Once he was dressed for party, James decided to do go down and do his own security check.  Look over the guest list, and do a sweep of the grounds.  It wasn’t strictly speaking his job to do these checks.  Cassandra had armed security which she paid handsomely for their services.  Still he had something that they didn’t.  Superhuman senses that allowed him to pick up thing the normal human senses might miss.  The party wouldn’t start for another couple of hours and the weather was nice for a change in the normally rainy city of Seattle.<br/><br/>He decided to walk the perimeter his nose going trying to pick up the point where the intruder had entered.  No matter how good he was unless they could fly he knew that they would have to have entered somewhere and if his hunch was right about the super being able to phase through walls it could be anywhere, and he would feel much more comfortable if he knew where.<br/><br/>He waved at members of the security staff as he made his rounds.  Most of them he was on at least a first name basis with most of them.  He usually ran laps around the large perimeter to keep in shape.  The landscape was beautiful here with trees and scenic views of Mount Rainer in the south.  One would hardly know that they we’re only a half mile outside the city and not far outside the grounds was a clearing on the hill that over looked the city and on clear days like today you could see the boats out in the Puget Sound.<br/><br/>Although his walk of the perimeter was ostensibly for security purpose it was not the only reason he had decided to walk it.  His mind was buzzing with questions.  Cassandra would want answers sooner or later about what had happened in her room earlier, and even if she didn’t ask him, he knew that he had to make a choice.  If he loved her, which he did then she needed to know the truth about him.  Relationships based on secrets and lies we’re doomed to fail, and he didn’t want to lose her because he failed to open up to her.<br/><br/>One of the security guards waved at him breaking him out of his thoughts.  “How you doings James?” the guard who’s name was William asked.  “I’m surprised to see you walking the perimeter right now, I thought you would be getting ready for Mrs. D’Arque’s party.”<br/><br/>James smiled at Willie, he was always good for conversation when he wanted someone to talk to.  He was an avid sports fan loving everything Seattle sports even though none of the major teams in the city had ever won anything.  “You know me Willie,” James replied shaking his hand.  “I’m always paranoid, just checking to make sure their aren’t any holes in the security.<br/><br/>Willie smiled.  “Come on you don’t think we’d let anybody slip by us do you?” he said incredulously<br/><br/>James didn’t have the heart to tell him that he was pretty sure someone already had.  Normally the security did an outstanding job .  “Never hurts to have an extra set of eyes, besides its a beautiful day don’t you think?”  James replied chuckly.  “In this part of the country you never know when your going to see the sun next.”<br/><br/>Willie laughed.  “Ain’t that the truth,” he agreed before giving James a little salute.  “Have a good walk, just make you get back before the party.  I don’t think Mrs. D’Arque would forgive you if you showed up late.<br/><br/>James joined in the laughing.  “Don’t I know it Willie,” he replied and then set off again returning to his thoughts.  It did  not take him long to decide to tell her everything and let her judge him for what he was.  She deserved to know the kind of danger that he presented to her just by being with him.  If Spectre ever targeted him she would be in danger to just by being associated with him.<br/>
