CHAPTER 158

"Do not need one of your bodyguards!" Tarifa spoke loudly. "We are perfectly capable of taking care of each other!"

Martin looked at her and Aihola from across the table in Eden's command center. "I beg to differ." He said softly.

Tarifa looked at him as if he had lost his mind, and she could sense that Aihola was doing the same. "You… you don't trust us anymore Martin?" She asked stunned.

Martin reached up and removed three odd looking objects from around his neck. He got to his feet and moved around to where they sat and set one down in front of Tarifa and one down in front of Aihola. He tossed the third to where Dekton stood by the doorway, before sitting in the chair between them.

"That could not be further from the truth." Martin said.
