[He hadn't been told because it was such a small publication. The turnaround for interview requests is long. However, that might be something Keith should pay attention to. Agnes wonders how much of this he's going to retain. If he does want to change things, here's a prime example right here - Boycotting. He's a commodity, the same as all the Heroes. Withholding Sky High's appearances is a VERY efficient tactic, when used correctly.

Like now. Sanders flips the camera on, rapidly scrolling through the photos. "Look - I didn't even get that much! Just you two walking!"

It's true. They're pretty far away. He'd probably been sneaking closer for a better angle. Really, he couldn't do much damage with these. Except... except that it puts Keith and Agnes in the same place. And in a couple of shots they might be holding hands.

So Sanders does have something, he just doesn't realize what.

Agnes's expression does not change from that "Maneater" smirk. She thanks GOD Sanders isn't looking at whatever face Keith is making...]

Give me the memory card and we'll call it even.

[It's definitely something he's going to have to think about in the future. Looking at what appearances his company wants him to make and making sure they're ones he wants to make. Do the other heroes think about it? It seems like it might be hard to keep track of the important details - like which newspapers or magazines are owned by the same group - but Ms Agnes will surely help him if he needs it.

Turning his attention back to the man in front of him, Keith leans forward to peer over Mr Sanders' shoulder at the pictures as they flash past. A worried look passes across his face at the shots of them holding hands but a glance at Ms Agnes reassures him. She doesn't look worried and he'd be surprised if the poor photographer is brave enough to refuse her demand. They'll be fine.]

[The photographer does have some spine left. Too bad for him. He splutters at the demand. "What - This is personal property! I know my rights - " Agnes narrows her eyes a fraction. The last of Sanders' courage flees the country. He's turning a very interesting shade of green. "Look - I'll delete them, you can watch -"]

So you can run it through recovery software? I don't think so. Of course you'll be compensated. CF, correct?

[Pulling out her phone, Agnes's fingers fly across the keys.]

There. That covers market value of the highest available card. The funds will be in your account once you e-mail the information to my office. And if I catch you upsetting any of my Heroes again, you'll be lucky to shoot an elementary school Picture Day.

[Sanders looks from Keith to Agnes, flaps his mouth open and closed a few times, then surrenders the card. Agnes sticks it into her pocket. She looks up at Keith, apparently bored with the conversation already.]

Show him back to the path.

[Wouldn't want him to accidentally get caught in some bushes again, right? Dismissed!]
