And another canonized guest addition from the now infamous Antonio... (by Ed Becerra)
To: "Phil"
From: Tony
Re: Info on new acquaintance.
Normally, I'd be more than happy to give you everything we have, Phil, but there's a conflict of interest and of 'rules', if you take my meaning.
However, it's neither my fault nor my responsibility if you take the facts I can give you and draw conclusions for yourself. If the information isn't enough, please let me know, and I'll see about other possible avenues of restitution and recompense. I think you'll understand.
*ahem*
Danny's family is from Corsica. His wife's family was from Sicily. Both had connections, though they're not actually involved in this Thing of Ours.
Annette was a fervent feminist. A very fervent feminist. From Brockton Bay. All the way back to her college days, which is where Danny met her and ... helped her with a problem. Something she was involved in. Took him roughly a year or two to help her, he explained to the problem that it should go away, and that problem went someplace else and stayed there. The problem will very likely spend an entire lifetime there ;)
If, by some mischance, that problem ever makes the mistake of escaping returning, you'll know. Because large parts of the Bay will be on fire and Danny will be standing over her it's the problem's flaming bloody corpse.
I'm proud of the boy, he knows how to hold a grudge like a true Corsican, and understands omerta well.
It would help if you don't mention this to him, he didn't get over Annette's death until quite recently, and the wound is understandably raw.

PS. By the way, there's a few people who tormented his daughter recently, and due to their age and to 'political considerations', there's not much I can do about it directly. Would you be averse to taking a commission for a plan involving some subtle, mild character assassination? Cost is no object. This is a matter of Family.
