Leaving aside whether Anna still genuinely feels for Henrik, or whether it's guilt, let's think about what info we want from him, and when. I don't think Anna is going to be able to say at lunch on Friday "My problem is I don't know what a Reynolds Ionizer does: help?"

As I see it, the first choice is whether to tell Henrik everything, and try to co-opt him into the little group of heroes. This is is risky: he might be 3P, or he might report it to Sente/others.

But one way to go about it, and to explain why Anna has got in touch now after so many years, might be this (in brief; this isn't Jackie Collins):

"Henrik, thanks for seeing me. I've been thinking a lot recently about my life. I want to correct mistakes I've made while I still can, and to apologise for treating people badly while I still have the chance. I'm truly sorry about how I ended things. You deserved so much better. I really hope you can forgive me while I am still alive. Oh, and did I mention that I might die soon? Maybe not. But if you want to take a hint, then..."

Just because you're a devil-woman, Duckie dearest, doesn't mean Anna has to be.

Besides, I'm sure her 'wiles' will work their magic by simply having her be their. Henrik genuinely wants to do something for Anna; he wants to help. We already have that; that's in the bag. What we've yet to get is something Anna could need help with would:

1. involve the Reynolds Ionizer or open up avenues of information to us
2. be something not wanted public/something only Henrik can help with
3. be impermanent, disappearing as a dilemma the second it's all over

You all have deeeeevious little stories in your own minds, don't you?
Well, I'll be having none of that!
Go write a fanfic.

Oh let's calm down. Duckie is more or less right. More or less. All we've been doing ever with these people is sending them off to do our bidding. We've nearly gotten Kurt killed several times, and *now* we're going to start looking fFor a moral high road? Bah!

It seems to me that these lists are missing a factor, which is giving Henrik a motivation to get involved. I mean, he knows she married someone else, doesn't she need to say something that will get him interested, or is he so lame that he has been pining for her for years?

I think there is merit in the suggestion of her being more, rather than less truthful, with a dollop of "I can't tell my husband because of the family, but I know I can trust you" thrown in.

So she shows a bit of thigh in order to get some help. What's the big deal?

[duckiemonster]

And I also don't recall anyone holding a gun to her head and telling her that is the approach to take.

She seems to have decided that's the best route on her own.

C'mon Sara, you can't expect fragile, emotional women to make the right decision on their own.

It's a similar mindset which kicks out the ballsy sexually forward women in Big Brother first while keeping men who express similar characteristics in. I think 'mild misogyny' is the phrase you and psyche are trying to aviod.

Oliver's 16 coming on 13.

Yes, what example does it set to children when women start wearing perfume. Sluts, the lot of them.

But on a practical level, Caine is a usually pissed demi-rock-god where as Henrick is a sober security director. I'm guessing there's not going to be much of a personal connection compared to someone who Henrick once did the sex with.

Is it immoral to be attractive around someone you once went out with-she's not even flirting with him.
