"Of course I don't have to," James replied. "I choose to. I want to." He drove into the heart of town, to a neighborhood that had once been the domain of the wealthiest and most powerful people in Edenvale. But it had long since fallen out of favor and into disrepair. Buildings that had once been grand manors had been converted into low-rent apartment buildings; others were simply abandoned, although any number of squatters found uses for them. There was really only one house that even resembled its former glory, and even then James had taken care to let it show some outward signs of wear. Keeping it in perfect condition would have been too ostentatious, so he had allowed the paint to peel here and there. He'd had a garage built onto it, making sure it didn't quite match the architecture of the rest of the house. The sacrifices I make for discretion... and for sentimentality... I wonder which is worse...
With a click of a button, the garage door opened; the inside was lined with black foam, a cheap but fairly effective form of sound proofing. The neighbors were not the curious sort, but screaming could still draw too much attention to him. Once the car was stopped and the garage door closed, James turned to Fred again. "Welcome to my home! Do you like it?"
