First of all great end to part three. Duval seems to have some kind of feelings for Sierra but neither has acknowledged these feelings to each other. I'm more interested in seeing how that comes about.
What I'm concerned about is that Duval was acting very suspiciously while speaking with Ericka and she suspects something is amiss and that this 'lab' (only say that because I can't remember what the area was called) where the Rook was located is bound to have some kind of security system. Maybe no audio but I'd be shocked if there wasn't a camera or two. However, there is a chance Duval and likewise the other higher ups offices won't be monitored but the tiny subjects definitely would be. Now I'm just thinking out loud here, but what if Ericka uses power to check up on Duval's subjects throughout that day and would see something unusual. Maybe just maybe she sees Duval take out a subject and not return the individual until after she personally walked her back to her office some odd number of hours later. So maybe she wants to confront Duval or possibly she wants to do a bit more research and find out exactly who it was. Once she figures out basically what we know, she may choose to interrogate Sierra in her office by threatening her that she'd be out of the program and sent home if she didn't comply or she'd question Duval or she questions them both at the same time. Or she could just sit on this information and see what happens, but either way she would most definitely like to tease Duval with subtle hints about the situation. Remarking how funny it would be to have a pedicure by a few subjects or that she wonders if Duval has had any proclivities or eccentricities toward tiny subjects she's too scared to mention. While just using this as an exercise to gauge Duval's reaction.

Like I said just thinking out loud. And I can't wait for part four.

PS. I gonna be honest, I only started reading this because 'feet' was in the category but that's not why I stayed. I have been pleasantly surprised from the beginning. And I'm so glad your girlfriend requested it. Thank you.

This is so cute. I love their interactions so much. You are great.
