Replacing the evidence
Realizing this could be the smoking gun I needed, I carefully replaced everything, ensuring Markon wouldn’t suspect a thing.
My hands were shaking, but I knew any slip-up could alert him. I took a deep breath, making sure every paper was exactly where I found it and no sign of disruption was visible.
If he discovered I had been snooping, my entire plan could be jeopardized. Stealth was essential now more than ever.
