Day 15 — 7:15 AMAlison's Apartment, MakatiAlison had one message written at the top of her notebook.Ask Daniel what happened to the inspection report.The anonymous sender had repeated the same clue twice. That alone didn't make it true, but it made the question impossible to ignore.She checked her phone.Investigator Agustin Reyes had sent an update.AGUSTIN: Daniel Flores confirmed our meeting for 9:30 AM. I'll meet you at the records office. Please let him speak without showing him the anonymous messages.Alison replied with a simple acknowledgment.Then she opened the photograph of her father.Carlos Carter had been gone for twenty years. For most of Alison's life, she'd remembered him through Elena's stories: a hardworking man who sold fishballs, loved his family, and died in a tragic accident.Now she knew he had been Ricardo Walker's son. He had worked as a personal driver for the Walker family, carried questions about his mother, and apparently worried about a vehicle he h

Day 17 — 6:50 AMAlison's Apartment, MakatiAlison woke with a single thought.The authorization file.For days, she had chased fragments of her father's past: a photograph, two letters, an incomplete police report, and anonymous messages that seemed to arrive whenever she uncovered something important.Now she finally had a specific lead.The original vehicle assignment register contained the name M.

The box is stil

Day 19 — 9:05 AMAlison Carter arrived at the café fifteen minutes before the agreed meeting time.She chose a table near the window, where she could see the entrance and the street beyond it. Agustin had offered to accompany her, but she had declined. Teresa Vale had agreed to speak with her, and Alison wanted to give the woman a chance to explain herself without feeling surrounded by investigators.Still, Alison had shared the meeting location and time with Agustin. She had also forwarded every message from the anonymous sender to their investigator.She wasn't going to confuse independence with recklessness.Her coffee sat untouched beside her phone.At exactly nine fifteen, a woman in her late fifties entered the café. She wore a cream blouse beneath a dark cardigan and carried a brown leather handbag that appeared older than the phone in her hand.She scanned the room, then approached Alison's table."Miss Carter?""Alison, please."The woman hesitated before sitting down."I'm T
