"A thief?" Luke thought in desbelief, his brain suddenly kicking into high gear. He had been in the security business for a little while now and had always personally read every police report where someone either attempted or succeeded to get past their security system. Suddenly, out of the blue, his mind made a connection he never would have thought of until she mentioned something like this.

"Neena... is that short for Nehanda? I remember a report or two filtering through about a young woman named Nehanda that got past our security system but was unable to leave before the police arrived on at least two different occasions. Her skills were attributed to random phone calls that were made to the home owner in one other case, if not more. As I remember it when she was caught it was because of a combination of hidden motion sensors, visible cameras, and... laser beams I do believe."

He knew that his memory wasn't perfect and he might have the exact combination of devices incorrect but he did his best to always remember the names of the variosu perpetrators. Nehanda had never actually stolen anything and so than other than small charges of B&E, there had never been much of a case. Especially after she had a chance to talk to the homeowners and give them tips for improving the security. If Neena was the Nehanda that Luke had read about, she was very good at what she chose to do.

"Neena... is that short for Nehanda?"

One eyebrow quirked in curiosity. "Yes, it is. Why?"

"I remember a report or two filtering through about a young woman named Nehanda that got past our security system but was unable to leave before the police arrived on at least two different occasions."

Neena restrained a smirk, barely. 'Unable to leave' was a bit of a stretch at times.

"Her skills were attributed to random phone calls that were made to the home owner in one other case, if not more. As I remember it when she was caught it was because of a combination of hidden motion sensors, visible cameras, and... laser beams I do believe."

She shook her head. " 'Laser grid', and those are a pain to deal with, especially when different beams are used at the same time. The motion sensors are fairly easy to spot, but much harder to fool than the cameras. Even the newer models."

Her smirk made its way onto her face, tempered to a small, and satisfied, smile. "Jacobs and Jacobs. Of course. Forgive me for not recognizing your name. My intentions are usually directed toward helping the property owners improve their security, not to test the actual company."

She glanced sideways, remembering one particular break-in she'd attempted, likely the one Luke spoke about. "I've got to admit, though, that grid of yours is rather effective. That had to be one of the most fun nights I remember having. Though I guess the homeowner wasn't as thrilled...."

She shrugged, and turned to look at him again, totally shameless at her exploits. "Well, now that I know who you are, I'll keep an eye out for your systems, Luke. And your other persona as well."

She nodded sharply, as if sealing a deal, then went back to their previous subject matter.

"As for the Xmen, the Headmistress and Team Leader is due back shortly. You're welcome to return and meet her whenever that happens. I'm sure she'd be able to explain things a bit better than I can."

It sounded as if this was Luke's cue to leave and he couldn't really blame Neena. She was supposed to go talk to Calley if what he had heard earlier was any indication and it was late. He had found out more information that he could have ever hoped for and so tonight had to qualify as a success.

"Well thank you very much for your hospitality and for your willingness to talk to me." Luke said with a smile as he slowly stood up and walked over to Neena, offering his right hand to her as a handshake, "If you ever happen to get slowed down by our systems again, just tell the homeowner you perform random security checks for us and give them whatever advice you may have. Hopefully, at least when it comes to our systems, it'll keep you out of trouble."

Her idea of fun in breaking and entering was of small importance compared to the information he had gained about the X-Men. It would deffinately be important to come back when the team leader was in town in order to get a more clear view of the entire situation. "And I'll make sure to pop back in some time after your Headmistress and Team Leader has returned. If you wouldn't mind, please tell Calley I said for him to take care of himself."

"Well thank you very much for your hospitality and for your willingness to talk to me."

Neena also stood; he must have taken her statement as a dismissal. Though she hadn't intended it, Calley was still weighing in the back of her mind, and she needed to do some thinking beforehand.

"If you ever happen to get slowed down by our systems again, just tell the homeowner you perform random security checks for us and give them whatever advice you may have. Hopefully, at least when it comes to our systems, it'll keep you out of trouble."

She shook his hand and bowed slightly. "Thank you for the offer, Luke. I'll keep it in mind." She probably wouldn't do so, simply because she felt a night or two in jail a reasonable trade off for her efforts to help. She was still breaking the law after all, even if the crime was minor. Although....

"If you ever want me to test something for you, I'd be happy to," she added cheerfully. "I get bored easily, so I'd love the challenge."

"And I'll make sure to pop back in some time after your Headmistress and Team Leader has returned."

She nodded. "It should be within the next week or so, bit I'll let you know for sure." She patted the card in her pocket.

"If you wouldn't mind, please tell Calley I said for him to take care of himself."

She inhaled, and let it out in a whoosh, then nodded. "Of course I will. And.... could you do me a favor? If you run across him again like this, could you please call and warn me?" She laughed ruefully.

Luke smiled broadened ever so slightly and he nodded in acceptance. "I think I can probably give you some heads up if this ever happens again. Take care Neena. It was nice meeting you."

Once the final farewells had been said the 'blind' man made his way outside and off into the shadows. It was time to go home.
