Hello Jed, this is your wake up call
In the aftermath of the Battle for Roger and the World, as a certain group of paranormals had taken to calling in (Instead of the "Ultra War"), Morgan had left the safe house the others had been shunted to and gone to Montauk. It had taken a few days, but she'd seen Jed on the news - not that she'd really doubted his survival. But he was up and around, which told her he could come looking.
And as she wasn't 'at home' - this should have been the next place to look. But after a few weeks, he didn't. But no one from Ultra showed up either. Which meant, he was coming, nor was he sending anyone after her.
Marla had allowed her to crash with them for a week after she'd left the lakehouse, in which time Morgan had at least gotten herself established with medical care. What she hadn't told Marla, or Stephen, was that she'd also been poking around Jed's properties. Or some of them. Most were commercial in nature, but there were some that were mixed use. Older buildings with storefronts on the first floor and apartments upstairs. Some, he had managed under a company. Some - few - he didn't. But they did have power. And she found one, an older building but with security cameras and the like and had talked Tim into helping her set a laptop up to monitor it. Between that, various transactions to get false IDs for everyone, and raiding the cash stores she knew Jed had (not all of it, but some, from each and all of it from the ones he had told her were her's) they would be ok.
Not that she invited anyone with her at first. She tested the property and such out for a few more weeks. But then, she'd gone back. Invited Irene and Charlie to come with her, invited Clari to stay. The younger girls needed (and deserved) something much better than safe houses and hiding underground. And she was just old enough to have been their mother, with the right father (also why she'd taken the picture of her and Jed with her) to skate questions, and Clari well.
She was her friend. More than anything, she was her friend.
But midway though her pregnancy, she was having to face a few hard truths:
Jed wasn't coming to look for her.
She couldn't do this without help -
-and leaning on one young woman and two girls was fair to noone.
Which is how she found herself warning Clari, but not Irene or Charlie, that she was going to go confront Jed, when and where, and how Morgan would contact her if things were ok. If they weren't, by a certain time, ways Morgan knew into Jed's apartment without tripping Ultra's sensors. And that he had a rooftop pool. Do with it what she would.
Jedikiah meanwhile, would find a message for him from a confused receptionist, that an Ms Anna Hare was waiting in his office for him, to consult with him about something genetic, refereed to him by a medical staff he did have professional ties to.
When he opened his office door, there'd be a seated woman, with dark brown hair, in a green short sleeve sweater with her back to the door. A stockingnet sleeve covered her lower upper arm.
