A Strange Alley

[Ellie's P.O.V]

We circled the area to ensure there was no one around before leaving the cave. However, to get back to the hotel, we had to take a longer route, relying on Ollie to navigate.

We managed to avoid Jacob's people and reached the hotel, but our legs were aching. Walking long distances on foot was exhausting, especially without a car.

The first thing we did upon returning to the hotel was to have Ollie thoroughly sweep the room, checking every nook and cranny for surveillance cameras or listening devices. This was crucial for our security, and we couldn't afford any mistakes.

I thought Brian would be smarter, especially after our confrontation this morning. I didn't expect to see Ollie throwing a bunch of small surveillance devices and listening devices onto the bed. I was genuinely surprised.

"Is he out of his mind?" I thought incredulously.
