( chapter 4, part 5… ) With a noncommittal deep sigh, Detective Harry Stone placed the two documents back within the file folder before closing it and placing it atop the other two and reaching out for the next file folder. This file was a bit heftier than the Mitchell Abrams folder, but not as...

( chapter 4, part 4… ) The file had a dossier of sorts, showing a list of achievements and accomplishments within. The files of white papers were at least six pages long. Raising his eyebrow with scepticism at such glowing accolades, Detective Harry Stone merely skimmed over the detailed text...

( chapter 4, part 6… ) The interior of the office of the founding chairman of Hoatzin Incorporated was a more imposing sight to behold than the man sitting at a simple black metal desk with little to no sentimental adding of personal significance. A cold and calculating demeanour was plastered...

( chapter 4, part 3… ) The school’s bell had just let out a sharp ringing to signify the start of Luncheon and free period at ten-fifty five that morning to allow the gaggle of teenagers time to gather themselves ready for mealtime. The insipid cesspool of rebellious angst was vibrant as the...

( chapter 4, part 2… ) As hard as I tried, I could not fall asleep. The worry and fear of what was happening to me was just unbearable. I turned back to look at Darius but found him no longer in the chair in the corner, nor anywhere in my field of vision. I glanced around the dimly lit hospital...
