Will paused for a long moment, weighing up his options. Was it too soon to bring Elijah in on this? But he was going to need the man on side, and he had to do something to get past this suicide mission Elijah seemed to be on, simply because nobody else seemed to care as much as he did.
With a quick check into the hallway, Will moved away from the door and dragged a desk chair over to sit close, facing Elijah so he could speak softly and not be overheard. “Listen,” he said quickly, his voice low. “Nobody has to die. I’m gonna help you, alright? But I gotta know I can trust you. I think I can. It’s worth your while not to rat me out.”
