The only source of illumination came from a lone desk lamp that cast elongated shadows on the worn wooden table. Outside, the rain fell steadily, a sombre backdrop to the impending confrontation. The air was thick with tension as Demetri and Gave continued to stare at each other.

Gabe shot a look at Demetri who had yet to say anything before shaking his head," I don't think so. It is not safe, Ian. I... If push comes to shove, I cannot assure you that I won't do everything I can to save Arabelle."
