Days passed, and we continued to search for the leak. Then, late one night, I overheard whispers coming from the training area. Curiosity piqued, I crept closer, straining to hear.
"What if they find out?" a voice hissed, and my heart sank as I recognized it.
It was one of our most trusted allies, Luca's training partner.
"They won't know if you keep feeding them false information. Just keep your mouth shut," the second voice replied, deep and familiar.
My blood ran cold. They were talking about us, about the plans we'd made. I couldn't believe it; someone I thought I could trust was in league with the enemy.
Without thinking, I rushed back to the others, my heart racing. "It's him! I heard him talking about us!" I exclaimed, breathless.
"Are you sure?" Antonio asked, urgency creeping into his voice.
"Yes! He's feeding them information!" I insisted.
With swift coordination, my brothers formulated a plan to confront the traitor. It didn't take long for them to corner the man, who was ultimately cornered and confronted.
"What do you think you're doing?" Antonio demanded, his voice cold and controlled. "You think we wouldn't find out?"
The traitor looked scared, but defiance flickered in his eyes. "I did what I had to do. The Rivettis promised me power."
