guys have dealt with all that before?” I asked, finally speaking up. 

Nate nodded at me, “We got one week before the clinic closes for good… Athletics, academics…” he pointed at me, “this should be a good job for you to learn with. I want you to shadow Eliot and Sophie, work on staying in character. Whatever character you choose.” He turned back to address us as a group, “let's go get Widmark the win, alright?”

I followed Eliot first as he had Widmark in his class. He introduced himself to the class before gesturing to me to do the same. 

“Hello everyone, you can call me Ms. Jenny. I’m going to be accompanying your class here and there for this upcoming week, let me know if you need anything.” I smiled at all of them, making a particular effort to make eye contact with Widmark. 

Eliot directed the class to grab fencing equipment and to put it on before turning to me with a bit of humor, “Ms. Jenny? A little simple… are you even playing a character?”

I stuck my tongue out at him, “I’m working on it. It’s easier to remember than your name Mr… blah blah blah.”

“It’s Mr. Brewer, it’s not that hard.” He smirked at me, “I thought you said you saw the fun of this in Nebraska?”

“I do! It's just…” I bit my lip, “It makes me nervous, too, okay? This is so new and… I’m not sure I know how to do all of this.”

His smirk softened to a smile, “That’s okay, this’ll be a good run for ya. You’ll get the hang of it, but first,” he handed me a fencing sword, “help me teach these guys how to fence.”

He walked away towards the kids, and I followed quickly after, “I don’t know how to do that either.”

Eliot gave a brief demonstration, with me being mostly a prop. It was then time for the kids to try. 

“Alright Widmark, get on the line, you’re up.”

Widmark looked around as if Eliot had not just asked him. 

“Widmark, come on,” I urged him. 

“Get on the line,” Eliot repeated, “Show ‘em what you got, man.”

Widmark went to stand on the line, but a taller boy tripped him. I went to help Widmark up from the floor. 

Eliot immediately jumped in, “Hey! Take your helmet off. What’s your name?” 

The boy complied, “Skylar Sanford.”

I immediately rolled my eyes at his tone.

“Skylar?” Eliot asked. After the boy affirmed he said, “Is that a boy’s name? Don’t do that again.”

He took Skylar and put him against Widmark on the mat. Widmark had to be directed to put his helmet on, but struggled and put it on backwards. 

“Oh, Widmark-” I tried to correct him as the kids started to laugh, but Eliot beat me to it.

“What are you doing?” Eliot asked him after telling the class not to laugh. “There’s girls here. You’re better than that. Turn your hat around.”

Once Widmark did as he was told, Eliot started the match. It did not last long. Skylar quickly overpowered him, the buzzer indicating a hit and point ringing in my ears. 

Strike one on helping Widmark. 

Next up was Sophie with a spelling bee to prep for the state spelling bee next week. She held a tryout for a competition on Friday for the schools best spellers, plus Widmark. It all seemed to be going well with the words clearly marked in Widmark’s favor. Unfortunately there was one girl that rose to the challenge. Sophie was determined to get her to break, but I could see that it was not happening easily, if at all. I finally had to take a break and stepped out, running into Eliot again. 

“What are you doing out here? Thought you were shadowing Sophie?” He asked me.

I leaned against the hallway wall, “I was, but she’s doing a spelling bee and there’s a girl in there spelling words I didn’t even know existed. It’s giving me a headache.”

Eliot sighed, “Another strike?”

I nodded, “Another strike.”

We just looked at each other for a minute causing me to remember something that I had been meaning to talk to him about, but we hadn’t been alone since after the previous job.

“Hey, uh,” I spoke up before he walked away, “I’ve been meaning to… I don’t know. It’s just, after the last job, I mentioned what you did for that kid, it seemed to make you uncomfortable. I just wanted to apologize, I guess.”

He tilted his head at me before he responded, “Oh, uh, no you didn’t do anything wrong. I just wasn’t prepared. I didn’t think anyone heard about that…”

“I don’t think anyone else did, to be honest. I won’t bring stuff up like that again though if you don’t want me to.”

“No, not at all. I’m sorry I made you feel like you couldn’t…” He trailed off, but smiled. “We’re good, sweetheart, don’t worry about it.”

The bell rang and kids started to flow out into the hallway. He nodded his head down the hallway signaling that he had to go and I waved him off. I went to join Sophie in the auditorium when I heard her talking with Widmark. 

“I try hard, all the time,” Widmark said, “but, no matter how much I want something, it never happens.”

“Oh sweetie,” Sophie replied, “What do you want?”

“I don’t know… I just,” Widmark frowned, “I want someone to like me. Does that get easier when you’re a grownup?” 

I shook my head no, just to myself when Sophie answered him.

“Um, no. I don’t think it does.”

“You’re nice,” Widmark said, “but weird.”

Sophie shewed him off to class and he walked by me, “bye Ms. Jenny.”

“Bye Widmark,” I smiled at him as he walked off. I looked at Sophie once he left, and sighed.

This may be harder than we thought. 

We met back up at Nate’s apartment this time, but I had snacks from mine, which I thought was needed in this situation. Hardison and Parker recounted their experience setting up equipment at the Fowler’s place. 

“Let me just, can I get this straight?” Nate started, pacing around my kitchen, “Ok, alright, you two, you couldn’t rig a gym class and a spelling bee.” He turned towards Hardison and Parker, “and you two, you ran into the only FBI agents on the planet that recognize you?” He turned towards me, “what did you do?”

I raised my hands, full of chips, “I’m just shadowing.”

“I gotta be honest with you,” Eliot said, “I think we broke the kid even more.”

“We are the worst fairy godparents in the world!” Sophie exclaimed, dropping her spoon in her cup.

“Listen, we’ve still got to get Fowler out of the apartment so we can get in.”

“Yeah, except now, when he leaves there’ll be somebody waiting to kill him.”

“Can’t we use that? Isn’t that personal safety or whatever?” I asked, my mouth full.

“No,” Nate replied.

“Man, one of his victims wants payback more than he wants to be paid back,” Hardison said. 

“Well, one of you two can identify the gunman, right?” Eliot asked. 

“Yeah, sure. He stopped and let me take a picture of him as I was chasing him.”

“You know what? I’ve been around little kids all day, I don’t need to come home and do all this crap.”

“I’ve been in this pink shirt and these tight plaid pants, these old Webster loafers, this girl walking on my back…” Hardison went on as Parker handed Eliot her sketch pad. 

“Is this the guy?” he asked, and I walked over to look at the drawing. 

She hummed an affirmative.

The drawing was very detailed showing the face of a man, dark hair, slightly sunken eyes, drawn with a pen. 

“See?” Eliot tossed the pad at Hardison.

“I didn’t know you could do that,” Hardison remarked. 

“I thought everyone could do that,” Parker replied.

I shook my head, “No Parker, not everyone can do that, that’s some talent you have there.” 

She smiled at me proudly before Nate continued. 

“Okay, alright, keep an eye on him. In the meantime, if they think you’re real FBI, be real FBI. I mean, use it to case the apartment.”

“So, I’m out of this and I’m on FBI detail with Parker and Hardison then,” Eliot concluded. 

“Actually, no. I need you to be Coach Brewer.”

“There’s an armed gunman out there,” Eliot insisted, “you want me in the gym with kids named Skylar and Indigo?”

“Where did Coach Brewer go?” Nate raised the question.

“Shut up,” Sophie said, urging us to listen to the surveillance feed on the TVs. 

Widmark was singing to himself, and was doing a pretty good job. 

“The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of a king,” Sophie said, excitedly. I assumed she was quoting something, but I didn’t ask. 

We all looked at each other for a moment before Nate smiled, “Sophie, how long would it take you to stage a musical?”

“Six weeks,” she answered. 

“You have two days.”

I watched as the next day, Sophie lined up the kids, and instructed them to sing their science fair projects. When Widmark went, he wasn’t too bad, but his project was about mold, so kind of gross. Sophie encouraged him, and insisted he sing in the finale. 

I smiled at him from the auditorium seats, and he had a slight smile himself.

The parents were outraged that this kid, this child, was to be in the starring role when his father had done so much to all of the parents, ripping them off. Nate explained them away, saying it was based on merit, and that his father should have nothing to do with it. He was right of course, it angered me that he had to explain that at all. This poor kid.

“Could you just please try to maybe not make this so difficult?” Nate asked Sophie.

“I can’t take you seriously with that dead cat on your head” Sophie replied.

Nate looked at me before he sat down next to her, but I only shrugged in agreement, his hair was atrocious. 

“Eliot had trouble adjusting, alright, but he found a way to make his style work in this setting.”

I recalled the last class I watched him in, he had changed from private school style athletics to combat. He was enjoying it more than he let on.

“Look,” Sophie replied, “it’s the best I could manage under such short notice. The props are made, the kids have memorized their presentations, I’m just setting it to a bit of music.”

“Listen, I mean, let’s not forget why we’re here. Let’s not lose focus. The object is to get Fowler out of his apartment, not…”

“What, not Widmark, right? He’s just the bait.”

“Well that’s not fair.”

“You’re right Nate,” I cut in, “it’s not fair. It’s not fair to Widmark, this whole situation isn’t fair to him. The way people see him? His dad thinks he’s a loser, his mom sees him like a little baby, his classmates see him as the kid whose dad is the Grinch, who took everything. He…”

Sophie finished for me, “we just want people to see him as he really is.”

“He deserves that,” I added, “Everyone deserves that.”

The night of the musical was not going as smoothly as we had hoped. Hardison was going to be the one breaking into the apartment instead of Parker because of an FBI agent with a crush, and Widmark wasn’t on his musical game. I was helping direct kids to setting up, but I was getting nervous. It all came to a head when Sophie said she couldn’t find Widmark at all. I abandoned my post to help her look.

We finally found him in the bathroom, crying to himself. 

“Widmark, you can’t let them win,” Sophie told him, “you can’t show them they’re getting to you.”

Nate spoke through the comms, “Sophie, no. Just talk to him, don’t tell him what to do or who to be. Just talk.”

Sophie lost her American accent, “I’m sorry Widmark.”

“For what?” He asked. 

“For trying to con you into being brave. That’s what I do, I’m a bloody con artist. Look, I’m not very good at being honest, not even with my friends.”

Widmark finally came out of the stall and looked between us, “Do you have a lot of friends?”

“No,” we both responded.

I leaned against the sink and looked at him, “Can I tell you a secret Widmark?”

He nodded.

“When I was around your age, I was kind of like you, nobody really liked me, didn’t have any friends. You know who I was in school?”

He shook his head.

I looked at my feet before looking back at him, “I was the kid whose parents died, and that made me the weird one. Luckily that doesn’t mean anything anymore, and we have a few friends now.”

“I used to have friends,” Widmark said, “They don’t talk to me anymore, because of what my stepdad did.”

“That’s got nothing to do with you, you know that, don’t you?” Sophie asked him.

“Then why do they make fun of me?”

“Cause when they look at you, they see him. Just like they only saw my dead parents,” I responded.

“They’re not seeing you for who you really are,” Sophie responded.

Hardison and Parker were talking on comms, trying to get Hardison broken in and past the security, but I quickly tuned them out.

“Did you know I was an actress?” Sophie asked Widmark.

“No, are you good?” he asked.

She hummed, “Well, others don’t seem to think so.”

“Maybe they just can’t see you for who you are,” he concluded.

I kept quiet, thinking that I had my moment, she could have hers. 

“You know what they say about acting? They say it’s about telling the truth, about sharing a little part of yourself that people don’t normally see. But, if you don’t- if you don’t really know yourself, then they think you’re lying… I think that’s my problem.” 

I reached out and took her hand, comforting her for being vulnerable.

“I’ve been lying for so long that… I don’t even know what the truth is anymore.”

“I don’t want to lie to anybody,” Widmark said. 

I laughed a little bit, “No, you don’t Widmark.”

Sophie stood and approached him, “You don’t have to Widmark. What you need to do is you just have to go out there, and be Widmark. Just tell the truth, be who you really are. If you can do that, then I promise you, people will believe in you.”

“Just like we believe in you.” I smiled at him as Sophie and I both exited the bathroom. 

We rendezvoused with Eliot backstage. 

“Widmark okay?”

“Guess we’re about to find out,” Sophie answered. 

The lights dimmed in the auditorium, signaling the show was about to start. Hardison told us on comms that the safe he cracked was empty, cleaned out, giving us a problem, where was the money?

“Hate to tell you this, but that ain’t our biggest problem right now,” Eliot replied.

I turned to him, “What do you mean?”

He pulled me closer to where he was standing and subtly pointed to where he was looking. Above the auditorium stood a man who looked awfully like the drawing Parker made. 

“We got company,” Eliot said. “How’d he know Fowler was gonna be here? Only ones who knew were us and the FBI.”

“Yeah, and Fowler himself,” Nate said. “Maybe we were wrong, maybe Fowler isn’t the target.”

“Then who?” Parker asked, then had to recover as she was still technically talking to the FBI agent.

“His FBI handlers. Fowler arranged to have them killed. He’s about to run,” Nate concluded.

“No man,” Hardison rebuffed, “there’s no way he could arrange that. He’s under house arrest. No phone calls, no internet, they’re even reading his mail. How could he arrange a hitman?”

“Let’s ask him,” Eliot answered. He was tracking his movements in the rafters, and pointed me over to Sophie to be a bit out of the way which I obliged. 

“Feds confiscated his cell phone,” Hardison said, “They didn’t take Widmarks.”

“Really?” I asked, “What a jerk, he yelled at Widmark for losing that… Can Eliot punch Fowler when this is over? Can I?”

“No,” Nate replied. 

“Maybe,” Eliot responded.

“Fowler’s getaway explains the empty safe,” Nate continued, ignoring us, “whatever cash he had on him, he took with him. And… I think I know where to look.”

“Wait,” Parker interjected, “Didn’t you search Fowler before he left?” She asked the agent.

“Of course, nothing on him except for that camera and some tapes.”

“Yeah, well there’s something in that bag, or on those tapes,” Nate insisted. “Sophie, y/n, can you swipe it?”

Sophie was on stage, “yes, I’m a little bit busy here.”

“You want me to do what?” I asked, I was still backstage where it was loud and I couldn’t believe what he was asking me, “I’m making my way to you.”

“Has anybody seen Widmark?” Sophie asked. 

“Sophie, the job’s over,” Nate said. “What happens from here on is not our concern. We have other priorities”

“No way, no, no. The clinic isn’t the only victim here, I didn’t prop up this boy, just to see him fail. No way. I’m not letting that happen.”

Eliot engaged with the hitman and I tried to ignore the commotion in my ear. 

“Uh, Nate?” Hardison said, “This phone has sent a bunch of text messages in the last forty-eight hours to some guy named Skylar.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah. Skylar’s a kid at this school.”

“Why would Fowler be texting a middle schooler?”

I made my way around the auditorium and stood beside Nate, “what do you want me to do?”

He held his hand up, “Nothing now.” He was looking in the audience, specifically at Skylar’s dad, “he wasn’t texting Skylar, he was texting Skylar’s dad.”

I watched as the man in question walked up towards the stage with a camera. He stumbled and picked up the camera bag next to Fowler, dropping his own. 

“Mark Sanford’s an accomplice,” Nate said, “He set up the gunman. He just traded bags with Fowler.”

Hardison wasn’t having it, “No, man. Why would Sanford help Fowler? Isn’t he one of the guys who invested with him?”

I heard Widmark over the comms, “sorry I’m late.”

Sophie responded before putting him on stage, “no, no, you’re right on time.”

Eliot was still fighting the gunman backstage of which Sophie wasn’t happy about.

“Keep it off the stage, you’re gonna ruin his big finale!”

I laughed to myself as I could almost hear Eliot’s eyeroll. 

Nate turned to me after Widmark finished his song, of which he did quite well in, and everyone was distracted by the standing ovation, “Wait here.” He walked down the aisle and grabbed the bag by Fowler with the hook of his cane before returning to me. 

We turned the corner before opening the bag.

“Ah,” Nate said, looking inside, “Hardison, are you near your computer? I need you to check a name for me.”

“Go ahead.”

“Doug Fineman” Nate said as he opened up a passport from the bag, it had Fowler’s face, but clearly not his name. “Sanford is providing Fowler with a new identity, and a new life waiting for him in…”

I looked over his shoulder, “Bogota?”

Eliot and Sophie grabbed Sanford and took the bag that was previously Fowler’s. Sophie seemed to find something she liked in it and placed it in a tape player, playing it through the entire auditorium.

Out came Sanford’s voice, “I’m just saying you can’t make the returns too consistent. Ten percent growth every year, no matter what the market does? The SEC is going to ask questions.”

Then Fowler replied on tape, “Let me worry about the SEC work.”

“But we have to be careful.”

“My job is to buy off the regulators, your job is to bring in new money. Now this whole thing goes off the rails when you stop doing your job!”

By now Fowler was trying to run through the crowd away from the FBI handlers in the audience. I took the opportunity to step in front of him with my foot outstretched a bit further than necessary, effectively tripping him.

“Oh, Mr. Fowler I’m so sorry,” I apologized with an overt sweetness as the agent handcuffed him.

“Where do you think you’re going?” the agent asked him.

Nate approached from behind me with the bag, offering it to the agent, “ja, ja… He dropped this. All of this. I thought his name was Fowler. I don’t know.” 

Once the agent took it Nate shrugged and took my arm guiding me away with the illusion of me helping him walk along with his cane. 

It sounded like backstage was taken care of with Sandford as the other agent arrested him. The agent made an attempt at flirting with Parker again while doing so, which made me smile. He was cute, I’d give him that, but the things he doesn’t know, especially about Parker, and a certain hacker…

The clinic stayed open, to everyone’s pleasure. I heard that Fowler’s wife and Widmark even worked there. Hopefully he had a better life ahead of him.

day 12/366

spent... 3-4 hours at uni for my subject registration, and in order for me to be able to take all the classes i want and need for this semester so i could end all of my undergraduate classes by november and be able to get my diploma, i still have to wait for awhile for the office of the registrar's feedback on the process my department wants to do to help me with that. it's alright, i've learned to wait patiently during the first semester anyways. what's important is i'm nearing to my end-goal (graduate) !!

while waiting tho, i was able to talk to my clinical instructor and prof for both semesters for 4th yr classes (department head) and i'm really glad and grateful to have such good mentors

my CI gave me tips and cautions for when i start my internship (e.g., if you don't know something, just ask, because it's better to be demerited for being cautious (bc different institutions/hospitals = different standards & protocols) instead of compromising your patient's health and care)

^^ she was also quick to inform me of the first institute i'll be doing my rotation on (bc our rotations consists of adult care, neonatal/pediatrics, mothership and community)

my professor for lectures and research also was quick to say he's very flexible with whatever, because my clinical research 1 would be considered as a "special class" for the sem since what's offered for 2nd semester is clinical research 2

dean, as usual, very helpful. he was the one to settle the discussion on my subjects for the sem and is very willing to talk to office of the registrar's to be able to make things work out for me ♡

overall, it was a productive day despite waiting most of the day:

walked (picked up some fallen flowers while she smelled everything) + fed luna and cleaned her place before i got myself brunch and ready to leave

left together with one of my best friends bc she has her job interview near my first stop

levelled up on my solitaire app while waiting

was able to make it home in time for prayer and worship day 4/7 (traffic was insane, left uni at 430pm and arrived home 710pm)

got stuff printed to aid my review

planned out ideal rough schedule for when i start internship bc i also have solo research and the lectures + luna to take care of, among others

already looked up how to travel from home to my first hospital rotation (there are 2 ways !!)

and so, since i was not able to get coffee within the day, by 9pm i was asleep. woke up at 1130 to eat dinner tho bc havent eaten anything aside from brunch, 2 chocolate bars and a loooooottttt of water (too stubborn to take allergy meds)

also thinking about trying to vlog my process before internship and during and after ?? i kind of want to go through this part of my life where i muscled through but at the same time i feel it would be really hectic

{All she wants to do is stare at him while he talks, she likes the sound of his voice the most.} If this trial was a success, that's good. So does it move on to bigger clinical trials or do you have to conduct a few smaller scale ones in the meantime? {The conversation distracts her from thought of him eating her food. Despite her preparation, it was a lot to have him this close. It's different than a checkup. He looks relaxed, and he's smiling. It's her second favorite part about him.} Ugh. We're not talking about my office right now. {Prison was a good word for it. She'd lied and said she had a doctor's appointment to get more time, knowing her silly little 30 minute allotment was nowhere near enough} If... if you want some fresh air we c-...we can walk around... {She tries not to think about how it looks to have the door closed with her in here, she just wants to eat her food then curl up and die, she could die happy now that she got this far.} My head's not cooperating. I wish I had half your brain. ~🏞️ (Nuuu Ily admin!)

He blinks a few times at her interest in the topic, eyes lighting up in surprise as he realizes she's following along.

Well, first, we have to send the tools back for some minor adjustments, but after that we'll do a few more test trials until we get it dialed in, and then we'll be sending a copy along with our research to Skyhaven for further testing. After that- assuming it all goes well and they're seeing the same success rates, we open to clinicals.

Greyson leans forward a bit, enthused by the topic and encouraged by her questioning. However, as he opens his mouth to continue the thought, she looks up at him with such attentiveness he finds himself briefly at a loss. She's so precious. Her eyes so sweet and earnest, glittering in the afternoon sun. How can she look at him like that so freely? Was she even aware?

I uh... I, he's floundering. Oh god he's floundering. This is.... really great by the way! I'm much more of a baker myself. You'll have to give me the recipe, assuming it's not like a family heirloom. He laughs, a little tighter and breathier than normal but he's hopeful he covered for himself.

Oh. Is work that bad? We don't have to talk about it of course but... promise me you'll take care of yourself first and foremost alright? You can always get another job but you only get one of these. He says as he uses his index finger to gently poke at the center left of her sternum.

As he finishes his meal, he begins cleaning up the tableware and utensils. Lunch was delicious, seriously. I can't remember the last time I had a lunch date that was such good company. And I could definitely use a good walk. Standing in OR for 8 hours is a lot harder on the knees than you'd think.

For a country with such a large population, there were surprisingly few infertility treatment choices. I lived in Beijing, where the most famous center was the Peking University Third Hospital. In 1988, China’s first test-tube baby had been born there, a decade after the world’s first test-tube baby. But the waitlist was long. Between 1983 and today, China’s infertility rate had risen threefold to 10 percent, on par with that of most developed nations. For a nation of 1.3 billion people, that translated into a lot of patients, and there weren’t enough fertility clinics to meet demand.

The one-child policy also skewed Jiaen’s clientele: some were women like me, who’d spent their twenties and thirties focused on their careers and were nearing the end of their reproductive years. But quite a few of the women I met at the hospital were younger, without age-related fertility problems. They were looking specifically to have twins or triplets as a way to get around the one-child policy. 

Multiples counted as a single birth, providing a loophole to those who wanted larger families but couldn’t risk endangering their careers. I talked to a Tianjin middle-school teacher who said she’d lose her job if she had the two children she wanted in separate births. She was pregnant with twins and fervently hoped they would be a lucky “phoenix-dragon” combo, a girl and a boy.

In the land of the one-child policy, the fertility wizards became kings. The number of officially licensed clinics in China offering IVF and other fertility treatments mushroomed to over two hundred, from just five in 2001, and unlicensed clinics are numerous. Sales of clomiphene—a fertility drug that causes superovulation—soared, with online prices dipping as low as $1.50 a packet. 

The number of twin births in China more than doubled over the past decade to the point where one out of eighty-nine babies born would be a twin. That’s still below the rate in the United States, where it’s about one in thirty. But while rising twin rates in America are mainly due to women having children later in life, in China the one-child policy accounted for at least a third of the increase in twins, according to a study by a group of economists from Harvard and Peking University. That means many women were deliberately having “twins” as a way of getting around the one-child policy, either by using fertility drugs or by registering non-twin children as twins. 

In 2000, for example, officials in Yunnan found seven hundred pairs of such “fake twins” in over three hundred villages. Provinces with higher birth fines had significantly higher incidences of twins than places with more liberal rules, researchers found. In Shanghai, by at least one estimate, one in every fifty babies born was a twin, according to one news report.

Remember!

[Word Count: ~600]

[Cw: slight manipulation. Visible to anons and non-muses]

Min sits at a plain white desk, in the centre of a room with plain white walls and a plain white floor. Under the cold and bright LED lights, Min's tired face appears pallid, ghostly as he stares towards the surveillance camera near the ceiling. A red pinprick light glows, slowly blinking to the rhythm of his breath, as though alive and breathing along with him. Min remembers that means it's recording. He looks down, scraping a claw against the desk's surface, waiting.

The metal door of the observation room slides open, and as Min glances up, a hopeful shine enters his eyes as he sees a familiar face. "Sparkles?"

Dr Ellie L. smiles, or to more accurately describe it, bares her teeth, but Min doesn't mind. He knows it's a friendly gesture. "Hi, Min! How are you feeling today?" xe says cheerily, taking a seat across from Min and setting down xyr clipboard, along with a warm cup of coffee.

"I'm... um... I don't know. I'm okay," Min responds, looking away to pick at his fingers. "How come you're here? That's... different. It's usually other people."

"Well, those other guys thought it would be nice for you to see a familiar face this time around," their tone is light and friendly, and Min tries to focus on that, rather than their clinical lab coat or their pen scratching against the paper. "And I thought so, too! It must be a little scary, having people you don't know poke around in your business all the time."

Min nods, quick to agree. "Yeah... I don't like it." Then he frowns, and he fidgets with the fabric of his baggy grey sweatpants. "I don't like them, either. They make me scared and... uncomfortable."

Dr Lorenza nods sympathetically. "Yeah, I can imagine it's harder for you, since... well." She lets her meaning hang in the air; they both know what happened to Min. No words on specifics are needed, just a little nudge in the right direction to get the ball rolling. "Do you think the researchers here are treating you unfairly?"

"Not... really," Min murmurs, looking away. "They're not mean, but they... they just want to study me. They're not friends. I'm scared they'll get mad at me... like he did."

"Oh, no, no! At worst, someone might get a little grumpy with you, but you're safe here," Dr Lorenza says reassuringly. "No one is going to hurt you, I promise!"

Min nods, but his fear of all the other adults around him isn't fully assuaged, Dr Lorenza can tell. Then, Min looks up at him with big, pleading puppy-dog eyes. "Am I going to see you more often now?"

The psychoanalyst pauses to take a sip of its coffee. Everything is going well, so far. She sets the mug back down. "Maybe! I can't say for sure what the bosses want yet, but I'm glad to hear I'm not scary to you. If this works out, I can try to see if they'll let me visit you more often, alright?"

"Mhm! That would be good!" Min scoots his chair closer to the table, a grin spreading across his face.

"Awesome!" Dr Lorenza smiles back, and then he flips a page on his clipboard, skimming over the set of prepared questions. "There's a bunch of stuff they want me to ask you today; are you ready for that?"

"Yeah... yeah, I think so," Min replies. If it's with Sparkles, then it'll be okay. It's safe. And maybe, if he does a good job, she'll keep coming back.

Student Loan Debt Is Not Just Useless Degrees

Student loan debt has been a hot topic in the news lately, and many people are vocal with their thoughts.  I wanted to use this post as a way to counter some of the negative comments I see about student loans using my own personal experience with my $200+ in student loan debt.

1.) “They learned absolutely nothing in college and obtained worthless degrees with absolutely no future.“

Many of those with my current education combo are nearing retirement age, and I’ve heard from several different employers (in different sectors) that it’s a growing concern that more younger veterinarians need to enter my particular field of study (related to research).  I had no issues finding a job after graduation.  Throughout my studies, I had several job offers, and I’ve still received the occasional verbal offer (”You’re a vet, our clinic needs more help.”)

2.) “Maybe they should be saving their Starbucks latte money to pay off their loans.”

I don’t drink coffee, and I don’t drink alcohol.  Yes, I will occasionally get a fancy frappe (or bubble tea), but not often and usually when I hung out with friends.  I was guilty of eating a ton of fast food during school, but I ordered things mainly off the dollar menu.  I also skipped breakfast.  Although I’d occasionally do a weekend trip (once or twice a year), I haven’t had a major vacation in many years (brought work with me if I did travel with family/friends), and I traveled cheaply.  I do have dogs, but what’s a veterinarian without a pet?  Veterinary care was cheap while I was in school since I got discounts on everything.

3.) “You signed the loan papers, you owe the debt!”

I did agree to take on the debt, and it’s my burden to carry.  I was also counseled on loan repayment options too, and I knew that income-based plans (which forgive loans after 20 or 25 years of payments) were an option.  I was also informed on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program.  I knew going into my debts that forgiveness programs existed and would be a viable option for my career goals.

4.) “If you don’t like the high cost of tuition, There are plenty other options that don’t require you to go to college and pay that much”

I came from a low-income family, and I am a first-generation college graduate.  If it wasn’t for student loans, I would not have been able to obtain my degrees in the first place. College isn’t for everyone.  Sure, there are high-paying jobs that don’t require a college education, but college definitely was for me.  Is it fair to deny me the opportunity to attend veterinary school because I was born into a family that couldn’t financially support my education?

5.) “These students who owe hundreds of thousands of dollars b/c they went to an expensive college...it's on them to pay for it. “

For my undergraduate education, I went to an in-state public university.  I was forced to attend veterinary school at an out-of-state school because my home state does not have a veterinary school.  Veterinary school is expensive, and many students are only accepted into one or two schools if they receive an acceptance at all.  Veterinarians are not paid enough for the debt they incur.  While I may qualify for PSLF, the majority of my classmates will not.

6.) “I went to school with a full scholarship.”

I had a full tuition scholarship for my undergraduate education and a partial scholarship for living costs.  It’s extremely difficult to get a full ride scholarship for veterinary school.  I don’t know anyone in my class that had one.  A lot of scholarships are geared towards undergraduate students, and the scholarships for veterinary students are limited and highly competitive.  I had a partial tuition waiver and scholarship for my veterinary school education due to my specific program, but it only partially covered my tuition.  My living expenses were 100% covered by loans during veterinary school.   I received a graduate stipend and tuition waiver during my grad school years (except my last semester), but it was not nearly enough to cover all costs (especially medical - student health insurance was awful). 7.) “I worked 4 jobs to put myself through college”

I held a few jobs with variable hours to earn a little extra income during undergrad; however, in order to remain competitive for veterinary school, I spent a majority of my time outside classes volunteering and shadowing.  This is all while pursuing a double-major and minor.  Holding a job during vet school is not feasible for most, although I did make some funds during the summer between my first and second year of school.  There was also a period of time in the lab where I was not paid, but I had to be in the lab when I was not in class.

8.) “further education is free if you join the military”

A few of my classmates did go into the army after their 1st year of veterinary school, but that program is ultra-selective and only accepts a few people a year (usually 0-2 per school).  Yes, I could consider applying for it now that I've finished schooling, but I’m personally pursuing a different avenue for loan repayment.  It’s also not a decision to be taken lightly, and it doesn’t work for everyone.

9.) “My son worked 3 jobs to pay his student loans off. If he can do it, so can everyone else. It's called responsibility “

At my current income-based payment plan, the interest I would incur is more than my payments.  I could take on a second job, but even with that, I’d barely be making much progress and would burn myself out.  I’m in a higher income bracket than I was growing up, but it definitely doesn’t feel like it.  My loan payments are on pause, but I’ve got a higher cost of living and have been working to pay off some other debts.  For many veterinarians, they are already working well past the normal 40 hours a week.  There’s no way they could take on a second job, and many veterinarians are already burnt-out from the spike in pandemic pets.

10.) “If the government wants to jump in and help with outrageous student loans, then cancel the interest. The banks still get their money, the student will still learn responsibility, and the taxpayer won't be saddled with even more debt they didn't accumulate.”

Canceling $10,000 of my student loan debt would only partially erase some interest on my student loans, so it’s not placing my educational burden on the taxpayers. Canceling all interest on my student loans would erase well over the proposed $10,000 loan forgiveness, so that would be a better deal for me personally.

And the most recent one I’ve seen: 

“So the people that have become doctors, lawyers we’re gonna cancel their debt?“

Veterinarians don’t make much for the debt they incur.  I know individuals with only an undergraduate degree in engineering that make well over my salary.  Some of them have been out of school for a while and are experienced in the real world, so I’m sure that contributes.  However, my point here is that it’s not fair to single out individuals with a professional degree.  A professional degree does not equate to a high salary in all cases.

I’m not looking for sympathy from the Tumblr world, and I know there are many who are in a much worse situation than me.  There are people who are struggling to live with their student loans.  Some of them made bad decisions in their education, but that’s not the case for everyone with student loan debt. The main purpose of my post was to point out that there are quite a few misconceptions about individuals with student loan debt. 

 I may be in crippling student loan debt, but I have a plan to tackle it.  I can handle it, and I’m not personally asking the government to forgive my student loans without me doing something to earn it.  I do, however, think student loans are in need of an overhaul (lower interest rates, revamped forgiveness programs, etc).

Fuck studying Imma ramble cause I'm over it. The first midterm for birds class and ID is supposed to be relatively easy and if it is fuck it I don't need to study, if its not, then fuck it this was the "hardest part of birds" for me so I'll just do better on the next one. My levels of shits has gone down so much with how over school I am and since working with the subsystem and realizing everyone is really over it. I have ONE last class and I can not be asked (technically two but I'm taking the other P/NP so I don't have to worry about the grade so long as I get a C- which is easy)

But honestly, our system has spent the first twenty-two years of our life being put on high pressure to keep everything perfect of the capitalistic grindset with a metaphorical knife to our throat if we so much as slip up. And this is not meant to be a brag, because I say this with exhaustion due to just how much mental illness, splitting, and pain we put into this, but we have actually managed to keep a REALLY clean and perfect track record. We have over a year of formal research experience, two years worth between two seperate labs. We have a year of clinical experience. We've maintained a perfectly clean record in terms of legal shit. We've maintained off of all addictive substances (save for caffeine). We've "gotten a good grade in healing and recovery". We've built so many skills and properly learned to self care some. We make money. We have a really good healthy long term relationship. We have some really strong healthy stable friends. We have healthy positively fulfilling hobbies. We are on our way to a career path we love and we are a very strong candidate for our ideal career.

We have worked so fucking endlessly and tore ourselves apart regularly (literally I guess) to keep this up because we could never get ourselves to fucking stop and we are so so so close to what our whole system thinks is the first time in our entire lives that we can actually take a breather and fucking just LIVE.

Running the mid to late December we are finally graduated with our Bachelors degree and we can join the work force and spend two years just fucking living before going into gradschool. I've had some classmates give me a weird look and judge cause my "gap year" is still me fully working a full time job and that is "self care" but it really really really fucking is for us.

Now that I'm writing this I'm definitely blurred, possibly temp-fused with Data - actually almost certainly temp-fused with Data. But we are so so so so so fucking just hoping that we are right that this is finally fucking live and not be in this fucking hellhole of a miserable life.

Like I (Data side) would be so fucking happy to just let this all fucking go and just fuse into the rest of the subsystem properly because we really really don't need to be holding onto our life with as tight of a grip as I / we do but until we finish this last quarter, this last year, it was absolutely non negotiable. I'm praying to whatever god I don't believe in that I am right and that my brain will let us just have two fucking seconds of life.

I don't really even know what that would look like - WE don't even know what that would look like. Having two years where the only thing on our "progress list" is just working and not having to worry about tests or skill building. There's even a chance we might end up moving across the country and live near our best bro and bring our fiance over when he can make it.

It's so incomprehensible to actually be able to just do things without it having to be a check mark in a grand miserable scheme of making sure everything is perfect and done right and that we have entire control and awareness over our progress win life. It's so incomprehensible to have so few variables to keep track of to make sure we won't be miserable the rest of our lives. It's so incomprehensible to actually be able to live and ugh.

I'm so fucking tired and burnt out on living like this. It's been 22 years. We've given enough and once we secure a job for those two years, we have officially reached the bare minimum stability that our brain can finally permit us to have the first breather we had since we came out of the fucking womb right?

My "book" says in theory yes and I pray that it is not a false hope and a lie. I've been trudging through this past month or two with the energy given from the idea that if I get this last bit done right, I can theoretically be fucking free because I succeeded. If I do, then I will cry and be more than glad to fuse which is hopefully the plan.

("also lol Riku -> Data-Riku temp-fuse -> Data caught live in ramble" -Riku back there)

I'm exhausted as shit but currently it's optimistic and hopeful positive exhaustion. I hope in the next half year that I'm not an isolated part and our system has healed enough that I don't have to be a seperate part and we (as a whole) do not have to feel the need to have someone as chronically obsessive-compulsive driven. I'd love that, both for myself (since I would have achieved the ability to let some of it go) and for the whole.

Crossing my fingers.
