Keefer and Lenna ate their lunch in relative silence. Because of Holla's unexpected visit, Keefer panicked and made some old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Only both the peanut butter and jelly were made out of imitation products. Had he known Lenna was going to be late, he'd have gone with something more befitting of a family reunion. Still, betting on Lenna being late for anything wasn't a good idea. “...So that's it?” Lenna made her inquiry without looking at Keefer. While her mood was already sour, telling her the events that transpired before her arrival hadn't made her pleased. “Well, it did happen.” “Oh, I know it happened.” “Really?” Lenna turned to face Keefer. “Yes.” Her glowing eyes made her look very intimidating. “This was originally going to be your father's apartment. Choosing to be between his daughter and some bimbo is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect him to do.” Lenna dropped her sandwich onto a plate. “ The kissing, the flirting, I don't question any of it. Maybe the seriousness of her intent, but not the actions themselves.” The overseer folded her hands together and leaned on her elbows. “I just thought you knew me better than this. Such tales do not make up for this miserable excuse of a sandwich.” Keefer was the type of person who believed in wearing a smile at all times. But he had difficulty holding the corners of his lips up to his sister. It had been a long time since they had seen each other, even if you didn't count the five years they spent in the hibernation pods. Keefer was suppose to be the overseer of his father's mining operation, but didn't like dark or small spaces. Because of this, he chose to work with his mother on the farm. His sister however adapted to her father's work better than anyone could have imagined. Because of the miner's lifestyle, Keefer's father and sister were seldom home. They were drilling all over Germany with monthly visits to the farm. Once Keefer got his carpenter career launched, he left home and hadn't seen her since. “I get the impression you're annoyed with more than just the sandwich.” Lenna sighed and let her arms collapse on the table. Keefer could tell that she was looking at the apartment. He had already grown accustom to such luxory, but the truth was that only the most wealthy got to enjoy apartments like this. The kitchen was filled with appliances, and the dining room could easily seat ten people. There was a bath that featured a jacuzzi, a hobby room with a state of the art home theater system, and of course a bed room. Keefer still had a hard time believing that most people were living in single room apartments. Even his sister did, and she had worked hard her entire life. “Our father, he really was a piece of shit, wasn't he?” Keefer was happy to entertain the change in topic. “I don't think I'd word it quite like that. I mean yea, I'm a little disappointed he didn't make arrangements for mom. I can kind of understand why he'd hate me honestly. He invested so much in me and I couldn't do the same work he could. But I was able to take his place when he conveniently passed away. So I can't really speak ill of him. At least he was thinking of you.” “Yea.” Lenna snorted. “I'll leave my wife and son to die. Then I'll stick my apartment between a slut and a personal slave who bends to my every whim.” Keefer groaned. “You shouldn't be so hard on Holla. You two actually have a few things in common.” Lenna raised an eyebrow. “Like?” “Well.” Keefer pointed at Lenna's face. “You both have your lunos on all the time.” “That's not too uncommon.” The overseer looked away from Keefer. “I assure you our abilities are vastly different. My lunos improves my thought processing. Holla probably has something that makes her look cuter.” Keefer grinned at Lenna's strange explanation. “All I'm saying is that it might be a little too soon to start bad mouthing her. You could have other similarities. If dad was as conniving as you made him out to be, he might have some leverage on her as well.” The overseer conceded with a sigh. “Maybe you're right. Awilix seems to possess it's own mysteries, and nothing is what it seems.” “Holla said something like that too.” Lenna raised an eyebrow. “Really?” “Yea, as an example of how unaware we can be sometimes, she told me the secret behind the credits of Sponge.” Lenna raised her other eyebrow. “There's a secret?” “Yea.” Keefer placed his hands on the table. “So you know how everyone thinks Holla played the roll of both characters? Well, you'll notice Master's name in the credits is spelled with an uppercase 'A' at the end. The reason for this is because Holla didn't play that character. It was actually her roommate, Hollie Anderson. So that's why... Why... Why are you smiling?” “Did you try to confirm this story?” “Well no. I mean, why would I? I had to prepare dinner and-” Lenna stood up and walked into Keefer's bedroom. He'd have liked her to perhaps ask if she could use his computer, but he was also interested in what she was going to look for. The overseer took a seat in his computer chair and fired up the video of Sponge. She then skipped past the entire movie right to the credits. [i] [center] - Slave..............Holla - Master............Holla - [/center] [/i] Keefer was shocked. “Why would she lie to me about something like that? It was so easy to check.” “But you didn't check it.” Lenna was almost laughing. “You see Keefer, it's not good enough to just have an observation. Intelligence is meaningless if it isn't backed up by facts. You'll never solve the mystery if you just take everyone's word for it. You need to find proof to give such statements credibility.” Lenna got up to leave. “We should do this again, only without the garbage sandwiches.” Keefer was still awe struck by the revelation he had witnessed. But he was at least happy that Lenna seemed to enjoy their time together, even if it ended with a laugh at his expense. But he couldn't stay here much longer. it was getting near time to go to work. He snatched up his tool bag and walked out the front door.
