Skeletons (Family Secrets, part 1).
Disguises were easy.

So was convincing people that they were seeing and hearing what you wanted them to see and hear.  Easy if your last name was Frost at least.  From her outpost in the black Mercedes with the tinted glass Kassia had no trouble seeing to it that Marrina got into the building with unfettered access to everything that lay beyond the security desk.  The building was empty of people, of course.  An attack of what some idiot news source tried to term economic terrorism had left the building closed for business but there was still a treasure trove of information on the inside.  Kassia was interested in two things: confirmation that her sister, Tina, wasn't inside and whatever suspicious devices and odd evidence might be there.

They bought it, Marrina.  You have complete access.  I suggest heading to the damage zone first and telling me what you see.  Or rather, thinking it.  I can hear you clear as day.

Her sister wanted a cheeseburger.  That she could hear clearly, too.  Kassia sighed, realizing there was a trip to a fast food place in her future.

Kassia maneuvered the car to the exact point Marrina was supposed to meet her at and made it in perfect time, pulling up to the intersection just as Marrina rounded the corner.

"Did anyone follow you?"

She shook her head as she got in the car.

"Nope. I was throwing out sonar signals while I was walking. Nobody even came close."

"Fantastic. We need to get these things back to the hotel and start processing them. I think I might know someone who can help us trace the origins.

"Thank you, by the way, for doing that."

"No problem," Marrina said. "What are sisters for?"

"You've got a guy for that kind of thing?" she marveled. "I wouldn't even know where to get a guy like that."

"I...have a guy for a lot of stuff. My mom was in a long-term relationship with Sebastian Shaw for most of my life. That man has more dark connections than bad electrical wiring."

Kassia certainly understood the shadier side of things better than Marrina did. And in all honesty, it would probably make her a better ruler than she'd ever be. She'd been raised by a fisherman and his wife and the only subterfuge she was familiar with had been the occasional lie to them.

"Long as it works, I guess that's the important part."

"Yeah."

She was quiet a moment.

"Did anything in there look Atlantean to you?"

She shook her head. "No. Nothing at all."

Proof of their father's innocence? Or just a need to dig deeper? She wasn't sure of much right now.

"Okay. Then I'll make some calls and get these things looked at. Maybe Dad's not behind this, but I want to be sure. You going to be okay at the hotel by yourself for a bit?"

We can only hope he isn't, she thought.

"I'll be fine. You sure you'll be okay on your own?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine."

She was bluffing. Truth was she wasn't certain if she'd be able to handle this on her own or not.

Marrina wasn't entirely sure she believed her sister, but she also didn't see much choice in the matter. Whoever it was she was going to see would probably only trust Kassi.

"All right," she said. "Just... be careful."
