Coolest Girl in Town

"Mole? Who is it? You don't think it's me, do you?" Narissa peppered as a hint of malice laced her quirked brow.

"No, no, no, no, no. How dare I doubt your character?! You don't know this yet, do you? Raymond and Clement just got ambushed by Area X, and Alex still hasn't come around…" Danny left his words hanging and waited for Narissa's response. He was sure the young woman would get what he was trying to say.

If they wanted to put on a show for the outsiders, they'd need the foes, Narissa and Zephyr, to play the lead. However, there was no conflict during this important time, so he had to come up with something.

Alas, Narissa didn't react dramatically as he had expected but merely nodded understandingly. "Indeed, there are many things we don't know about him."

"Right? I knew you'd also suspect him!" Danny's eyes lit up. He believed the show was about to begin.

"I did in the past," Narissa affirmed his speculation but corrected him the next second. "However, El and Alexander both trust him. Thus, I think we should also have a little faith in him."

It was apparent to Danny that Narissa's killer instinct was lacking that day, so he could only shrug it off. "I get what you mean, but for everyone's safety, Zephyr has to go if another accident happens."

At that, Narissa withdrew her gaze but didn't rebut him. "You guys make the call. I'm tired, so I'm going to turn in now. I have to continue looking for El tomorrow, after all."

With that, she went upstairs. She dared not stay downstairs for too long, for she feared running into Jamie.

"Looks like someone failed to make himself the rat, eh?" Ariel deliberately teased him, seeing that Danny failed to bring about a dispute.
