A Genius Plan

The dimly lit room was filled with tension as Nora and Demetri sat across from Gabe, Ian, Seb, and Lucien. The only source of illumination came from a lone desk lamp that cast elongated shadows on the worn wooden table. Outside, the rain fell steadily, a sombre backdrop to the impending confrontation. The air was thick with tension as Demetri and Gave continued to stare at each other.

Finally, it was Gabe who looked away, pushing a small pen drive and a file towards the others. "This is all I've found."

As he said this, Gabe stood up, ready to leave the room. It was Ian who stopped his brother, questioning him," Aren't you going to discuss the countermeasures and strategies?"

Gabe shot a look at Demetri who had yet to say anything before shaking his head," I don't think so. It is not safe, Ian. I... If push comes to shove, I cannot assure you that I won't do everything I can to save Arabelle."
