PROMPTS FOR SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
Eve had let out an annoyed huff when he mentioned that. She attempted a subtle glance around to see if she could catch what he saw but did not see anything.

She guessed it'd be preferred if it was the GDA and not a threat, but she was still going to be pissed if it was the GDA doing the watching. "I'm sure we can lose them." If it was some device tracking them, then she had no issue with destroying it given the opportunity.
