Enzo and I both looked at each other, our eyes wide and our mouths open.

They don't know that we know they're coming. If it wasn't for my spies that I have scattered around various towns, I would have no idea."

I didn't bother to ask when or how Luke hired spies, but I didn't care about the logistics. Thanks to his preparedness, we now had a jump start on the upcoming attack.
