(Male voice) Bianca, this is your... this is Uncle Evan. I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet. Anyway, in a couple of days you'll get a cashier's check in the mail. Don't be afraid to cash it. Its good money, legal, and mine to give. It might seem like a lot but its really no substitution for what you should have had from me all of these years. Okay, I have to go. Remember, you are loved. I love you. Goodbye.

A female voice leaves a message in Chinese (Cantonese?). You can hear airplanes in the background.
We need to move; I'll help you if you help me. We must stop them -- if we don't do this today, we'll be doomed tomorrow.

____('s?) daughter. Frankly my father intentionally brought us on a perilous path of no return. As a daughter I have ____ more than my father all this time. For the world we both have had to change. I will help you(?) But you must help me to find the others. We must tell them about your plan and convince them to stop him. Believe me, Master Tsao, if we do not fight this battle today, we will face a more dangerous war tomorrow

Victor’s Email to Cathy:
Cathy, if you are writing this address, it means you haven’t heard
from me for three days and the odds are - i’m dead. for real this time.
And on the Third day, cometh she to the sepulcher but the stone was
still there and she could not enter in.
dead.
How strange it feels to even write that word, after all the lies, the
deaths i faked and the ones i caused - i stopped fearing death a long
time ago; stopped wishing for it a few decades after that.
You remember the day i saw you at the burger barn? we had just made a
breakthrough in the lab and i was - Euphoric. Making ordinary people
immortal, that might still be years away. but the opposite--*Ending*
immortality - that i think we can do. . i think someone in lu’s lab
has produced a serum that can make death a possibility again, even for
us. even for me.
Remember the night we sat together on tirehenge and you told me about
your father, and i talked about the Great war, world war one, this
massacre in armenia, it think it was. bodies scattered on the plain.
Each one empty. broken dolls. cracked cups.
listening to you that night made me fear death again and i am so grateful.
as i write this i am terrified, and i am so glad to be afraid: to
care enough to feel my heart pound at the thought i might never see
you again. since i met you, life has become precious for the first
time in a long time.
to live one year that matters is worth more than a thousand numb years
of mere gray existence.
Now, you have to listen to me, Cathy. Your life depends on it,
because Ancestor lu has hired the lucky joy cleaning service
Guard yourself. these people are killers. they do the *other* kind
of cleaning - buildings burned down, people made to disappear. they are
the best, most professional black ops you can buy. instead of name
tags or badges, they all wear a certain lucky charm. it looks like a
chinese coin, one of those ones with a hole in the middle.
Anyone approaches you wearing one of those, you run and keep running
until you are in a public place with lots of people around you.
also--
someone’s coming. I have to stop.
Never forget that i loved you very much.
victor
p.s. - you have sharp eyes. use them on this letter
