The day passed at an agonizingly slow pace. Apollo spent most of it deep in thought, carefully considering his next move. By the time classes ended, he turned to his friends and said, "Let's pause the investigation for now."
Blair frowned. "What? Why? We're making progress." he had thought that they did a good in the party before but now they are suddenly stopping.
"Not really," Apollo countered. "Whoever's covering up last year's events knows we're looking. They've been sending people who don't know anything just a vague idea, and the seniors are actively avoiding us. If we keep pressing, we might just scare them into tightening their guard."
McKenzie crossed her arms. "So we just stop?"
"For now." Apollo's eyes gleamed a hint of mischievous in his face. "Once they think we've lost interest, they'll relax. That's when we strike again. But in the meantime… I'll handle things myself."
