"It's not difficult to do," Ellie said delicately. "Morningstar loves to keep his secrets, but he doesn't appreciate it when his minions keep theirs. As for the police, though, they're easily dealt with." Although perhaps more so in her case than the Sphinx's.
She remembered her mythology--or, well, history--well enough to recall what became of the Sphinx's unsuccessful riddling opponents, and was somewhat surprised that Adam had allowed the creature here. Humans tended to be squeamish about the consumption of human flesh. Ellie couldn't honestly say she was all that taken with the idea, either, but to each their own.
