Enigmatic (Ray x Reader)

9- A Snitch!

     Emma lit up. "So in other words, there's a mole among us children."

     Ray nodded. "A snitch. A spy."

     Norman put a finger to his chin. "We can't jump to conclusions, though. It's completely possible that one of the kids are just unknowingly leaking data into Mama's side. To be exact, Mama has another personal source. Using her sources to analyze and restrict her targets. That's most likely Mama's true strategy."

     "Wait! No way... A source..?" Emma thought. Who? How many? Since when? Why... I can't believe it. There's one among them? They all just adore Mama... And someone who's trying to be a 'good boy' or 'good girl' is accidentally giving us intel... yes! That's gotta be it! But what if, in the unlikely event, that what Ray and Y/n have been saying is true... and there's a spy among the children? So in the end....... NO! I definitely can't leave them here!

     "Well then, what are we going to do then?" Y/n asked. "We've definitely got to find this source. But what about our plans to find Don and Gilda? If those two end up being Mama's sources-"

     "No problems." Norman interrupted. "We discover her source and get Don and Gilda on our side. It'll be two birds with one stone. If they happen to be the spies, we could turn them into our trump card." Y/n internally frowned. So that's what you want?

     "We'd control the information flow and derail the enemy." Ray explained. "It wouldn't be impossible to turn this into our favor."

     "Yep!" Norman cheerfully said. "I've already laid out a net." He said. Y/n, Emma, and Ray looked at him surprised.

     They were about to speak until Don appeared. "Hey, break time is almost over! Let's start a second round!" The four nodded, saying they would be there in time.

      "She's in control. which is why she isn't making any moves although she has our identities. Unless we made any bold moves, she most likely won't ship us out early." Y/n told. So basically, we have another month and a half before the next shipment day. It should be safe to assume we have enough time.

     "Ray, how are things going with the transmitters?" Norman checked.

     "Just fine." Ray answered. Norman asked for a date. "Uh...Two weeks? No... ten days maybe."

     "Then let's put our plan in motion in ten days." Norman said.

      "What?!" Ray and Y/n yelled.

     "On November 8th, ten days from now, we will be executing our escape plan."

    "Woah!" Emma shouted. "Isn't that too much of a rush? Not that I mind..."

     Ray hit her on the head with his hand. "I mind! Mama's goal is to restrict us! That's why she won't take action until we do. Doesn't that mean we have time, then?!" Ray questioned.

    "Yeah, that's exactly why." Norman replied. "If we're able to figure out that much, then Mama definitely sees that way as well. Our goal is to be unpredictable to her. It's also way better to escape before winter approaches. Anyways, ten days is plenty of time!" Norman smiled. "We had no idea what Mama's next move would be, so we prepared quickly. All we have to do is finish those preparations!" He then put a finger to his palm. "Mama has no intention of hiding that she has a spy among us in the first place. She isn't making it obvious, but if she truly wanted to hide it from us, she would have Sister act like she's only monitoring us the eldest. She's trying to trick us into thinking we have enough time."
