Elena read the note again.If Thomas gets control, Adrian disappears.Beneath it, Rebecca Vale’s signature was unmistakable. The final line, however, disturbed her more than the warning itself.Miriam Cross.“Why would Miriam have this?” Elena asked.Adrian stood behind her, staring at the photograph on her phone.“Because she was involved in the guardianship arrangement.”“Or because someone wants us to believe she was.”Bernard Owusu placed the printed court filing on the table.“We have three separate matters now. The questionable guardianship renewal, the missing consent, and this note. We cannot treat an anonymous photograph as conclusive evidence.”“Can we authenticate it?” Adrian asked.“Not from an image alone. We need the original or a reliable source.”Mara enlarged the photograph and examined its edges.“There’s a watermark on the paper. It might be from th

The address on Elena’s phone belonged to a house Adrian had not seen in twenty-six years.He knew the number before he knew why.The old Vale residence.The place where he had learned to ride a bicycle in the back garden.The place where his father had taught him to play chess.The place where, according to every official record, the family had left in 1995.Adrian stared at the message.Find the original audio before you find her.Then the second line appeared beneath it.The house still has the answer.“I don't like this,” Mara said.“Neither do I,” Bernard replied.Adrian slipped his phone into his pocket.“We're going.”Bernard immediately shook his head.“Not alone.”“I didn't say alone.”“You were thinking it.”Adrian gave him a look.Bernard ignored it.“If someone deliberately sent us there, we tre

The photograph remained on Adrian’s phone.No one touched it.No one spoke.Eight-year-old Adrian stood beside Thomas Vale at the old Vale residence, his small hand wrapped around the older man's fingers.Thomas was smiling.Adrian wasn't.And behind them, half-shadowed by the doorway, stood a man who looked unmistakably like Marcus Vale.Adrian stared at the image until his eyes began to hurt.“That’s my father.”Michael Cross didn't answer.Adrian looked up.“You know that man.”Michael's jaw tightened.“Yes.”Elena stepped closer.“Michael.”He finally looked at her.“That isn't Marcus.”Adrian's face hardened.“You just said you know him.”“I know who he was pretending to be.”The room changed.Elena looked back at the photograph.“Marcus.”“Michael.”The na

The phone kept ringing.Nobody moved.Mara stared at the screen.SAMUEL HARROWIncoming call.Adrian reached for it.Elena caught his wrist.“Wait.”The ringing stopped.A second later, a message appeared.You finally found Daniel's note.Adrian's face hardened.Another message followed.Now find the appointment.Mara immediately began tracing the number.“It's not coming from Samuel's usual device.”Elena looked at her.“Then whose?”“Unknown routing.”Michael stepped closer.“Can you locate it?”“Not yet.”Adrian looked at the screen.“Samuel is alive.”Nobody answered.The message was proof of contact, but not proof of safety.Elena picked up Daniel's note again.“Three days before Marcus's death.”Michael nodded.“Daniel w

For several seconds, Elena couldn't look away from the photograph.Two men wore Marcus Vale's face.One stood beside Graham Pell outside the Crosswind clinic.The other appeared faintly in the background, captured in a reflection from the clinic's glass entrance.And beneath the photograph, in handwriting Elena had been told belonged to her father's closest friend, were the words:THE ORIGINAL MARCUS DIED THREE DAYS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.Adrian took the photograph from her.“Read that again.”Elena did.Michael moved closer to the light.“Let me see.”He studied the faces, then shook his head.“This isn't proof.”Adrian looked at him sharply.“Of what?”“That two men were impersonating Marcus.”Michael pointed to the reflection.“We have a photograph with an uncertain date, an unclear face, and a handwritten statement whose author we haven't authenticated.”“You're saying we ignore it?”“No. I'm saying we don't turn a clue into a conclusion.”Elena nodded reluctantly.Michael was right
