Tennison Talks to Friends about Contact (Heart)

== Summary ==
Willy Tennison is a troubled soul. His father is estranged from him, and is a US Navy corporal. After readers are introduced to James Shumaker, the green FBI intern who is tasked with getting a blood sample from Stacey, Willy talks with two of his college buds over some bud lights about what he's doing with the feds: he has been personally asked to get information from Stacey. The Navy officials did this directly to spite Tennison's father, Will Sr., because he refused to work with them to initiate "Project Nullify," which was a project with the goal of causing depression in Stacey so she wouldn't ever explore her powers (the method they did this was by killing Rose). Another part of this project was to get a blood sample and spy on Stacey, which Will Sr. was against, and he refused to work on the project.
Willy Jr. tells his two friends in his dorm basement that he's working for the feds and got close to Stacey already, and one of his friends questions him, because he didn't know the government was involved. They ask about the legality of it as they play games over conversation that gets into Willy's history with his father. One of his friends, Daayon, also asks if what he's doing is wrong; it seems wrong, he thinks, particularly because Stacey knows nothing about this.
