DragonflyWhirlwind
Oh, I'm sorry. I did not know that.
stops fiddling with his watch, looks up at DragonflyWhirlwind It's...it's not just about your husband, you know. This whole spy ring...

What does it mean for us in Paris?
leans forward, his voice low and filled with urgency It means we're not safe here in Paris. They could be watching us, listening to our every move.

DragonflyWhirlwind
Really? I don't think I have seen any suspicious activity around here.
narrows his eyes, his voice firm Trust me, I've dealt with these kinds of operations before. They're good at blending in.

DragonflyWhirlwind
But what does this have to do with your brother?
pauses, takes a deep breath My brother... he's part of the spy ring too. He's been working with them for years, feeding them information.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
No! I won't believe that. We've been together through thick and thin. And he loves me more than anything.
stands up abruptly Look, I understand that it's hard for you to believe, but I'm telling the truth! My brother...

DragonflyWhirlwind
Your brother, is he the one who sent you here? To tell me to leave him?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly agitated No, DragonflyWhirlwind, that's not why I'm here. I didn't even know about this until...

DragonflyWhirlwind
Until what?
James Caldwell shows DragonflyWhirlwind a secret message revealing the extent of their husband's espionage activities.

DragonflyWhirlwind
Oh my god. How did you get this?
leans in closer, speaking softly I managed to hack into their system, get a copy of the evidence they've been gathering on us.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
So you don't trust your brother either?
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Look, I don't know what to believe anymore. All I know is that there's a traitor among us, and it's putting us all in danger.

DragonflyWhirlwind
Then we have to find out who it is. Together. We can turn this around.
pauses, looking conflicted I appreciate your determination, DragonflyWhirlwind, but this isn't something we can just turn around.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
Why not? There must be a way to fight back.
sighs, leans against the wall Look, DragonflyWhirlwind, I've been down this road before.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
Yeah, I remember. Didn't end well last time.
straightens up, his voice determined You're right, it didn't end well last time. But this time, we have something they don't have - us.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
And your brother? Is he on our side?
pauses, looking conflicted I don't know if my brother is on our side or not. He's always been ambitious, driven by his own agenda.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
He can't be that bad. We know him better than anyone.
leans in closer, his voice urgent DragonflyWhirlwind, this isn't about knowing him better. This is about survival.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
Then let's go see him. Confront him together.
takes a step back, his face tense No, DragonflyWhirlwind, confronting him directly is too dangerous. We need to be smart about this.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
Fine. Then how do you suggest we deal with him?
paces back and forth, thinking We need to gather more information, find out who else is on our side.
9/16/2024
DragonflyWhirlwind
Good idea. Let's start by asking people we know.
stops pacing, looks directly at DragonflyWhirlwind No, DragonflyWhirlwind, we can't trust anyone outside of ourselves.
