The crime scene was processed with the usual efficiency, but Casie felt the weight of the note in her pocket like a stone. As she and Rick drove to meet the Captain, she stared out the window, mind racing through possibilities.

The first two were found in abandoned buildings, but this one..."

It didn't take a genius to connect the dots. Now, sitting in the stark, impersonal office of a private investigator, Roberto felt the weight of that choice. He wore Adrian's face, but he was Roberto in his soul, and his soul was on fire. Leo Gallagher, the PI, was a man shaped by decades of cynicism. His office was a testament to his trade—cluttered, dusty, and smelling of stale secrets. "I've been retained to find a man named Dante Francesco ," Roberto said, his voice devoid of emotion.

I wasn't going to let this go "You know more than you're telling me, and I won't let it go until you tell me what you know. You've always prided yourself on being open and honest, and right now you aren't. Please just tell me, for my own peace of mind?" Mum exhaled slowly and then looked me directly in the eye "Her Book Of Light going missing immediately peaked our suspicions, so we started asking questions but all the Police would confirm to her parents was that she had sustained a head wound, and the medical examiner concluded that she must have hit her head on a rock or something.
