"Done, and done," spoke Heinz to Silas. "Your friend will be recieving your payment soon." He then took out his smartphone and began the necessary calls. At the same time, though, he observed Ascot, Amelia, Amaya and Rose out of the corner of his eye, and was glad that all four were well. There was yet another moment of regret; regret for what he had done to his nephew, but, for now, he was happy they were alive.

"Hello, Amelia," spoke Ascot, "I see you're doing well; I'm glad of that." He then looked up to Rose. 

"If there's anyone I would trust, other than myself, Joshua, or Uncle to protect Amelia, it's you. Thanks for taking care of her." In Ascot's mind was the idea of further expanding Amelia's circle of friends and trusted people, something that must be done delicately, so as not to scare, or worse, alienate the girl.

"Conor," Heinz responded, "If you want Omega to join your fighting club, ask his handler; Omega himself is a tad bit asocial. A bit sterotypical, really." Unlike Thaz, Heinz rather liked Conor, not just for his fighting skills, but for the brash, unjaded spirit that he brought into Agency interactions and operations. That, and Conor reminded the man of Ascot's parents; his brother and his sister-in-law.

[i]Arthur, Marina, I'm so sorry,[/i] thought Heinz. As he watched the Agents leave to begin their interactions, the man saw...himself walk over to his position. It appears that his simultaneous trip to the President's office had succeeded. Heinz, with a casual nod, fused with his alternate self, gaining the memories of said self thanks to the melding.

Tangent: The ability to appear at different places at the same time uses Timespace, but without Mind or Life, one can only act through one 'body'. Heinz had mastery of all Nine Schools, with Bureaucracy as the reason why he wasn't able to solve everyone's problems for them; same for President Addison. Anyway, point was, Heinz was powerful enough, and had the appropiate Schools, to appear at different places at the same time, while others didn't.

Meanwhile, Ascot walked over to Conor, and spoke:

"Hey, why don't you teach me some of your moves? My Eskrima training's been lagging since the last few missions."

"The Statue of Liberty Defaced!" screamed headlines, TV news shows, and the net. On TV news programs people were being interviewed.

A black construction worker looked angry, "How dare someone deface the Statue of Liberty! If I find out who did this I would [Bleep] that guy up!"

The news cut to an Asian American woman. "I am angry, why would anyone do such a thing?"

An older Philipino man, "Why would any one do such a thing to my adopted homeland?"

Across America similiar questions were being asked by all peoples, mundane, magic users, of and everyone else was forthing at the mouth about whom deface the statue of liberty.

In Washington, President Michelle Addison walked into the Press Room. "Good Afternoon. I will make a statement and take no questions. Earlier today an unidentified male defaced the Statue of Liberty. I have instructed the FBI, and other Agencies to find the person responsible and bring them to justice. I make one warning to the person responsible for this act on the very symbol of liberty in this nation. Run and hide. Find a hole in the Himilayas and never come out. If you do you're head will be on a pike. I hope his head ends up on a pike. Good day." The President left the room.
