Cynthia: Ligatio

The agents of Homeland Security were unimpressed with my counterfeit act of compliance. Jeffrey remains incarcerated. I do not know what else I can do to free him, and feel more helpless than ever on the matter.

With all of the events pointing firmly towards Japan, I am considering hiring a private jet and flying there to join you despite the obvious risks. I simply feel that whatever resolution is going to come will come there, and soon.

Pierce: Cease And Desist

Joshua Howland and Mary Stroud, you have one chance and one chance only. Proceed immediately to an office supply store and purchase a large shredding machine. Shred every single page in Doctor Yoshida's file box and ship the destroyed remains to Cynthia's house care of Agent Pierce. There will be no negotiations or bargaining.

Cynthia may be under the impression that her life cannot get any worse, but as I think we all know, she's mistaken. Life in a mansion and life in a penitentiary serving time as an accessory could not be more different, even in her condition.

Do the right thing and do it now. You will be found and you will be caught, and in the meantime Cynthia and even Jeff will be put under arrest if I don't get those shredded files by tomorrow morning.
