He What

“He what?” Kate asked shrilly. It was the only thing that seemed to penetrate her calm, cool exterior.
“Franklin tipped the Corporation off about your planet.”
Kate began to pace. “I knew this day was inevitable. I mean, we’re no so far out into space that you didn’t find us. It was only a matter of time before some other explorers found us and our secret would be out, I only thought we could enjoy if for a bit more.”
“And this is certain?” Bea asked. Only on the planet for a month and already her hair seem to be growing blonder, not silvery. Her face was stilled lined with heavy age but there was a spry spring in her step that betrayed her joints were feeling better.
“You know the Corporation, Bea, and you know how popular Rejuvenations are and they’re not even permanent. Clovelly is a goldmine. This place is going be crawling with spas and rich people.”
“I hate the rich,” Bea grumbled. She grabbed Kate’s hand and said, “I’m sorry we brought all this trouble to you.”
Kate lightly embraced her sister. “No, it’s like I said, being discovered was only a mater of time. We need to have a town meeting.”
“Do you have a plan?”
“Not yet.”
