[ Sharon knows the consoles are compromised, but she's concerned and wants answers now. She'll just be careful with what she says. ]

This is Sharon Carter. Anyone with information concerning Monet St. Croix, please see me in WA-1D. Please do not post any information on the consoles and see me directly.

Thank you.

[ Sharon frowns. The girl had gotten here safely enough, but that didn't guarantee a safe return. Still, she can't force herself upon the girl. It would only draw more attention. ]

Are you sure? There's been more gang activity, and with the Enemy making moves...

[ Of course, the plan is shaping up to be tailing Midii. From a distance. To make sure she got home okay. ]

[Well, Sharon wouldn't be the first to do so....]

I'm sure.

It's still safer than the world I came from. Besides, I know where most of the gangs tend to gather. None of them go near any of my usual routes.

[ Following it is. ]

Did Monet mention any friends? Maybe I can ask them directly, see if they know anything.

No, she didn't.

Most of our conversations usually involved strategy games, or things happening around the City. She was somebody I knew I could go to when I needed help.

Strategy games? Like chess?

[ Sharon steps out and locks her door behind her. Sorry, Midii. You're getting a companion for the way home. ]

[Stubborn.]

[But so long as it appeared under the guise of continuing their conversation...Midii wouldn't say anything. Yet.]

That was our main game, yes.

My papa taught me how to play when I was a little girl, but I hadn't gotten the chance for a long time before she offered.

If you like, I haven't played in a while, but I could use the practice. If you wouldn't mind playing against me sometime, I mean.

[ She grins. ] At this point, you're likely better than I am.

I wouldn't mind at all.

We won't know until we actually play, won't we?

I trust you won't hold back.

[ Sharon doesn't get the impression that Midii goes easy on people. ]

My victory wouldn't be as sweet if you did.

[ Ha. If she wins. ]
