He Says – His Lucky Charm (3)

Tim crossed the room and sat on the bed. “We have one prisoner to take back in the capital now. But don’t you think, if your hunch is correct, those behind Unseen would want to kill him once we arrive?”

Eldric sneered. “I’d like to see them try.”

“I’ve already settled everything to the inn, by the way. You don’t have to worry about that. They even gave us a discount after what their staff did.”

“Are we sure that the management is not in cahoots with him?”

“We asked the owner. Because of the festival, they hired part-timers and he was one of them. Seems to me that they planted a mole in just about every inn, just in case.”

Eldric knew too well what Tim meant by ‘asking’ so he did not say anything else.

“Is there anything else you want me to do?”

Eldric nodded. “Will you help her study for the exam at least until we reach the capital?”

“Really? Studies at this time?” Tim asked incredulously.

“There’s no better time than now. She needed something else to think about. Studying would take her mind off the recent events.”

“Understood.”

“Thank you. I’ll be leaving now as we have a long day tomorrow. What?” He asked when he noticed the funny look on his friend’s face.
