"Mmm, not bad at all," Mia praised again, a sly smile tugging at her lips.
Just as Ethan's sneaky little scheme had predicted, everything was going smoothly. Now all they had to do... was wait for Slade to walk right into the trap.
But then, something clicked in Mia's mind.
"Hey, wait a sec—what was that 'Sexy Dance' you mentioned earlier?"
"Uh... Sexy Dance? It's, uh, just a kind of dance," Hugo stammered, clearly trying to dodge the question.
Mia narrowed her eyes. "Then show me. I wanna see it."
"Wha—no, no, come on, let's not—" Hugo grimaced like he'd just bitten into a lemon.
But Mia cut him off, her voice sweet but deadly. "If you don't dance, I'll kill you."
"Dance? Of course! I'll dance right now!"
Faced with the very real threat of death, Hugo caved instantly.
They left the stone chamber and moved into the wide, open cavern nestled in the mountain's belly.
