Arlan’s Motive

Arlan was a bit surprised. He thought that the leader would be one of the two female teachers. He didn't think that it was actually the young man in front of him. 

Arlan renewed his opinion about Brandon. He was not even in his twenties, but he managed to lead a group into safety. 

Brandon felt a bit nervous when he sensed the change in Arlan's gaze, but he quickly calmed down. 

"What was your name again?" Arlan asked with a smile.

"Brandon." Brandon replied. He wondered why Arlan had suddenly taken an interest in him.
