"I think those five-thousand-dollar tickets are part of their plan. Only something costly and attention-grabbing enough could draw everyone's attention toward money and envy right after they go missing, therefore covering up their actual objective." "These young men are meticulous indeed," the slightly older officer remarked from beside as he wrote in his notebook. I was allowed to first return to the dormitory after the questioning. This was my first time being left alone in the very spacious Room 412. The scent of expensive perfume from my roommates' parents still lingered in the air, mixing with the smell of panic and despair. I sat at my desk, turned on the table lamp, and opened my text

"And we'll be the ones standing on top of it all." The two women toasted again, the glasses clinking in a sinister celebration of their twisted plans. What they didn't know was that the walls were closing in on them, and their intricately woven web of deceit was about to come unraveled in ways they could never have imagined. The sterile smell of the hospital filled Clyde's senses as he walked down the quiet corridor leading to Richard's private room. His steps were heavy, his mind burdened with the weight of

a young officer summarized. I nodded calmly. "Yes. I think the five-hundred-dollar tickets were part of their plan. An expensive, flashy event would make everyone focus on money and jealousy after they vanished—hiding what was really going on." "These girls are surprisingly calculated," an older officer remarked, jotting notes in his book. After the questioning, I was allowed to go back to the dorm. For the first time, Room 412 felt huge and empty with just me inside. The lingering smell of expensive perfume from the parents mixed with fear and despair, hanging heavy in the air.

The scene around the room was still the same from the time the murder happened. The room was locked. Secured with a digital lock. The only one who can come in are the police officers and the hotel staffs. They are the only one who knows the passcode. The police eagerly searched the area. Not letting to skip on a clue that can help in solving the mystery. The room was indeed cozy, consisting of a huge living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom. A pattern of white and cerulean tiles was shown inside accompanied by the indoor plants of different types and sizes.

Yeah, he'd learned to practice patience, but dealing with the police while they questioned Betty had just about driven him to the edge of reason. He opened the car door for her, holding her elbow as she climbed in. Daylight had waned, and the parking garage was dimly lit, the sound of other hospital visitors echoing through the cement structures. Betty listened for other things. Furtive footballs on the pavement. The click of a gun safety being released. The slide of fabric or the soft huff is a breath. Someone had tried to kill Dan just a few weeks ago, and there was no reason to believe that person would be content to let him live. The road went quiet as he stepped around the car. The soun

He had no idea how he made it to the morgue, but eventually he snapped out of it. "You'll have to brace yourself, Mr. Terrason," said the forensic doctor, but he sounded so far away. The white sheet was pulled back. The body was burned beyond recognition, but the diamond ring on the finger struck Samuel like lightning. His chest tightened until he couldn't breathe. The room spun. He nearly collapsed, catching himself against the wall. "No… this isn't possible…" His hand hovered over the ring, trembling, then recoiled as if burned. Reality was worse than anything he'd imagined.

“Maybe he’s in danger, or maybe he’s trying to save himself—I don’t know. But something might have happened to him.” I exhaled. “Then what are we doing here?” She sighed. “Gathering evidence. Follow me.” Her hand gripped my wrist, pulling me through the long corridor. The lights above flickered erratically, bright, dim, then briefly dark, as if the hallway was breathing with an unstable rhythm, until we stopped in front of the Red Room. A room marked with an X… a room I somehow already knew what was inside. “You know the code. Open it,” Rose said.

The room smelled different, like cedarwood and something savory. The only private possessions he seemed to have on his bedside table were a dog-eared copy of "Kitchen Confidential," a small framed portrait of an elderly couple which she assumed to be his parents, and a leather-bound diary. A silver wedding band lay beside them. Grace found herself staring at it longer than necessary. The sound of the front door opening drove her rushing back into the living room, her heart racing like if she had been caught doing something illegal. Max appeared with a box in his arms, looking curiously at her hot cheeks. "Everything okay?"

The lock clicked, I slid inside. The room was dark, but my eyes adjusted quickly. Wolves see better in shadows, I’ve never shadowed. The chamber is sparse. Too sparse. A bed, a desk, a wardrobe. Nothing personal, nothing that spoke of who Liam actually is beneath the handsome face smiles and careful lies except for the closet. I moved towards it, my pulse but sharp. The door opened to show hanging clothes, perfectly arranged, I pushed them aside and found a panel hidden, but not hidden well enough for someone who knows what to look for.
