A Pull of Threads

[Jay Carpenter]

Well well. Jared was something of a ladies man after all. Jay kept his smirk hidden, but he was plenty entertained by the flirting going on between Jared and Lawrence. He even pinned down a pet name.

Jay wasn't much for political stakes, but a reporter digging into Jared's secrets was probably not the best for the Legion. Although Danjou seemed keen to make sure Lawrence was given full access to all things Legion, even inviting her, and a few other reporters, out to the refinery. To do what? Document the massacre he was planning? Was it part of his plan to unveil secret-weapon Jared Vanders to the press all in one day?

Nah. That was far fetched, even for Jacques.

Jay's laugh cut in. He had the perfect excuse for Vanders. "Sorry to tell you this, but you got it all wrong Laurie,"
he added a wink to her nickname. Although he kind of preferred Lawrence. "Vanders is Wizard. It's his name. We all have names we go by. I'm Hollywood,"
he flashed a grin and nodded. "Otherwise known as Jay."


That should do the trick. "But you'll have to ask him about how he earned the nickname."
His smirk cut toward Vanders.
