         Desmond’s really glad the Illuminati didn’t get to him when he gets a video message on his phone. Shaun takes a look at it later and shudders, pronouncing that “it’s that bitch Kirsten Geary”.
         “Oh, come on, you’re barely bleeding,” she tells someone screaming offscreen, speaking a little louder to be heard over the screens, before she turns to the phone. “I’m a little hurt, Desmond. The Dragon poaching you from under our very noses, tut tut, so very rude, but then, they never have had much in the way of manners. You’re missing out on the best compensation plan, health insurance, and parties among the Big Three. Just know that while we can’t order our best hit squad the second you set foot in New York again—mostly because while the Council is out of touch they do know how to apply some good old-fashioned style violence when someone steps out of line—we can make your life extremely uncomfortable even without extreme measures, so consider this call your ‘come to New York’ postcard, hmm?”
         “Really, give us all some peace and quiet,” she continues, rolling her eyes, and nods at someone else offscreen. The screaming stops abruptly. Desmond swallows. “I wouldn’t worry about him. He’ll come back. You lot always do.”
         Desmond quietly resolves not to test this and also not to return to New York anytime soon if he can help it. Because he’s heard enough threats in his time, and that was definitely a threat. Also, he’s pretty sure he judged the Illuminati almost perfectly, because it’s easy to picture her as a colleague of Vidic’s.
