The others chimed in with agreement.
âYes, we all belong to the Thorn Edge Pack.
We must stand together.
â
âOver the years, the Barton family has been generous contributors to our pack, involved in numerous projects.
If we were to accuse them without solid evidence, it would harm everyone.
â
Noting that the elders sided with the Barton family, Caleb and I found ourselves unable to interject.

âCaleb, if you claim the Barton family is at fault, then provide evidence for all to see.
We will only believe you once the proof is presented.

âPlease be patient, everyone.
The evidence will be revealed shortly,â
Caleb responded, comprehending his fatherâs intentions.
âI can attest that not only did the Barton family clash with Debra, but theyâve also committed reprehensible acts.

Excitement welled up in me, and I hurriedly turned to the door.

Someone in the room sneered, âYou? A guide? How can you prove it?
Are you just trying to tarnish the Barton familyâs name?â
Jackson, his face blank, retrieved a recording device.
âThis is the recording of the Barton family asked me to lead the second group from Roz Town into the foggy forest.
I recorded it discreetly.
â
Without giving anyone a chance to respond, he hit the play button.
The elders in the meeting room recognized Luisâ voice, yet despite incontrovertible evidence, one of them still questioned, âIn this age of advanced technology, whoâs to say this recording isnât a clever forgery? To confirm its authenticity, we must have Luis present.
