==Viktor's Office==
A man's voice, cold by choice rather than nature, rang out from the phone. "You are the CEO of Infinitus Security. MI5 are complete idiots, the lazy contractors they hire could be replaced by wet tissue paper and it'd be an improvement. You will rectify their error. This is not a question, it is a statement of fact; I do not work with anyone less than the best, which is why you were selected. Money is not an object. Meet me in three days at the address you will recieve by email in thirty seconds, come in an unmarked vehicle. If you are followed, you will die. Drive yourself personally. Are there any questions?"
==Roughly a century ago==
It was odd to sense the thoughts of a dead woman.
Regulus knew it was unlikely that she knew anything of substance about the project--once he had worked out that she was but the hapless, subject, that became clear--but it worked, blast it, and every scrap of data was worth whatever price he had to pay.
*BANG*
Apparently, this time it was his life.
Regulus calmly looked down at the blossoming crimson stain that spread through his shirt where his chest used to be. It was riddled with bullet holes, from tommy guns if the weapons carried by the suited, fedora-donning goons surrounding him were any indication. Easy exit, then, he wouldn't have to chew even if they did something foolish like dumping the body in the river. A bit early, but I would hardly say unexpected. Indeed, this one lasted me far longer than I had planned, given the circumstances.
The last thing Arthur Regulus II saw was the face of a man standing behind the ring of Family goons...a face he hadn't seen for ten years. Just the man I was looking for...
