For confirmation.
They knew this was the place.
Inside, Leo froze.
Not visibly.
Not dramatically.
But his body shifted.
Subtle tension.
Recognition.
Emily noticed immediately.
“Why did you stop?” she asked.
He didn’t answer.
He was listening.
Footsteps outside.
Movement at the perimeter.
“They found me,” he said quietly.
That confirmed everything.
Not random.
Not coincidence.
They were looking for him.
Emily tightened her grip on his sleeve.
“Don’t go.”
Simple.
Absolute.
