Islinda just watched the disturbed face of James as she wondered about what he would decide next. She knew he had the right to be wary, but without risking it, they wouldn't be able to find the traitor.
"Let me go," she finally suggested, when her silence took longer than expected. She was thinking about how to help, but she missed a point here.
James didn't reply, as he just looked to her silently for a moment, before shaking his head. She didn't feel offended, as she knew he wasn't trusting her as much he trusted Dora. She missed this point while thinking about how to solve the traitor's dilemma.
"Let me go," this soft sweet shy voice came from behind, making the two turn around to see Eli, who was feeling embarrassed right now. "I can help you monitor her, and I- I won't betray you."
