Nigel didn’t trust Timothy. He knew there was more on his computer than just fuzzy images of the people in the van. He decided to find out for himself what the images really looked like. He got a copy of the parking lot footage from when the van stopped and dropped the agent out the back doors. When the footage came up, there was nothing but static. He was going to have to watch Timothy very carefully if he wanted to keep his head.
Nigel had seen young people like Timothy come and go over the years. He knew what to look for when hiring them. Unfortunately, the same traits that made him hirable also meant that they were constantly looking to advance aggressively. Yet Timothy was different. His skills alone got him the job, but he had an ability to know what you needed and to have an answer waiting for you.
The file on Timothy was clean as a whistle - top marks in his classes at college - yet he still wanted to work there making a fraction of what he could for a private organization. It didn’t add up. And Nigel was determined to get to the bottom of it. He was a natural when it came to sneaking around and getting items that were hard to retrieve. Few people knew he was very good at illusionary magic. He could cast a spell while in a crowded room without anyone knowing what had happened. Despite this, he still couldn’t find anything of value on Timothy. That wouldn’t do if he was to maintain his advantage for long.
