Tom put on a big smile and gestured for them to walk forward.

"This way, please." Ivor nodded and led her into the tunnel. Just as they were about to go inside, Tom smacked his head and said, "Oh geez. I forgot to bring an important tool!" The more he said, the more upset he got. His eyes were filled with regret and guilt as he looked at them.

"I'm so sorry, Ivor. You guys should go ahead first. I'll be back as soon as I get my tool. Age has truly caught up to me. Even my mind isn't working as well as it should be. I can't believe I forgot about something like this." Bonnie stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at him.

"You've just forgotten to take a tool. It's not a big deal. Go and get it. We'll head inside and look around." That was what Tom was counting on. He quickly responded, "Alright, then. I'm going to go back outside and take it now." Then, he saw Floyd and Jim out of the corner of his eyes. A hint of menacing light traced his eyes before he adopted a troubled expression and looked at her.

"It's just that the tool is a little heavy. I'm afraid I can't lift it by myself. I'll need a couple more men to helpwith it. Would it be okay if I loaned both of your men?" That was when she felt that something was wrong. However, the feeling was so fleeting that she almost couldn't register it.

An intense feeling rose in her chest, making her frown. Then, she stared at Tom with judging eyes.

"What about your workers? You could always ask them to move the tool for you." His expression grew more troubled.

"The workers are working in the quarry now. They're in the deepest part of the tunnel. I can't call them here. Furthermore, I might be their boss, but am I supposed to ask them to cto the surface for something so menial? That's a little inhumane, don't you think?" Again, Tom's words were making ssense. However, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

She turned around, looked at Ivor, and asked, "What's your take on this? Should we let Jim and Floyd help him out?" 'After all, I don't have much elet experience with Tom. I don't know him that well. It's much more appropriate to let him think about the best way to proceed with this." Ivor lowered his gaze and stared at Tom.

Tom's heart skipped a beat from the way Ivor stared at him. He was afraid that vor might be able to tell that something was wrong. Trying his very best to stay calm, he forced a smile and said, "My tool isn't too far away, Ivor. It's right over there." He pointed at a house not far from here.

"Furthermore, they're both rough, bulky guys. D-Do you honestly think I can do anything to them?" Ivor stared at him profoundly again
