I never saw my partner again and figured he shared Faraday’s gossip with the top brass. Not that it got him anywhere. He was on the end of my scope a month after your mom. If my rep wasn’t what it is, I don’t doubt they’d have killed me off too.

Not that they didn’t try in New York, but that was another sin. Christ, I’ve committed so many that they’re difficult to keep track of.

Maybe this brings you closure, maybe it doesn’t. I figured you’d want to know—I would. Should have told you that day we met at the black-site hospital, but you know how it goes—we don’t share; we hoard intel.

Aoife’s not letting me get away with that, and seeing as you’ve been so good with her and seeing how she considers you to be one of her best friends, I wanted to share what I knew.

Your mom wasn’t a good person if she worked for Jorgmundgander, but she tried to stop a bombing where two hundred and seventy innocent people were killed. I think that makes her a hero, especially as she paid for it with her life.

I doubt that’s any consolation to you, Star, but it would be to me.

All the best,

Dagda

NEW INSIGHTS REVEALED INTO LOCKERBIE BOMBING

With the latestrevelations into the United Brotherhood’s and New World Sparrows’ activities, the depths of their depravity should come as no surprise.

The Lockerbie bombing, it has been revealed, could have been prevented.

A tip-off was sent to multiple agencies warning of a potential strike against the doomed flight.

Worst of all, the tip-off was sent from CIA agent, Casey Sullivan, wife ofnoxxiousband leader, Gerry Sullivan. It is unknown how Mrs. Sullivan was aware of the threat to the Pan Am flight, but her death was, until recently, also shrouded in mystery.

While Interpol’s Special Trafficking Unit has confirmed that Mrs. Sullivan was murdered, they have not said by whom. Leaked documents sent to theCity Timesuncovered a NATO-run military operation by the code name Jorgmundgander which both organizations used as their own personal armies and who targeted Mrs. Sullivan in a direct attack.

Sullivan, it appears, fell out with the leadership of Operation: Jorgmundgander over the terrorist attack and parted ways withthem. The timing of her death, years after the bombing, remains a mystery.

Sullivan, who also went by the name ‘Galena Kuznetsov,’ has a muddied past with ties to both the United Brotherhood and Jorgmundgander. She is the mother of Star Sullivan, who, theCity Timescan reveal, is a key source of intel for Interpol’s STU.

Our journalists are working around the clock to investigate the leak which consists of tens of thousands of documents.

“You look gorgeous,”Camille declared, sniffling as she finished touching up Kat’s makeup.

“You do,” Aoife agreed as she stopped doing this twisting thing with her hair that put it in a better braid than I’d ever been able to achieve.

I didn’t want to stare in the mirror.

If I did, I’d see my little girl.

All.

Grown.

Up.
