Keeper of Secrets

Oscar was taken to another room, where a contract was put on the desk in front of him. He picked up the pen and signed his name straightaway, though he did wonder afterwards whether this had been the right thing to do. But if it was the only way to learn the truth, he had no other choice. Once it was signed and sealed, Alex sat down and began to tell Oscar about the mysterious eggs that had begun all of this.
As the secrets began to escape, Oscar could barely believe his ears. Whatever he’d been imagining, it wasn’t this. Could this truly be happening? All he could do was sit in silent shock.
