Chapter 44
INT. - JULIAN BLACK'S MANSION to EXT. - KINSEY'S CAR - AFTERNOON
Kinsey had no idea how long she spent in the room, documenting the pieces. Only that Simone remained with her. The woman insisted, when Kinsey tried to take her notes with her, the anthropologist leave them behind. And yet, when Kinsey asked if she required a non-disclosure agreement, Simone waved it off.
"I wouldn't have asked you here if you weren't trustworthy," she said, making Kinsey flare with guilt over her plan to smuggle out photos if she could. Not enough to end her covert plan, mind you. Her curiosity was far too powerful. "You can have full access to our closed computer system," Simone said, taking Kinsey's recorder from her hand, her notebook. "We have a vast library, but the system is self-contained. My clients insist on privacy. I think, once you begin your translations, you'll understand why I must insist all reference to these artifacts remain here, in this room."
