Chapter 430 - 27

Addy takes a deep breath and stares at the empty plates. "We could blackmail her," they suggest.

"Yeah. That's one possibility," you say. "I'm sure we could come up with a way to find some dirt on her. Everybody has at least one thing they don't want people knowing about."

"I hate this plan," Diego says.

"Okay, another option is that we find evidence that Caleb or someone else not of the undead was out there in the fog stalking me," you say. "Maybe we look for real evidence and just be upfront about everything, maybe we fake some to trick Ashley into thinking we have them cornered. Pull her strings and force her to talk."

"Evidence is good," Anuja says. "Real evidence, that is. We shouldn't overcomplicate it, or lie about something this serious for that matter."

Kirill shakes his head. "I am still not sure there will be evidence to find. We are smart. We can fake it well."

"The third option," you say, turning to Diego, "is to genuinely appeal to Ashley for help. We learn a little more about her so we can show that we feel for her and what she's going through."

"That's the option I like," Diego says.

Addy rolls their eyes. "Ashley is on the enemy's team, you do realize," they say.

"Since when are we on teams?" Diego asks.

"Since Ennis started recruiting people to stalk Petzeiros in the fog!"

"You're the one most affected by all this," Anuja says as she leans in towards you. "What do you want to do? Whatever you decide, I do think you should go into it as though you were certain Caleb was behind it. We won't be able to get her to confess to anything if we act like we're not sure of his part in it."
