Chapter 770 - You’ve got Eve (2) (1/2)
”That's enough.”, Aiden awkwardly said in a half-whisper after what seemed like forever in Jeff's hug.
Everyone laughed (except for Aiden).
When Jeff (eventually) let go of his brother, Aiden was grumbling unhappily while patting non-existent dust from himself. It was obvious that he is not pleased with the fact that he was man-handled. But he told Jeff that he can hug him… so it was his fault that he found himself in such an uncomfortable situation.
Jeff grinned while his wide-open eyes darted between Sarah and Aiden. He ignored Aiden's displeasure.
”Are you sure? Eve is here? What does she do?”
Sarah saw that Aiden is sulking and ignoring Jeff, so she sat between Jeff and JoAnna and started explaining: ”Eve is covering your whole property, including inside of your home. We set her up while thinking of security, but she can control anything that is connected to your network. We replaced your window and door locks and hinges with ones that are compatible with Eve… take your time to go through all the cameras and familiarize yourself…” Sarah talked about different things, including how to use Eve with a phone. She also gave them two earpieces which are similar to the ones Aiden and she have.
Sophia and Felix also have earpieces, but Sarah never saw two of them wearing those devices.
Sarah finished her Eve-introductory-talk with: ”I believe I don't need to stress how important is to keep Eve a secret from outsiders. If anyone who does not have access to Eve is present, Eve will not respond with her voice. So, it's on you not to recklessly talk to her while someone else can hear you… and in case that happens, be ready to come up with a credible explanation why you are talking to yourself.”
After Sarah finished with her explanation, Jeff looked at Felix. ”Limited access? Testing cameras? Ah?” He was referring to the rehearsal dinner, when Felix used Eve to show the video of Aiden talking to Madison.
Felix smiled. ”If I told you, I would spoil the surprise.”
”OK. Now that you know you have Eve… try it out. Tell her to do something.”, Sophia suggested.
Jeff didn't know what to ask Eve. During long months while he craved for this access, he had so many ideas what he would do… but now, his mind was blank.
JoAnna laughed seeing that Jeff is lost for words. ”Let me try first one… Eve, show on living room TV locations of everyone who tried to enter our rehearsal dinner last night without invitations.”
”Everyone will be at the resort, right?”, Sophia asked.
JoAnna shrugged. She expects that Jules will be somewhere in LA, but others should be at the resort… except…
Everyone's attention got drawn to three dots which were shown close to downtown Los Angeles, and one was in Beverly Hills.
”Eve, show names of people who are not at the resort.”, JoAnna continued.
Names were shown next to the dots on the map:
'Jules Heenan (Beverly Hills)
Harriet Morgan, Tiffany Fortin, Madison Turner (downtown Los Angeles)'
”Harriet Morgan?”, JoAnna was not sure why is that name shown. ”She is not on the list of people who were taken down by Eve.”
Aiden whispered something to Sarah, and she gave him a reprimanding look before responding to JoAnna: ”You are right, Eve didn't take her down. But, you asked Eve who wanted to enter without invitation. Harriet was at the main entrance and gave up after some verbal persuasion. I was talking to her.”
Sarah could not believe how childish Aiden is. Because he is upset at Jeff, he refused to speak (aloud), so he quietly reminded Sarah that Harriet is that young woman with whom she spoke when she went to handle the commotion at the main entrance. Sarah remembers the incident, but she forgot the name of the woman.
Jeff was looking at the map and glanced at Aiden and Felix before speaking: ”Say… isn't this the club we went to before going to Illusion Empire?”
