[Gossip Times insert: Photos of Thomas Brandon, Roger Darman and Luke Henry in the waiting room of a local hospital, alongside a photo of Luke Henry and Audrey Main speaking, with Audrey looking distressed. The article that follows states that the sister of Thomas Brandon's girlfriend, Audrey Main, delivered a baby earlier the previous week. Included are reprints of Thomas Brandon, Max Main and Roger Darman at Thanksgiving. The article continues to speculate on everything from paternity, to Luke's possible connection to Audrey, who has also been linked to Orin Monarch.]

[The morning papers, radio and news on Thursday spotlight a few key stories:

→ Anton Sparke is back in Seattle. There are multiple photos of him around town, entering and leaving buildings, and tons of speculation about the women in his life. → Anton Sparke reportedly turned Orin Monarch away at Sparke Industries. → Daryl Hockney and Adam Morgenstern are back in town, after making their relationship official before Valentine's Day and after Daryl's near-death experience. The tabloids are predicting wedding bells and looking for a baby bump. Various images appear with Daryl wearing various different outfits, to that end. → The Mayoral candidates will be announced shortly. → A blue woman was seen accosting someone in Rainier alley along with an un-named mask. Bad drawings of Nightwing are included. → A thief was thwarted at Thornewood Castle by two members of an ghost hunting organization called EIT. Includes pictures of Shiloh Preston and Eli Pride. → Audrey Main was seen walking into Monarch Industries. Speculation abounds about which of the two men she is really sleeping with, and which she is merely spying on. → Before attempts to silence it entirely were successful, certain eyewitnesses at Virginia Mason hospital claim a blonde woman was healing people in the hospital. There is much religious speculation on this front.]

[There is a building going up in downtown Seattle. It has been going up quietly for the past month, but work has sped up in the past week. There has been work done around the clock, and now people are filing in and out daily. The building appears to be a bank, one specializing in storage of very expensive things, offering high security vaults that are exceptionally guarded. There is no sign over the door. It is as large as any of the large companies that surround it - Thomas, Inc, Monarch Industries, Sparke Industries, H&M - and the first few floors are, indeed, vaults. On Wednesday, it appears to open for business.]
