The clash of doubts and trust.

Brad and Benjamin looked at Vivian walking into the study with their mouths agape.

"He has called us here for an important meeting, but he is going to talk to Vivian first," Benjamin said with astonishment. "Do you think it is a good idea to trust her?"

He looked at Brad, curious as to what he would say.

Brad kept looking at the study, seemingly lost in his thoughts.

"I don't know… I think Oscar and Vivian are with our enemy… the enemy, who is hidden from our eyes and who seems quite dangerous. Maybe they are merely pawns of that enigmatic foe. We should be careful. Don't you think so?"

He bore a skeptical gaze on his face.

Brad rose to his feet and walked up to Christopher's room without saying a word.

"Chris…"

Christopher came out of the closet, buttoning his shirt.
