I nod, feeling a mix of curiosity and concern. “Thank you, how were you able to gather information on Rita?” I ask, skipping straight to appendix two to read the detailed report on the investigation findings. The pages are filled with meticulous notes and observations, painting a detailed picture of Rita. “We hired a forensic personnel to take care of it,” she explains, her tone confident.

Then he gave the final order. “Make this go away.” Nathan’s eyes hardened. “Quietly.” Two days later, the city police issued a brief public report about a fatal accident on the highway just outside the downtown district. According to the report, a private investigator named Victor Lang had died when his car suddenly lost control and crashed into a concrete barrier. The authorities concluded that the accident was likely caused by mechanical failure. But when Caleb received the news later that evening, a cold realization settled in his chest. Victor had called him only hours earlier, saying he had found something important connected to the hospital scandal. And now he was dead.

She stood inside a room with two investigators, dressed in the most expensive clothes, looking as if she hadn't just been told the most tragic news possible. "Your sister's car was recovered an hour ago. It is badly damaged; the crash and the water pressure crushed it completely. In this situation, there is no possibility of survival." One of the investigators explained, a pained look on his face. "So? Where is the corpse?" Mitari questioned instead. The female investigator raised an eyebrow at her before sighing.
