by the health market to pick up
some milk, I hope that’s ok?”
“ Sure, I have time, if you want we can even
eat there, they have a buffet right?”
“ They do, but I’d rather not, they just hired
this new cook and I’m not overly fond of his current
spread.”
“ Why go there at all? Just pick
up your milk at a closer market.”
“ Because they’re the only ones in
the area that carry organic milk.”
“ You got to be kidding me right, organic milk,
does it really matter?”
“ Are you aware of all those
hormones they put into processed milk?” asked Spencer.
“ You’re crazy, but if you’re
right the last thing you need are more hormones.”
“ Was that supposed to be funny?”
asked Spencer who was not amused.
“ Supposed to be? There is no
supposed to be about it. That was a rib cracker,” said
Reece.
“ Rib cracker, really? That’s the
best you can come up with?” asked Spencer as he nodded his head in
disbelief.
As they pulled out of the parking
facility, Spencer noticed another security checkpoint ahead.
“What’s this, I have to go through security again? That’s
new.”
“ Yeah, don’t worry it’s much quicker, they’re
just scanning to make sure you don’t have any of their technology.
When you were coming in, they inventoried the tech that was in your
vehicle and on your person. They just want to make sure you didn’t
accidentally inherit anything new,” explained Reece.
“ Well, I guess I can see their concern,” said
Spencer.
“ Oh, crap!” shouted Reece.
“ What?”
“ I hope that steganography program I installed
works and they don’t discover Adam’s schematics that I downloaded
to your PDA,” said Reece in a concerned voice.
“ Are you crazy? You did what? What were you
thinking?”
“ Wow,” said Reece.
“ Wow, what?” asked Spencer.
“ I can’t believe how gullible you
are.”
“ That wasn’t funny.”
“ Yeah it was!” laughed Reece.
“ No, it wasn’t. What’s
steganography again?”
“ We need to send you to a advanced forensics
class. It’s when you hide digital information by embedding it into
seemingly harmless computer files, like photos. It’s mostly
designed to supplement encryption. It’s like hiding a picture
inside of a picture and the viewer will only see the picture they
were intended to see,” explained Reece.
“ That’s right,” replied Spencer
in a sarcastic tone.
“ You asked.”
“ I did, didn’t I?”
As they drove forward a reddish
looking transparent wall passed through them. Once the scan was
completed, a green light lit up, and they proceeded
forward.
“ That was much easier then arriving. Does this
mean I have to go through this all over again when I drop you back
off?” asked Spencer.
“ Yes, but don’t worry I won’t charge you for
fixing your personal electronics.”
“ Point taken,” said Spencer.
After their new route was
programmed in, Reece inquired on why Spencer was driving. Spencer
gave his usual spiel about not wanting to be so dependent on
technology, but conveniently left out the fact he allowed his car
to drive him whenever he drank his coffee.
While in route to the health market, Spencer and
Reece bantered about their college years and how Spencer’s brain
was like a sieve, and how Reece tended to be more of the social
butterfly.
“ I just never understood why you always
decided to stay in and study,” commented Reece.
“ Well, unfortunately for me I
didn’t have a photographic memory like some people.”
“ It’s tough being you, I see that now,” smiled
Reece.
“ You try raising a child and work a full time
job,” harped Spencer.
Reece sarcastically replied, “You
had to raise a child and work full time while you attended college?
I wasn’t aware of this. That would explain why you didn’t attend
any social events.”
“ Really funny,” said Spencer.
“ Oh, relax I was just joking.
Your life isn’t as bad as you try to sell it.”
“ I
