Eru started to walk up the backside of the mountain with Charmalina behind him on the narrow trail. The council would be meeting in a lodge up the mountain. There was only one heavily secured road up to the lodge. It was too dangerous and they would be spotted too early if they took the road.

“Hello Eru and Charmalina. How are you two doing?” One member asked them feigning hospitality.

“We are doing fine”, Eru replied. “What are you doing here?”

“We understand that you came across a password before Brown died”, The other council member, very large around the waist, spoke this time.

“Yes we did,” Charmalina thought about it. They had no way of knowing that unless Basq had told them or a listening device of some kind was present. Why would they need it if they already had it?
