Eileen was curiously eyeing two strange men.

A shocked old man. And a middle-aged man who looked worked up.

Eileen grabbed the tent curtain, turning to Egbert, “You’ve got stuff to do, so I’ll just go ask them myself.”

Eileen stopped and looked back at him. “You…”

Blake looked at Egbert.

Egbert turned his head and said to Eileen, “Go on, I’ll stay.”

Eileen didn’t understand what they were up to, she mumbled an “Okay” and left the tent.

Egbert glanced at Derek, then patted Blake on the shoulder, signaling him to sit down.
