The Game of Lies

Chapter 16: Testing the Waters

As Top, Lexus, and Arrah delved deeper into the leads they had uncovered, Top's mind buzzed with a sudden realization. With Valentine's Day fast approaching and Elisha's new flower shop in full swing, he saw an opportunity to put their suspicions to the test.

"Hey Lexus," Top began, "I have an idea. What if we try something to see if this Elisha from the game and the owner of the flower shop are the same person?"

Intrigued, Lexus leaned in, eager to hear what Top had in mind. "What's your plan?"

"Well," Top explained, "I was thinking we could use a dummy account to order flowers from Elisha's shop for Valentine's Day. But here's the twist – we'll only provide the delivery details and include a letter that only the Elisha from our in-game conversations would recognize."

Lexus nodded, understanding the significance of Top's plan. "That's clever. It could help us confirm if the Elisha we know in the game is the same person running the flower shop."

With their plan in place, Top and Lexus prepared to put it into action, their hearts pounding with anticipation. But as they embarked on this risky endeavor, one question lingered in their minds: Would their bait be enough to lure out the truth about Elisha's identity?
