My Mystery
I had the most interesting conversation with Captain Hunt yesterday in the bar. He said he'd just love to talk face to face with Virgil to find out how he knows so much about him and his friends. I inquired what he would ask Virgil if given the opportunity.
He replied he'd like to know who exactly Virgil is, and how he seems to know so much about his friends and himself.
Ah, I love a good mystery, I replied with a smile. He laughed and asked if I knew anything about Virgil. I raised my hands in defeat and let out a laugh.
Gizem, he said, you're a mystery yourself.
Don't all Seefrans have mysteries they wish to hide, I replied.
His friend, Harper, was giving me death glances ever so often. I offered him a smile which was returned with a glare.
I wonder if he thinks I'm trying to bring down Captain Hunt or take over the Andromeda. The arrival of his friends interrupted our conversation. We went through the polite formalities before Trance asked me a slightly personal question. This stopped me in my tracks.
We all have our mysteries, Trance. If we all told our secrets then where would be the fun in life, I offered with a smile. This seemed to satisfy her but her colleagues seemed to want answers.
What corner did I paint myself into know, I thought.
I'm sorry, I said, but I really must go. I hope to talk with sometime later.
I rose from my seat and walked out of the bar quickly.
With a sigh of relief I settled myself back in the studio.
I really need to be more careful next time I'm around Captain Hunt.
