You sit back, scanning the group of counselors sitting around the campfire. Who's paying attention to whom? Who looks like the kind of person who notices things?
Jared? Hardly. Caitlin? Maybe, but you know she was with the other music counselors all day.
Then you notice Zoe leaning over to brush some fallen leaves from Jared's hair. If she can spot that in the dim light, there's a good chance that she's observant enough to have noticed when Samira lost the bracelet. Plus, the entrance to the archery range is near the part of the forest where Samira was walking.
You wander around the edge of the group until you're next to Zoe. "Hi," you say casually, as you sit down next to her.
She looks up with a friendly smile. "Hi. Pika Shimon Capela, right? You and Pearl are in Cabin 12."
Yes, her memory's good. You're going to get the information you need. "Can I ask you a few questions?"
Zoe nods. "Sure, go ahead."
