"What is the meaning of this?" asked the first masked man as he approached the center of the room, where the warm body of their fellow Enlightened lay.
"We found him," Amos replied, with a heavy tone in his voice.
"And why did you kill him?" asked another masked man, this time seeming more nervous than the first.
"We found him like that," Amos replied calmly, moving his eyes left and right, analyzing every reaction from each Fellow Enlightened.
"You expect us to believe that?" asked the first masked man, this time standing and facing Amos with deep tension as the latter spared him no glance.
"Why wouldn’t I, sir?" Amos replied, glancing around the room before focusing on the man. "The orders were to bring him in alive. We found him dead. So, unless you’re directly accusing me of killing him, I believe we can discuss this calmly, if you please."
It is all clear now. The situation is dire, and the one thought to be the traitor is, in fact, a blameless victim.
It didn’t need a genius to put two and two together and point fingers at the remaining group. One of them is the true traitor.
"Who are you suspecting, sir?" Amos turned to Woodman.
