"He trusts you," said Sean as he peeked up from behind the laptop screen. I looked upward from my phone and stared at him, startled. "He's a tough cookie, but you cracked the code. You did what he couldn't do. You've earned his respect and inadvertently, his trust." He continued as I stared at him for a moment longer and said, "You sure know how to get the news across." He smiled and rubbed his eyes- after he had left his laptop on one of the many tables- and cracked his knuckles. His smile widened as he leaned back in his chair and took a sigh of relief.
"You're pretty cool when you don't intimidate. That trick with the Morse and stuff was pretty neat." I rolled my eyes at the boy. "Before I forget, Anthony just pinged me to let you know that he wants to meet you after you're finished with your work here." I raised a brow at him, earning a nonchalant shrug. "Don't know. You're not doing much anyway..." he eyed me suspiciously and asked, "What are you doing here, exactly?"
