378 Hard Realization

Leena turned on the system to look into Merl's profile. Education at Summerville school and Crystal Meadows college. 

She was about to take her mobile to text Reese but back down when Devin's words ringed in her ears. 'Someone is closely watching us.'

She keyed in the safe password and grasped the mobile she safely hid it. Her Satphone. Custom-built with robust encryption protocols. It will directly send and receive signals through orbiting satellites, and no one can track her.

She switched on the mobile and typed a message to Reese. [Reese, it's me, Leena. Did you do a thorough background screening on Merl before releasing the official letter to her?]

[Why am I receiving a message from a different number? Anyway, back to the question. We haven't yet visited her school or college, but her qualifications are good to go.]

[Leena: Can you go by yourself to her school and verify her background today?]
