I contacted one of her former roommates� a dancer, as Ardwell wanted to be once. The woman told me Ardwell tried hard, but just didn't have a feel for it. "I got the idea she didn't think very much of Hopea, although she didn't give me any specific evidence." "Strange," Goodnight said. "Going from prancing around into Intelligence." "I asked," Grok said. "She said it was secure. Almost as secure as finding a rich blind man." "Interesting," Goodnight said. "Somebody who thinks like that might be eminently corruptible." "That, I think, was what Balalta was trying to imply to Freddie," Riss said. "Which might mean Torguth figured out the same thing. And it just might be that her roommate doesn't like our Hopea any longer because she had eyes for the roommate's romantic friends." "Maybe," Grok said. "But I'm still hitting zeroes." "What does Sufyerd think of her?" Goodnight asked. "I think he is a little bit afraid of her," King said. "Sort of like a man who has a jealous wife who thinks the worst of any of her husband's workmates who're prettier than she is, and so he runs like the wind any time they're alone together." "I don't understand why you humans seem hell-bent to mate with anyone other than the person you contract with," Grok said.
