Xyla Quest was rather fond of Rachel Wood, despite not spending much time with her before.
They got along quite well when they met. Xyla hoped nothing had happened to her.
“Look, Rachel was crying when she wrote this letter. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but here’s a tear mark," Xyla said, pointing to a faint smudge on the letter. "What does this mean? It means she was reluctant to leave you and possibly forced to do so.”
Sebastian Brenand immediately grabbed the letter to scrutinize it.
