"All set," Janelle said while closing the storage compartment of the van.
"Great," Liam, one of the military juniors said as he made his way to the passenger entrance.
"Just remember the protocol, okay?" Janelle cautioned and smiled gently after receiving an affirmative nod from the squad.
She watched as everyone got inside the van and sped off into the woods.
"Janelle" Gabriella panted behind her.
"Why are you in such a rush?" Janelle asked.
"I got it," Gabriella said, beaming. She raised the recorder in her hand and played it for Janelle.
"That's Arthur" She muttered.
"And Renee" Gabriella finished.
"You have any idea what they're talking about?" She asked after listening to the entire recording.
"Yes, they're talking about Caden," Gabriella exclaimed, unable to contain her excitement.
"Who's Caden?" Janelle asked.
"My brother" Gabriella replied. "He also suspected Arthur and went out to find evidence against him, that's when he heard this"
"I hope you didn't reveal anything about us," She said.
"I can keep a secret you know," Gabriella said, placing the recorder back in her pocket. "You realize this is what we've been looking for, don't you?"
"It's great, but doesn't prove much" Janelle replied. "Still, we can send it, hoping we get the higher-ups on his trail"
"Exactly my point," Gabriella said. "We have to mail this to them"
"They might not see it because of all the work they have right now," Janelle doubted. "Still it's worth a shot" She admitted.
They walked back inside the safe house and began walking towards the meeting rooms, where the computers and phones were there.
"Transfer the recording to my mail," Janelle instructed. Once she received a copy of the recording, she typed in an email addressed to Arthur's superiors, warning them about him.
"If Arthur does end up being innocent, we'll be in big trouble" Gabriella mumbled.
"You still think he's innocent?" Janelle asked, raising an eyebrow. Gabriella shrugged in response.
"A not guilty Arthur would never take such attitude from a random civilian" Janelle reminded.
"I suppose" She finally said.
"Is this good to send?" Janelle asked pointing to the computer screen.
"Yes, it's perfect" She replied after reading the mail.
