"So why our school?" Cara asked as she and Al walked down the hall back to joining his family and her father.
Al was glad that he had been allowed to tell Cara the truth she needed to hear in private. He was even surprised that his father had allowed him to bring her to his room.
Under normal circumstances, if Cara was just an ordinary friend that knew about his identity, they wouldn't be allowed to hang out in his room.
He knew that his father cherished privacy, so allowing Cara into their more private living area was a show of trust towards Al.
Ray knew that to Al, Cara might have started out as a mission, but she was more than that now.
"It was far enough from home that I'd have to take public transportation to get there and home, it was close enough that in an emergency I could be easily secured." Al explained as he recalled the reason why that school in particular was chosen.
