Renar finally recognised the woman standing before him, it was Chasey, one of Lethia's colleagues. He walked over to the vending machine, got a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to her.
"Take a deep breath," Renar said calmly. "And speak slowly."
"Ad… Adam betrayed us," Chasey finally choked out. "He was Varrel Quinnel's spy all along. He lied to all of us, and just wanted to lure Lethia into that trap Varrel had set—" Her voice cracked mid-sentence.
Her explanation only confirmed the suspicion Renar had been carrying. He'd already had a feeling Varrel had something to do with Lethia's disappearance.
Renar placed a steady hand on Chasey's shoulder to calm her.
"Chasey… do you happen to know where Lethia is now? Or what exactly Adam was planning by playing spy?"
Chasey closed her eyes, gulping hard, then slowly shook her head.
