I was sure if this mad search for the killer didn't end I would go mad. Once I reached home. I saw a familiar face staring at me. It was Mrs Morgan. I didn't know whether I should smile or grimace.

My eyes meet hers, before Shawn's, who is looking at me with that, ‘you've been caught’ stare.

I saw him at breakfast each morning, our routine held even in crisis, On the third night, I was in the library when Vera found me. “I need to show you something,” she said quietly.
