Ian’s Mosman’s residences had unofficially become Sydney’s Espial headquarters.

We were studying the screen and listening to Erica’s operation with Fiona, trying to figure out who the third party was. The bedroom had a similar resemblance to that of a teenage – the computer on the queen-size bed with the three of us seated around it. No real info
