Adrian Carver sits at his desk at CNN Headquarters, opening the manila envelope and dumping it's contents on his large, oak desk. The papers smell lightly of water and metal, which puzzles him, but Adrian doesn't think anymore of it once he starts reading the flowing script inside the envelope.
Mr. Carver,
You are one of the few anchormen on television known for using your show as a platform for standing against injustice. This missive comes to you from one who shares your quest. You may be one of the few who can stand up to those who traffic in human slavery, government corruption, terrorist support and destabilization of governments world-wide. Right now, I probably sound like some manner of insane conspiracy-theorist, ranting about a shadowy group pulling the strings of your nation's politicians and lobbyists. As a journalist, you are likely to demand proof of my accusations, and I am willing to provide such to you.
Emma Frost is a member of this organization that calls itself the Hellfire Club. She also runs a school in Massachusetts that doubles as a training ground for mutant terrorists who learn to hone their abilities. Furthermore, she runs a sex-slavery ring in connection with other well-known wealthy industrialists, who I think you know when you put the pieces together. If this isn't enough, however, seek out Christina Frost. This young woman is one of the many who have been exploited by Miss Frost and her people. If my meaning is unclear, Mr. Carver, you need to understand: Emma Frost is a mutant, a telepath capable of controlling mind to do her bidding. If you allow your inquiries to be made public, expect that she will send someone to deal with you at the first opportunity.
Find Christina Frost, and listen to what she has to say...or more importantly, will not say, and be careful. The Hellfire Club does not tolerate interference in their plans. Trust no one, not even me. Find the truth for yourself, Adrian, and determine whether or not the American people need to know that mutants are trying to overthrow their government.
The letter was unsigned, and Adrian stuffed it back into the envelope. This was insane. Crazy. Outright foolish. A well-known philanthropist is actually a mutant, disguising herself as a human while pulling the strings of government world-wide? It really did sound like a conspiracy theorist's wet dream, and Emma Frost was the wet dream of most men with a pulse. Adrian wanted to laugh, wanted to throw away the letter and forget he'd ever received it. This kook would likely write in with a story about aliens next.
But...what if this kook were on to something? Adrian was well aware of what it took to hide an ability like Emma Frost's, and how careful one would have to be. What if the Hellfire Club was real, and not just the rumor he'd heard of over the years? Who else was in on it, and if they were all mutants...who else wanted to supplant the government and ruin things for everyone?
"Well, then. Looks like I need to find Christina Frost." Adrian said to himself, gathering his things.
It was time to make headlines.
