As Alex, Sophia, and Marco navigated the crowded streets, a figure emerged from the shadows. She was a young woman with piercing green eyes and long, curly brown hair. She looked familiar, but Sophia couldn't quite place her.
"Sophia?" the woman said, her voice hesitant.
Sophia's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" she asked.
The woman took a step forward. "My name is Emily," she said. "I've been looking for you, Sophia. Everywhere."
Sophia's expression was skeptical. "What do you want?" she asked.
Emily's eyes locked onto Sophia's. "I want to talk to you about your past," she said. "About your family."
Sophia's eyes flashed with warning. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said.
But Emily's expression was insistent. "Don't lie to me, Sophia," she said. "I know all about your family's secrets. And I think you need to know the truth."
Alex and Marco exchanged a curious glance. What was Emily talking about? And what secrets did Sophia's family have?
Sophia's eyes narrowed. "What do you know?" she asked Emily, her voice low and menacing.
Emily took a deep breath. "I know that your family was involved in some pretty shady dealings," she said. "And I think you're in danger, Sophia. Big danger."
Sophia's expression was unreadable. But Alex and Marco could sense the tension emanating from her.
What do you think happens next? Does Sophia confront Emily about her claims, or does she try to brush her off?
