“Your wish is my command, Ms. Jensen,” Tom said, making a show of it like a born performer.

After getting home that day, Rebecca spent over an hour playing with Samuel, then went to find Amelia. The two strolled lazily by the garden. Seeing Rebecca’s peaceful look, Amelia asked, “Got something on your mind?”

Rebecca nodded.

She paused and then asked, “Is it wrong to doubt people who treat me well?”

Amelia raised an eyebrow. “A friend?”

“No,” Rebecca shook her head.

Amelia thought about who Rebecca had been close to lately, then asked cautiously, “Tom and Mark?”

‘Am I really that obvious?‘ Rebecca wondered. She felt so conflicted–part of her wanted to trust them, but another part was uneasy about their backgrounds. And she didn’t want her suspicions to hurt them.

Amelia shrugged, “Not really.”

Rebecca felt relieved. “That’s good.”

“So what is it you’re suspicious of?” Amelia pressed. She didn’t know much about what had been going on; since coming back, she’d left everything up to Rebecca.

Rebecca told her about her worries and the things she’d noticed.

It wasn’t like she thought Tom and Mark were bad guys. She just felt their backgrounds were a bit mysterious.

She liked things to be straightforward, with no walls or mistrust between people.

It took about five minutes for Rebecca to finish explaining everything.

When she was done, Amelia asked, “Do you want me to look into it for you?”

Rebecca nodded. “Would you?”

Amelia said, “Let’s go.”

She led Rebecca upstairs.

Amelia wasn’t one to hesitate–action was always her thing.

“Honestly, you could just let Samuel handle this,” Amelia said as she booted up her laptop, telling Rebecca about all the progress Samuel had made lately. “Ile’s already better than most hackers out there.”

Rebecca stared in disbelief. “Wait, really?!”
