I'll see you both later." Bert hoisted his backpack and then gave us a mock salute as he turned and left the restaurant. He was enrolled in an upper-l...evel Philosophy class, not because it was a requirement but really just because he'd enjoyed the Intro course so much. Sasha and I didn't have anything until Isakova's Econ class later in the afternoon.I watched him go and then turned my attention to Sasha. She was quiet, staring at her hand still holding onto her chopsticks, just sort of rubbing. "I've got breakfast for you guys."I hadnt realized I was hungry till then. Now I was famished. I looked over at Rhonda, she was stirring now. When I kissed her on the forehead, she opened her eyes, smiled and stretched like a kitten waking from a nap."You shower first," she offered. "I'll want to take a little time."I can do a short shower and I did this time. Ten minutes later I was sitting with Joey at the table over a plate of scrambled eggs, sausage and toast.He didn't ask personal. What about Alison?”“What about her?”“Are you giving her a copy of the encryption program before or after you deliver it to everyone else?”I started to say before, and then caught myself. “After. I want the research protected before we let anyone with any government ties know what we are doing. She worked for the British intelligence community. I don’t want to create any conflict of interest for her.”“Fair enough.”“In the meantime, I want to get four more Range Rovers and find a shop to convert. " I'd already told her about all that before you two got back," I answered.I noticed Kasey had scooted her chair closer to Cody. I think the fact he just played the whole thing off as a non-issue had taken him completely off the radar. He either completely ignored the look of jealousy on Kasey's face or her didn't recognize it for what it was. Either way, he was off the hook before he was even on the hook. There is also the slight possibility that he was a hell of a lot smarter than I gave him.
