The fight

As the man continued to laugh, Adam had already reached for the dagger, he looked last time at the direction of the cave where Valerie and Leo were but he was astonished to not find one there. 

He was sure he was just a few meters away from the cave, so he should easily see it then why could not he. He had not seen the cave before either. It was only Valerie who had seen it. If it would have been before he would have blamed her. But now he knew that she was innocent. In fact, all these goons were behind her, then why?

This cave had a lot of mysteries around it. But that was not the time to dwell on it. He retracted his gaze from the cave and looked back at the bunch of laughing men.

His grip on the dagger tightened as he prepared himself for the attack.
