((Locked to Tom Cassidy))

An envelope shows up at the Keep, waiting for Tom to come and get it. Inside is a letter written on wide-ruled paper with a smudgy pencil. It looks like the letter was crumpled up before being smoothed out and sent.

Eamon has forwarded it to him via a scanner and e-mail. Tom's surprised the older man has learned how to use a computer so quickly. He checks it in his New York apartment, smiling slightly.

Amuro,

I'm sorry I won't be able to write too much. I've recently been in a bit of an accident and my hands aren't what they used to be.

Thank you for the letter, and I hope you're doing better as well. As long as those necessary things are done and out of the way, life should hopefully be easier for you now. And have an excellent time in Tijuana. Pick up a stuffed armadillo for me. You needn't necessarily send it.

Terry was unfortunate enough to have me in my less amiable and more foolish days. I'd hardly consider her lucky.

Best wishes,
--Tom

He finds an address, prints the letter and sends it.
