One thing about suspicion that no one talks about is how deeply rooted it grows.
It takes a tree about five to ten years to form deep roots, but it takes less than 24 hours for suspicion to grow into something so rancid. As I sat in the situation room, my eyes travelled from one face to another, gauging their expressions as they all spoke.
One of them had killed Caius. One of them must have been thrown off by the possibility that Caius was onto them or something and must have used the opportunity to end him. My gaze strayed to Lenny. He was focusing on the board where one of the Gammas was illustrating something.
Suddenly, he turned to me, and our gaze met and held for some seconds before his voice filtered into my head.
"Is everything alright?" he asked.
I didn't answer. I looked away. My thoughts strayed again to Caius's statement. I was trying to make sense out of everything. I wanted to understand what exactly was going on. Because up until now, nothing made sense.
