Chapter 430

• Ben saw both women were staring into his eyes. He felt terribly uncomfortable with the desperate need in their stares. "Please answer the Chief Inspector's questions. He's here to protect you... as I will," he said and felt the two women relax. It seems this was what they were waiting to hear.
• The blonde spoke first. Ben got the impression that of the two she was more dominant. "I am Sharmuta and this is Zebala," she said with a quiet, soft voice.
• Favreau froze and looked at the two women. Ben wondered at his reaction to their names. He thought they just sounded exotic.
