As they walked into Gavin's dorm, Olivia couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Emily's nervous behavior had put her on edge, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. The air in the room seemed thick with tension, and Olivia's heart was racing with anticipation.
Gavin closed the door behind them and turned to Emily. "What's going on, Emily? You look like you've seen a ghost." His voice was calm and reassuring, but Olivia could sense a hint of concern beneath the surface.
Emily hesitated, glancing around the room nervously. She seemed to be checking for hidden listeners, and Olivia's curiosity was piqued. What could Emily possibly have to say that required such secrecy?
"I need to tell you something about Jake," Emily said finally, her voice barely above a whisper. Olivia's ears perked up, and she leaned forward, eager to hear what Emily had to say.
Gavin's expression turned serious. "What is it, Emily?" he asked, his voice low and urgent.
Emily took a deep breath, her eyes darting back and forth between Gavin and Olivia. "I've been doing some research on Jake," she began, "and I think I've uncovered something big."
Olivia's heart skipped a beat. What had Emily discovered? She felt a surge of excitement mixed with fear, and she couldn't help but wonder what lay ahead.
Gavin's eyes narrowed. "What is it?" he repeated, his voice firm but controlled.
Emily hesitated, glancing around the room nervously once more. "I think Jake is working for a corporation that's been secretly funding the anti-environmental movement," she said finally, her voice barely above a whisper.
Olivia's eyes widened in shock. That was huge. She felt like she'd been punched in the gut, and she couldn't catch her breath. The implications were staggering – if Jake was working for a corporation, that meant he was just a pawn in a much larger game.
Gavin's expression turned grim. "We need to get to the bottom of this," he said, his voice firm and determined.
As they began to discuss their next move, Olivia couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. They were playing with fire, and she wasn't sure if they were ready for the consequences. But she was determined to see this through, no matter what lay ahead.
The three of them spent the next hour pouring over Emily's research, trying to make sense of the complex web of connections and motives. Olivia's mind was reeling, but she was determined to stay focused.
As they worked, Olivia couldn't help but wonder what other secrets lay hidden beneath the surface. What else was Jake hiding? And what would happen when they finally uncovered the truth?
