Chantry eyed her speculatively, as a quirky grin played about his lips, "That was Elon Gideon."

"Our security stopped working, but now it's back. How is that possible?" She asked in concern.

Chantry gazed out into the evening gloom, "Elon has refined senses and abilities that the rest of humanity has either forgotten or genetically lost the ability to use."

"What is he to you?"

"He's the man who gave me a job and coincidentally the man who told me to hire you against my better judgment. You see I knew your back story was an elaborate cover from day one Maria, but he told me to hire you anyway. Elon is even more of a mystery than you are my darling."

Maria looked like she wanted to say something, but she pulled it back and walked away toward the house not saying a word.

Chantry watched her go, what a pity. He'd been hoping to discover more about her. It didn't matter really; she was someone else's concern now.
