It was a mystery where the detective was being played by a serial killer, leaving small clues in each of his victims. Alice liked mystery movies and comic books.

It was much more complicated.

I was nothing but a mess of grief and rage. The whole room went silent. Alex's grip on my shoulder loosened. His eyes weren't just sharp anymore.

"So you killed them?" he asked quietly. Through blurry tears, I looked up. "I only said they deserved to die. I didn't kill them. I hadn't even made my move yet, and they just… died.

Norman continued to pace around. “Do you remember it now?” Freyja let out a chuckle suddenly and said, “Ms. Mills didn’t kill herself in my script.

As an investigative journalist, I had a knack for seeking out the unexplained, drawn to the mysteries that others preferred to ignore. The recent string of brutal murders had captured my attention, not only for their sheer savagery but for the inexplicable nature of the attacks. The rumors whispered in dark corners hinted at something beyond the scope of mere human cruelty. It was the perfect story, the kind that could make or break a career.

I desperately wanted to know but from the looks of it, Eric wasn't planning on telling me. Could he have committed a crime of some sort? That had to be it. But what? Murder? Theft? A heist?
