A bit of Theus’ backstory
on March 5th, 2010“ She’s been a bit useless except for being a play toy for the boys. Not one prediction. Are you sure this is what you want?”
“The little bit is perfect. Who would suspect her? She’s observant with a photogenic memory, not just visually, but viscerally. It’s worth a try.”
“She could get in your way or cost us.”
Theus crosses his arms and nods. Acario Panagakos bows his head. “This fails, then….”
Theus, “I understand.”
Theus knocks on Kassandra’s door before entering her room. The twelve year old does not look up from her desk where she has taken apart a small radio with each piece carefully laid out over every inch of the desk. Theus walks over and stands next to Kassandra.
“How much longer before you have it fixed?”
“I can put it back together in eight minutes and thirteen seconds.”
“Let’s see it.”
He times it. It takes her exactly the time she stated. Theus picks it up and turns it on, the DJ announces the next song.
“Kate, how would you like working for me instead of Acario?”
The young girl tenses at the name. Theus squats down so he his at her level.
“I’ll teach you to take apart all other kinds of electronics and use security equipment.”
She turns to face Theus. Apprehensive, he shrugs. “Or maybe you’ll teach me.”
Kassandra smirks and nods. “I’ll start with the radio.”
“First get your things, you’ll stay over at the working quarters with Contessa. Okay.”
