Kenzo listened and watched her as she spoke, taking care not to intrude on her emotions too much… but the lack of emotion sent alarm bells ringing in his mind. When Eela finished talking, he let quiet hang in the air for a long time before speaking. Like her, he looked out over the city and not at her.

“You say you are looking for a clue… a clue for what? Do you think his death is the result of some conspiractorial act? You say someone from his past showed up.” and he sighed. “It does not take a great leap of logic to deduce Mr. Jones’ past was a… ‘colorful’… one.” He then turned to look at her. “All the more reason for you to keep your distance. We are exposed here, Eela… you and I. This is the most precarious position we have ever been in thus far. So we need to keep our involvement as minimal as possible. Allow the police to investigate. Let the evidence be gathered and allow it to speak for itself. You and I both need to take great pains to ensure that there is no justifiable cause to accuse of meddling in a Police matter.He looked backout over the city. “You must leave it alone, Eela. For now. But I assure you you will be present at all of the briefings surrounding this.”

“Oh, I have no doubt they’ll be questioning me sooner rather than later. It’s no secret we were seeing each other. Hell, we made a very public outing of our first date Besides, I was one of the last ones to see him alive. He left my place, oh, what, four hours ago? If they don’t come talk to me, they’re idiots. The clue I need to figure out is what he was going to tell me. What had him so uneasy? It was an anomaly and it’s sitting very weirdly with me.”

Kenzo took a breath and exhaled slowly. “You are in crisis, Eela. I can feel it. Even if you could be a part of this… you can’t like this. You won’t make sound judgements. And sound judgements are what we need the most of right now.”

Kenzo

She sighed. “Well I can’t sit around my place doing nothing. That’s not helpful either. I’m going in to the office. They can find me there when they get to it. Besides, Cort, Elema and Sherri should hear the news from me first. We should also talk to Mathis and Caputo about an official statement. It makes sense for Caputo to do so, to give Jeanette some time for herself to-” Eela was interrupted by her comm chirping and she pulled the earpiece out of her pants pocket and activated it. “Dasca.”

She inhaled deeply and looked at Kenzo briefly. “It’s Dee.”

Kenzo nodded and looked away, giving her a moment of psuedo-privacy.

“No, I’m not at home, sorry about breakfast. I’m with the Governor right now. We’re dealing with a situation… Mhmmm… No I won’t make it back to my place, but Dee, I need you to do something for me… I need you and Kian and Alais to stay in the building today. You can use the pool and I will have security let you into my place. You can take Alais to play on the patio if you like… No, things are not okay right now. I just need to know you are all safe and that will help me a lot… Thank you. I’ll call you a little later… Love you too. Bye.”

Eela pulled the device out of her ear and simply held it in her hand. It was a little after 0600 and it wasn’t a terrible time to go into work. It’s not like there wasn’t a pile of stuff waiting for her anyway. It was a Monday afterall, and after the gala.

Kenzo looked at her and said “I would strongly recommend you do not stay in the office. Speak to your staff, of course. But again… you are not in the right frame of mind to be dealing with colonial matters, Eela. I can feel it… even if you do not.”

Kenzo

She almost, almost rolled her eyes at him but instead Eela threw her hands out to the side. “What else am I exactly supposed to do then?” She sighed. “Fine. I was going to check on the Mathis’ anyway. I go see them after I’m done at the Tower. What do you think about having Caputo make the statement though?”

~Eela

“I agree. She would be the most impartial, and is more adept at dealing with the media pushing for answers that we simply do not have yet.” He stood up and offered her a hand. “And when you are done with the Ambassador, perhaps you and I should meet with Ambassador Kek. Let him know that something has occurred as well.”

Kenzo

She took his hand and hauled herself to her feet, the familiar whir of her brace sounding. At least for the moment she was running on adrenaline and the little sleep hadn’t caught up to her. Besides, she had spent most of her life living with an unpredictable schedule, so her body was all but trained to function when it might not be otherwise inclined. Eela nodded. “Alright. I’ll let you know when I’m free to see Kek.” A part of her momentarily wondered when the police would get around to her. She imagined that it would be an interesting game of timing.
