<strong>Dominic (Philadelphia)</strong><br/><br/>Dominic tried to focus, but the storm on the West Coast weighed on his conscious.  When his conversation with Thomas Crane was suddenly cut off, Dominic had something even more disturbing to think about.<br/><br/>Dominic had met Thomas at Dartmouth where Thomas was pursuing a dual major in Political Science and Pashto.  It was not the least bit surprising when the C.I.A. recruited Thomas.  He had known he wanted to work for the government since he was elected class president at Washington High.  He had applied for the F.B.I., but the Agency got to him first.  Thomas was making his way up the ladder.  The frequent trips to Afghanistan were difficult on his girlfriend Ellie, but she knew what she was getting into when they started dating.<br/><br/>The dropped call could have been a simple technical issue.  When it came to Thomas though, Dominic did not believe in coincidences.  That was something Thomas had learned from his C.I.A. training.  Linda Ward had disappeared under unusual circumstances, and now someone that was poking into those circumstances was unexpectedly cut off before he could reveal more information.  What really worried Dominic was that Thomas was a C.I.A. agent.  Someone would have to have some real brass balls to try and silence him.  Dominic tried to convince himself that it was just a bad connection.<br/><br/>Cambridge was only a hop, skip and a jump away.  Dominic decided he would pay Harvard a visit after he finished up with his R&D department.  He hoped they had some good news to tell him about suppressing these metahuman abilities.  If the storm on the West Coast did not stop when it made landfall, a lot of innocent people would be hurt.  The Senator was right, they needed something now.
