Chapter 8 - Beneath the Surface

As Anna followed Oscar to his room, Oscar said " I am in deep suspicion of those two, I know that they are sketchy but I need proof. And for that I need your help. Would you help me in this secret mission?"

" Aye aye captain! I knew they were hiding something. Finally somebody believes me!" Replied Anna. "For this we have to make a plan, and I have the best idea. We will use the cat and mouse game, where Adam & Isha thinks they're in control, but actually we are pulling strings to catch them red-handed. How is my idea?" asked Oscar.

" Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant, my captain! The plan could never be better! But what can we do? They had already got Lucas and Auther on their side! " Asked Anna. " I think we should catch them red handed so that Lucas and Auther would know what we were talking about." Replied Oscar.

"We'll let Adam and Isha think they're winning. Then, at the right moment, we'll reveal the truth in front of everyone!" exclaimed Anna. "Correct. Now let's go back to the party, everyone might be suspicious, why we are taking so much time. We will continue this meeting tomorrow. " Told Oscar.

As they returned back to the party, everyone asked where they had gone but Oscar as he was prepared told everyone that he had gone to the pantry to bring some snacks.

" How are you the best captain ever! You know what we wanted! You are the best,Oscar! " Exclaimed Lucas.

When the party was finally over and everyone had gone to their rooms, the dark thoughts returned to Oscar. Just yesterday, his life had turned upside down. Framed for a crime he hadn't committed, branded a wanted man, he had no choice but to run. In his haste, he left behind a single note for his family, begging them to escape before the guards came. But now, lying awake in the stillness of the night, one question clawed at him again and again—

"Did they survive… or was I too late?"
