Chapter 285: Priorities

Hearing the Temple Heads request to help her make sure there weren't any people who shouldn't be allowed into their base, Lake tried to think of what he should set Detector to to find the people inside just this building. If he set it to look for all of the spies that were infiltrating the Temple of Light Detector would pick up all of them in the whole world. Continue reading on No_veLbIn

Realizing just using Detector without the arrow since it had a limited range would be better, Lake set it to look for enemies of the Temple of Light. "Temple Head can't this wait till later, whoever has Dawn could get to wherever they're trying to take her if you don't go now."

Hearing Tiff's complaint, Lake said. "Don't worry there only seems to be one person that shouldn't be here so we can take care of it on the way out the door." Seeing this seemed to settle, Tiff down Lake led the way out of the office towards the person that was glowing. "It's whoever is in this room."

Lake didn't just burst into the room and attack whoever it was because he could tell this was an office like the one the Temple Head had so what he was saying might be a big deal that needed some more evidence than just him saying it was true. "Are you sure?" He could tell by the look on both the faces of Tiff and the Temple Head that he had been right to not charge in.

"I'm looking for enemies of the Temple and this is the only one that's in the Temple but I can understand if you want to confirm it before you take my word." After he said this the Temple Head looked at Tiff and said. "This might take a bit longer than expected. Go tell Ronnalis to come here." After she said this and Tiff had gone to do what she had been told the Temple Head turned to him and said. "Come into the room with me in case there's more than one person. I'll need you to tell me who it is."

Lake nodded and walked in after the Temple Head. Seeing two people other than the glowing person Lake pointed at the person behind the desk. He didn't say anything though so as to not give anything away to who they were here for. "Would you two go wait for me in my office?" Seeing the Temple Head dismiss the two other people Lake wasn't sure what was about to happen but it seemed the Temple Head planned to wait for Tiff to come back because she stayed silent and the only person who talked was the one behind the desk. "What's going on? Why did you interrupt my meeting with Greg and Seth?"

Once again the Temple Head stayed silent and Lake could tell this was causing great distress to the guy behind the desk. As someone who snuck into a few places while pretending to be something he wasn't, he could put himself in their place and kind of knew what was going through his head.

"Alright Lake we can go now. Oh wait no I need to do something else now. Follow me to my office again real quick." Thinking the other thing she needed to do was related to the two people the Temple Head had told to wait for her in her office so he followed her like he had been asked. Once they were there the Temple Head said. "Lake wait here. I'm about to talk about something only members of the Temple can hear. Tiff come in, you should hear this as well."

...

Stepping into the office Tiff saw two other members of the 23 sitting inside. Tiff wanted to ask what they were doing here but she figured it would come up naturally. "What was Davin saying to you two?" Hearing these two had been with Davin when the Temple Head had gone inside the office Tiff wanted to hear what they had been talking about.

"He was asking us why we had refused our orders that he had given us and we were explaining that we had been banned from leaving the base."

"It seems we caught him just in time in that case. Losing you two would have been a tragedy for the team." What the Temple Head said was true, Greg was the strongest person in the team and Seth wasn't far behind. "What do you mean caught him, what happened?" Seeing they didn't seem to understand what was happening Tiff looked to the Temple Head to see how she would choose to break the news that one of the people who had been working with them for years was a traitor.

"Davin has been identified as a traitor. We're not sure for how long or to whom he was feeding information but it's confirmed by two people." Wanting to see if this news would affect Greg, Tiff had kept her eye on his face as the Temple Head had been breaking this news only to see he didn't even blink as he was told Davin was a traitor.

"Feel free to talk about this with the other people on the team but try not to spread the word to any one else until it's announced. I'll be gone for an uncertain amount of time so stay on guard while I'm gone." After the Temple Head said this she stood up and said. "Tiff, be careful while I'm gone. You'll still be the number one target."

...

Seeing the Temple Head walk out of her office Lake asked. "Are we ready to leave?" Getting a nod from the Temple Head Lake was slightly surprised she could leave so soon after a huge incident but he guessed this Dawn person was important enough to be a top priority.
