Derek:
An interesting question. "I see no reason why he would," Derek replied. He
hadn't actually spoken to the man about Ria or anything else for tha matter.
He had notified London about Julia, but had neglected to mention to other
return and he'd taken great pains NOT to speak directly to Sloan, which was
something that required some work on his part. He left the question about
whether or not he'd spoken to Sloan unanswered. Ria had been made active
again in the computer system, but that wouldn't have raised any red flags,
Sloan would have to be looking to notice it.
