5.The Hidden Agenda
As they walked through the winding streets of Eldrida, John couldn't shake the feeling that Elwes was hiding something.
He decided to do some digging and learn more about her past.
"Arin, can I talk to you for a minute?" John asked, falling back from Elwes.
Arin nodded, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"What's up?"
"I don't trust Elwes," John said, keeping his voice low.
"I think she's hiding something."
Arin's expression turned thoughtful.
"I've had my doubts about her too," she said.
"But I don't think she's working against us... at least, not yet."
John's eyes locked onto Elwes's back.
"I'm going to investigate her past," he said.
"See if I can uncover any secrets."
Arin nodded.
"Be careful, John. If Elwes is hiding something, she might not take kindly to you snooping around."
John nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities.
As they continued on their way, John couldn't help but wonder what secrets Elwes might be hiding.
