The Missing Seconds

JACKSON.I watched the last few seconds of Devon's video at least ten more times, but I already knew I wouldn't find a different ending. Every replay stopped at the exact same moment. Devon opened his mouth to say the name, the picture froze, and the screen turned black. It wasn't just frustrating. It felt personal, as if someone had reached through time and stolen the one answer we needed most. The more I watched it, the more convinced I became that this wasn't an accident.I finally closed my laptop and looked at Daniel."I'm done guessing."He nodded."So what now?""I'm calling Olivia."Daniel smiled slightly."If anyone can tell us what happened to that file, it's her."Olivia had worked with me for years whenever cases involved computers or digital evidence. She trusted almost no one, and that was exactly why I trusted her. Less than an hour later, she arrived at the storage facility carrying a laptop, several cables, and a small black equipment case. She greeted us with a quick

Finding Malinda

JACKSONThe moment I learned Malinda had been the accountant who requested Conrad's confidential ledger, I stopped thinking of her as just another missing witness. Everything about this case suddenly looked different. Devon had risked his life to leave us clues that pointed toward her, and now I finally understood why.

A Race Against Time

JACKSON.The moment Daniel told me the men in the black SUV were asking about Malinda, I made a sharp turn in the middle of the road. Cars behind me blasted their horns, but I barely heard them. My heart was beating too fast to care about angry drivers. Conrad had found the same trail we had, and that meant time had just become our biggest enemy. If his people reached Malinda first, weeks of searching could disappear in a single afternoon.I grabbed my phone and called Daniel while driving.He answered after the third ring.“Hello?”"Listen carefully.""I'm here," he answered immediately."Do not approach them."There was a short silence."You want us to let them walk around?""Yes. But keep your eyes on every one of them. If they're Conrad's people, they'll make a mistake."Daniel let out a slow breath."And if Malinda shows up?"I tightened my grip on the steering wheel."Don't scare her. Don't confront anyone. I'll be there in a few minutes.""I understand."The call ended, but my
