Chapter 43: A new wolf?

“Tell me everything,” Axel says, taking a seat and gripping a pen in his hand. Clearly, Adriana didn't have to wake him up.

I regal him with the entire story and watch Adriana as she hears the full version for the first time. I tell them both how I believe that, though my mother started her own suicide, Marc was the one to finish it. No details are spared as I explain Marc’s reasons for hating me and wanting me dead, though I know this won’t help us solve anything but if I’m telling the story, I may as well tell the whale thing to the only two people willing enough to ask for it.

“And you tried to get a hold of her?” he asks me, raising a brow.

“Yes, multiple times,” I say, nodding. Axel looks like he is in deep thought before he leans back and steeples his hands.

“But you got no response? Not even a sound?” Axel is asking.

“Uh, there was a strange static noise,” I recall thinking deep on the matter. Axel frowns and shakes his head.

“Static? Like an old tv?” Adriana asks.
