[Edward and Luke are not the only members of the Nigma residence at the bank tonight. On a particularly dark street, Slugger stands where the light of street lamps don't reach. Neither one of them knows he is here and such is the way he intended it. He came to observe and to wait for the right moment in which to act--preferably at a time when Luke and Edward are separated, but presently he stands with his eyes closed as a building headache begins to blur his vision.

He sways once, then sits to cradle his head on his knees. Until it passes he can't do anything. So he waits in silent agony while he relives the sensation of his brain attempting to herniate out of his skull from radiation poisoning.]
