87 STRICKLER 87

[A/N: Hi, hi! I'm so so sorry! I went home a passed out, give it a second, 88 is going to be out too (I'm so sorry!).]

DESPITE WHAT PEOPLE thought of Strickler, he genuinely hated lying. He thought it was disgusting... however, he also believed it necessary.

Unfortunately, this was one of those times. "And you're sure?" He demands.

"I wouldn't kid, Strickler." Nomura told him gravely. "He's going to kill them."

Strickler ran a hand over his mouth. "This is more serious than we thought."

"Hoped," She corrects. "'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.'" She parrots every single Changeling ever. "We have the contingencies."

"No, not yet," Strickler said warningly, though not as a threat, "He'll be on his guard at the least or they'll be watching at the most. We need to wait for him to relax."

"Walter, I'm telling you, he's not going to relax until all three are in the ground along with anyone who even heard it. He does not have the vibe of someone looking for minimal casualties." She warns him fiercely. "He will go after them and he will kill them if we don't act now."

Strickler attempted to death glare her over the phone. "I just adore how you think I don't know that," He snarls, near sneers, into the receiver. "They're my top priority, Nomura, but at least with him we know who's after them. If we kill him, if we're wrong, we don't just risk Jim's trust, we risk their lives." He hisses.

There was a contemplative silence from Nomura's end for a few moments before she spoke. "Then tell them by the end of the week or I will."

And with that there was a sharp click!, ending the call.

Strickler glared at the burner for a moment before snapping it shut and grumbling under his breath every insult he knew...
