"A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord." (Eccles.26:25)

We find Senester in an office, location unknown. The room is dark illuminated only by a few screens on the wall projecting video received from the laptop before him, and the lights of various devices on the desk. He is watching satellite imagery of what appears to be some sort of military operation.

(Squad Leader): We’re on target my Lord, sending visual recognition now.

Senester keenly watches the screen as an image pops up. An expressionless look is on his face.

(Senester): Confirmed, you know what to do.

(Squad Leader): 10-4, Falcon Leader out.

A thought crosses his mind and he picks up the phone dialing a number. The phone rings a few times before it is answered.

(???????): Hello…………..Hello?...........Ally is that you again? Stop being silly.

(Senester): Good evening Kathy.

(Kathy): Who is this?

(Senester): All this time and I don’t think we’ve been properly introduced.

There is silence on the other end of the phone. A shuddered breathing is heard followed by the crash of the phone as it hits the floor, then footsteps running through the house screaming.

(Kathy): Larry!.....Larry!

Moments later nothing is heard but a dial tone and Senester clicks the phone off. His attention is drawn to another phone where a red blinking light is flashing on the desk, and he presses a button his headset.

(Assistant): My Lord, I have the president standing by for you.

(Senester): Good, transfer the call.

He waits just a moment as it’s switched over and the voice is heard.

(Senester): Mr. President…it’s an honor.

(President): (Speaking in Arabic)

Senester smiles as he leans back in his chair and the scene fades to black.
