Chương 11: Shattered Trust
Rachel's eyes narrowed as I entered the bungalow, my face flushed from the encounter with Nova. "Ethan, what happened?" she asked, her tone laced with concern.
I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. Nova's words echoed in my mind: "Trust no one, Ethan. Not even Rachel." I decided to test Rachel's loyalty.
"Nova gave me this," I said, handing her the device. Rachel's expression changed from curiosity to alarm.
"Where did you get this?" she demanded, her voice sharp. I sensed a crack in her composure.
"Nova," I replied, watching her reaction. Rachel's eyes darted around the room, as if searching for an escape.
"Ethan, we need to destroy this," she urged, her voice low. "It's not safe." My instincts screamed warning.
"Why?" I pressed, my heart pounding. Rachel's gaze locked onto mine, her expression intense.
"Because it contains information that could put you in grave danger," she said. "Information about your parents' research... and my own involvement."
My world tilted. Rachel's involvement? What did she mean?
Suddenly, the device beeped, signaling an incoming message. The screen flickered to life, revealing a shocking revelation:
"Rachel Lee: Former CIA Operative."
My trust shattered, I felt like I'd been punched in the gut.
