Shadows of Destiny

Chapter 124

I was worried about the arrests, primarily because of the rumours about the gun assassination.

I did not know if it were the truth or a piece of false information to mislead us.

Anything was possible because the people were intelligent, and they were multiple steps ahead of us.

After Sylvester and the other men left, I knew we had to set some things in motion and reduce the workload.

Iris’s questioning would have to wait.

I was curious to find out what was in the flash drive.

Sylvester had asked a valid question, and I was tempted to ask Amanda, but I changed my mind.

No one trusted her intentions, and they all had valid reasons.

I needed to consult with my friends to figure out what to do.

Carrying Sylvester’s laptop, I took the drive from where Sylvester kept it in the closet and headed to Avery’s wing so we could check the content together.

We decided to have breakfast there because time was of the essence.

Since the information wasn’t encrypted, there was no need for a hacker.

We would just do well enough.

“Where are you?” I heard Stephanie’s voice in my head, and I honestly did not want to see her until I was done, but I knew she would just come looking for me.

“On my way to Avery’s room,” I replied.

“Nicole wanted us to have breakfast together.

I do not want to be there alone,” She confessed, and I giggled.

“You will have to.

I have been given a task which I have to complete before Sylvester returns,” I confessed, and she was silent a bit before responding.

“Very well then, I will see you later,” She said, giving up, and I was glad she was letting the matter rest.

I arrived at Avery’s door and knocked.

She answered, and I let myself in.

Linda was there eating a sandwich, and we all greeted ourselves.

“Doing some tech stuff?” Linda said, pointing at the laptop, and I giggled.

“No, Linda.

We are going through the flash drive Amanda gave us,” I said, and Avery rolled her eyes.

“You mean the snake because that is what she is,” Avery said, not wanting to give Amanda the benefit of the doubt.

Looking at it, nobody gave the woman the benefit of the doubt.

We all believed she was up to no good.
