“Neither Masset, nor I for that matter, are satisfied with the way in which Rainar

                   and the PST’s last visit ended. Is there anyone here who can give me just a little
                   clue of what went wrong? Why was this so called Tom allowed on our premises,

                   allowed to come all the way out to the Kräsen Ranch without any of you stopping

                   him? He should’ve been observed nonstop. "
                   She speaks with a calm and clear voice.

                     “We thought he was at the hotel. None of us watched him leaving the hotel, so..."

                   Brian rubs his jaw timidly.
                     Claire turns around for a brief moment and walks to the opposite end of the

                   fitness area, grabbing a large, white towel, lying in a small cedar dresser. She
                   removes the small, grey paper cloth that the housemaid has put on all newly

                   washed linen covers. Then she walks back across the floor and hikes the two

                   steps up from the basement level and into the living room, where the two dogs
                   still waits. She sits down on the couch next to Adrian, who stares silently into the

                   air before her.

                     "The only way that Tom can have escaped must be because of a sensory device
                   that could allow him to disconnect everything, computers, phone in an radius of

                   approximately 10 meters. If my thought is real, he would’ve have gotten one of
                   the extraordinary one, that can cause a surveillance camera to freeze, making it

                   repeat the same sequence again and again. We were in the dark."

                     "Good thing, that I had Rainar in my binoculars so to speak. I followed him and
                   ended his investigation. He simply knew too much. Our livelihood was in

                   danger,” Claire continues. "Otherwise, he would have tried to blackmail us

                   instead."
                     Brian gets up and paces back and forth restlessly. He has a deep thought he

                   wants to convey, but he doesn’t know how to say it, as he rubs his chin again.

                   Eventually, he ends up positioning himself against the wall, leaning. He hates
                   making mistakes, and so do Adrian who has a similar grimace.

                     “We have made a huge mistake. Of course we should have made a better

                   surveillance of Tom, monitoring his every move. But to our defence, he is very
                   smart, quick, and for all we know, really dangerous as well. It hasn’t been

                   possible to dig up any kind of information about him, no matter how or whom
                   we asked. Neither our American or British sources could help us with; no one
