The Lion's Den: Drs. Jones and Horne
By: insert name Date: June 30, 2017, 1:13 am
---------------------------------------------------------
León is cool in November. The humidity still hangs in the air,
but it's nice overall.
Getting to León wasn't simply. Fake passports, for a start.
Agent King is worried about exposure, and that means Dr. Horne
in particular, so it's hats on, sunglasses on, cheap Hawaiian
shirts and bulky obvious cameras. Plaza de los Mártires is a
large, open plaza with stunning old architecture around it.
There are flowers all over it, along with shrines and makeshift
monuments honoring the dead and imploring the intercession of
saints on their behalf.

What Jarvis West did here was monstrous. Apparent West thought
the name, Plaza de los Mártires, Plaza of Martyrs, was
hilarious. He forced people to reenact the scene of the mob
protest right there. When the police arrived, he made them
reenact the part of the soldiers. Only, after he got bored of
the gunfire, the scene got a lot more intimate. Rapes, suicides,
people tearing their own skin off with their teeth. Unlike the
big US attacks, there was no metahuman who showed up to stop
him. The whole thing went on for hours. According to the local
paper, it ended with West applauding and telling the few dozen
survivors that they were better than a movie. He handed each of
them a thousand pesos, while forcing them to try and humbly
refuse the money only to take it and thank him for his
generosity. And then, Jarvis West left.
That was September 21st. By September 24th the Mexican military
had arrived in León. According to reports West they found the
mansion West was staying in, the original family still there as
his playthings. They had orders to shoot him on sight, but when
Jarvis West walked out the front doors, no one pulled a trigger.
Instead he just walked past like they weren't there.
He went back to Plaza de los Mártires, to the screams of those
trying to mourn there. He ignored everyone and pissed on a
memorial shrine before turning to the army. He muttered
something no one made out, and the man in charge came out to
speak with him. He made simple requests, and let the man go. He
didn't kill a single military man, but they never so much as
tried to hurt him.
The present count for the death toll is 236, with another 58
people still in the hospital, 6 in critical condition. The
deaths rise to 251 if you count the victims who committed
suicide rather than live with this memory of what they'd been
forced to do.
According to Agent King, the deal with the government was
complete by September 26th. There's still no clear intelligence
where the deal went down, but all evidence suggests West honored
it.
Now it's November 18th, they're already a month behind, and
Jones and Horne are left to try and sniff out the trail. King's
still back in the states, trying to sniff out the next leg of
this. He's convinced West went South, but with the money he got
from the Mexican government he may be quiet for some time.
That's how his pattern goes. Ends up somewhere new, spends his
money and stays quiet till he's broke or bored, then ends
somewhere new again. Simple.
Before becoming a metahuman, West was a petty crook, and for the
most part his pattern still fit that, only his powers weren't
petty. The really frustrating thing is that King can't find any
evidence of West acquiring drugs. A year ago he almost died of
an overdoes, but apparently now he's so clean they can't even
lay traps round drug dealers.
In Mexico, Drs. Jones and Horne are undercover as Maxwell and
Howard Thomas, respectively, brothers taking in the sights. The
worst part is, they're far from the only American tourists
checking the place out. A few are even poking around looking for
bloodstains.

Jones walks over to the desecrated shrine with a grimace on his
face and looks around the plaza, surveying the remains of West's
deed.
"This is absolutely disgusting", Jones says with a grim tone.
"Let's get this over with and go somewhere else"
Jones turns and walks away from the shrine, lifting up his
camera and snapping pictures while he gazes back into the past,
to day when West struck a deal with the army.

Jones is going to use useful power vision of the past to watch
and listen to the details of West's deal, before following him
in car with Horne.
Vision of the past has 4 hard dice and the goes last flaw, so
Jones will succeed with 4 10s, while acting after anyone elses
actions.
