Alex was stunned for a moment as another layer was pulled back, Though what confused him more was that he started to enjoy the surprises and the wariness of the others as things start to unravel. Alex just lets that roll around in the back of his mind  while  listening to the tips from kitty and what Akio said his illusions could do to just trick the mind into  not being hungry."Well thanks for the tips about your Mother Kitty, Akio that trick might be useful if we out on a job and unforeseen things happen to our food supply.
