章 123: Splitting Up

Luca's lips curled in disdain as he remembered what Leonardo had told them when the guards weren't looking.

Simon glanced nervously at Luca, noticing the vein pulsing angrily in his forehead. When his eyes slid to Simon, the boy reacted and quickly looked away, shifting his attention back to the guards as they led them deeper into the fortress, the heavy silence thick with anticipation.
