In the backyard of the sprawling estate, the kids huddled together, an island unto themselves amidst the manicured gardens. No one else was around.
How did Geoffrey find out? Was he using some gadget to spy on him?
He glanced upward, scanning the skies for drones, but found nothing.
Mossy Rock Retreat boasted state-of-the-art security systems, with guards patrolling around the clock, ensuring not even a fly could sneak in or a mosquito buzzed out. How on earth did Geoffrey know he was munching on chocolate chip cookies?
[Skyler, surprise much? I've got my eyes on you, always watching. Nothing you do escapes me.]
Skyler pursed his lips in annoyance, [How did you know? You put cameras here?]
[I've got my ways, but I'm not about to spill my secrets. I've told you before, I'm unstoppable. I can reach the heavens above and the depths below. There's nothing I can't do.]
Skyler scoffed, [Yeah, right. You're so full of it, your bragging's hit the stratosphere.]
He didn't believe for a second that Geoffrey had any godlike powers. The guy must have tampered with the systems and planted some cameras.
[Don't get cocky. We've got the latest detection equipment here, and it won't be long before we find and dismantle your spy gadgets.]
[I bet you could search for a century and still come up empty.]
[Don't overestimate yourself. You'll end up eating your words. ]
[Confidence is my middle name.]
Skyler pulled a face at his phone.
