"So Sophie, why don"t you tell us how you came to possess Alexis?" Sarah said."I tried that, she won"t tell," Alex told them. "I don"t think she trusts us."
"There is really no need to be afraid," Brian said. "We"re not out to harm you."
"Sophie, I think we should tell them," Alexis said to her Mistress. "I don"t see anything particularly wrong with it."
"My goodness, a genie who"s on first name terms with her Master," Neil said. "You wouldn"t dream of that, would you, Ophelia?"
"No Master, that would be most disrespectful of me," Ophelia replied, bowing her head.
"Alexis is my best friend," Sophie said. "I treat her as an equal."
"What a strange girl you are," Sarah smiled. "I myself enjoy having Iago eat me out while he tells me how great I am. Aren"t I great, Iago?"
"Every second in your presence is an incredible honour, Mistress," Iago replied. "Every day I thank the powers that be for being allowed to serve you."

"Good boy, Iago," Sarah smiled.
At this point, Sophie and Alexis both saw Matt phase through the living room door, and smile at them, before sitting down on an empty arm chair. Sophie resisted the urge to give him a look of "what the h.e.l.l", since she didn"t want anyone to realise he was there.
"I guess I may as well tell you all then," Sophie relented. "3 years ago, I was walking home, when I felt a compulsion to walk into a house. There was a dying old man in there, who bequeathed Alexis to me."
"Fascinating," Alex said. "I"m impressed that you were able to operate in this town for 3 years without me noticing you."
"I tried not to draw attention to myself," Sophie replied.
"What impresses me more," Brian said. "Is that Alexis" previous Master was able to avoid our detection too. Who was he, girl? How long did he own you for?"
"First of all, I have a name, which I"d appreciate you using," Alexis scoffed. "Secondly, his name was Eric Anderson. He was a soldier who found me in Berlin in 1945. He was a very kind Master, much like Sophie."
"Well, at least Alexis is in our group"s possession now," Neil said. "At least, if you"d consider joining us, Sophie."
At this point, Miss Showers leaned down and whispered something in Alex"s ear.
"Interesting, thank you, Miss Showers," he said, kissing her. "Everyone, it seems we have a spy in our midst." Matt"s eyes widened at this, while Sophie and Alexis tried to look appropriately shocked for the group.
"Impossible, we would know!" Jürgen shouted.
"Then kindly look over to that chair," Alex said, pointing to where Matt was sat. "There appears to be a human-shaped print in it, which keeps wriggling." Everyone looked over.
"My word!" Sarah gasped.
"Master, this person appears to be immune to my magic," Miss Showers told him. "Likely they also possess a genie."
"Well in that case, reveal yourself, whoever you are," Alex ordered Matt. "If you also have a genie, then you have nothing to fear from us."
