Hunting for Shade (7)

Once inside the luxurious building, the group felt an immediate shift in the atmosphere.

The opulence of the exterior gave way to a more subdued, albeit still richly appointed, interior.

Erik took the lead as he saw the entrance to the Shadow's Market from Vincent's memories.

The others followed closely. They had to keep a low profile, but were still alert for any sign of danger.

"How do we plan to enter the Market?" Rebecca asked, her voice low to avoid drawing attention.

Erik glanced back at her, a hint of a smile playing at the edges of his masked face. "I know how to do that."

Vincent didn't give them the pass phrases it was needed to enter, Erik saw he didn't know it. But a lead was still better than nothing, and in fact, Erik could easily solve that problem.

"Can you at least share your plan with us?"

Erik's response was brief. "Just leave it to me," he said, silencing further inquiries with his air of mystery.
