Sofia and Justo quickly left the office to go see the infected villagers. Their footsteps faded down the hallway, leaving behind a quiet tension that settled heavily in the room.
Raye, Jerusha, and Lycus were left behind.
Right now, the three of them were gathered together, speaking among themselves in low voices as they tried to process everything they had just heard from Justo.

And just like the group and Cole suspected, Justo himself also believed that the timing was far too perfect to be a coincidence. He thought the group was connected to everything.
After all... Justo declined the offer they were pushing on him, and right after he did—
"You will all pay for this!"
