"I don’t want anyone to get involved for me, which is why you weren't told I am still alive."
Joyce let out a sigh.
"Joyce, what are you thinking? The fact that you are nowhere to be found, and we don’t even know whether you are alive or not is a greater torture to us. Do you know that Karl had ..." Juanita wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.
She knew only too well how heavy Karl's burden had been for these four years.
"I'm sorry. I thought that it would pass with time." Joyce sounded apologetic.
"Hey, let's not talk about that. The fact that you are still alive is better than anything else." Juanita wrapped her arms around Joyce hard and tightly, as if she was afraid of losing her again.
"Joyce, give me your phone for a second." Karl suddenly interrupted them and said.
"Oh." Joyce took her cell phone out and handed it to Karl.
Karl took out a phone-like device from his bag, only the size of his palm, and connected it to Joyce's cell phone. Then he opened the device up, entered some code, and then lines of strange code popped up from the screen, obviously installing some program into her cell phone.
"This is the latest satellite positioning technology. I have just installed the program in your phone, Joyce, and I need to keep track of your movements just in case. We must not repeat the mistakes of the past."
"Good." Joyce responded.
After the program was installed, Joyce picked up her phone and went through the program list inside, and surprisingly there was no trace of it.
"Oh, it's so advanced that I do not notice any changes at all." Juanita felt curious.
"This system is only available to the House of Inspectation and the Military Intelligence Agency. So Otis might also use the same things. In short, you are careful in everything." Karl warned.
"Well, got it. It's getting late, and I should get back. I have to take Anderson to kindergarten in the morning." Joyce stroked Anderson's hair and said softly.
"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need me." Juanita stood up and said enthusiastically, "I'm free every day, and if you're too busy and need me to help you pick up the kids or whatever, just call me anytime."
