The revelation of the mole had sent shockwaves through our team, and the betrayal still lingered in the air. I sat at the large oak table, my fingers tracing the grain of the wood as I tried to process everything. Alexander stood by the window, his silhouette stark against the morning light, while Richard paced the room, his mind clearly racing.
"We've managed to deal with the mole, but we can't let our guard down," Alexander said, his voice breaking the heavy silence.
I nodded, my thoughts echoing his sentiment. "Agreed. Our next step is crucial. We need to stay one step ahead of the benefactor."
Richard finally stopped pacing and looked at us, determination etched on his face. "Let's focus on gathering more evidence and solidifying our case. We can't afford any more surprises."
Every revelation seems to lead us deeper into the labyrinth. How many more secrets lie ahead? I wondered, feeling the weight of the journey ahead.
