Xavier's body went rigid, his entire demeanor shifting. His fingers curled around the phone as his heartbeat pounded in his ears.
"Where?" he demanded.
"It was quick, but we caught a clear shot of him entering some restaurants."
Xavier frowned, unsure whether to trust Maxwell. He had been avoiding the hideout for days, and this sudden call felt suspicious. Was Maxwell genuinely reaching out, or was he trying to lure him back and extract information? If Maxwell was the informant, this could be a trap.
Maxwell has been his best friend since childhood and back then, he only exchanged a few words with Xander because the latter didn't want to be connected with another nerd like Xavier.
When Arabella died, Maxwell never once believed Xavier was responsible. He stood by his side, unwavering in his loyalty, until Xavier was released from jail. That was why the chances of Maxwell being the informant seemed slim.
