Driven to fury, Hackett yelled, "Huey, do you not fear the sting of your own conscience? Accusingof such a heinous act? After all my sacrifices for the association, you repaywith baseless slander? Showyour proof! How could you cast such aspersions?" Emotion choked Hackett's words, his eyes swelling with a mix of rage and sorrow.

"Huey, please, Hackett has only ever planned for our collective benefit. Temper your fury." "Temper my fury?" Huey's retort was incredulous, his voice rising in protest. "How can I temper my fury when I was inches from death on that rooftop?" Silence once again fell like a heavy blanket over the room.
Every pair of eyes turned to Huey, their expressions a mixture of shock and incredulity.
Farley's eyes widened, a mix of disbelief and fear clouding his features. "Huey, what are you implying?" Bruno chimed in, "Huey, you really shouldn't say things that could fracture our unity." Huey rose, his stance bold and unyielding. With Daniela's formidable support behind him, he had nothing to fear.
He slammed his hand down hard on the table, making everyone jump. "What am I implying? Isn't it glaringly obvious? Reflect on it. Why didn't the fire department show up that day?

"What absurdity are you spouting? I was right there. You might deceive the others, but you can't fool me.

His accusation reverberated through the room, sending a shiver down everyone's spine and ushering in a profound silence once again.
"You're spouting nonsense!" Hackett snapped.
Huey's voice was cold as he abruptly kicked the chair beside him. "You know the truth deep down. Letmake this clear: until Marcus' real murderer is uncovered, I won't go against Daniela. I urge you not to be unwitting pawns in someone else's game." With those final words, Huey stormed out, not once glancing back.

Perhaps Cedric has clouded his judgment."
Farley's brow creased in thought as he mulled over Huey's parting words. "I need to reconsider everything. Excuse me," he said, making his exit. The others dispersed, leaving Bruno alone with Hackett.
"Hackett, I trust you. You've always been there for us. Why would youn betray us? Bruno asked, his voice filled with confusion.
