Conversation deepened
Their conversation deepened, with the man hinting at secrets he was burdened with. “I’ve seen things… things that shouldn’t exist,”
he confessed, eyes darting to the water. Robert felt a chill. “What kind of things?” he pressed. The man looked pained, struggling to articulate his thoughts.
“Secrets the government wants to keep hidden,” he finally said. Robert’s curiosity grew. “Why are you telling me this?”
The man looked at him intensely. “Because someone needs to know the truth.”
