Vismay had turned up at Karen’s apartment unexpectedly, hoping to give her a surprise, but he was the one who was surprised. Karen wasn’t alone. Well, she was kind of alone – there were no other humans in her apartment – but she had a guest staying with her. He’d arrived at her apartment building with a bunch of flowers, for no other reason than he wanted to give her flowers. He hadn’t done anything wrong, it wasn’t her birthday, and he wasn’t looking for her to do him a favour. He just thought it would be a nice gesture. Plus, he hadn’t seen her socially for a few days – not since she’d left the SVU offices with the android.
The first that Karen knew of Vismay’s arrival was when Charles, the security-bot, had called her to advise her that there was a Mr Rajan who wanted to see her.
