I dialed the Director’s contact. I knew it was late and perhaps too much, but I prayed he would grant me an audience and, as I prayed, he did. I exhaled in relief.
“My child, you called?”
“Father, good evening. I… I shouldn’t call at this hour.”
“I am at H.O.W.L. You don’t need to be too modest. Tell me.”
“Father, I found something tangible, and I want to show it to everyone. If… if an urgent meeting can be arranged, I promise not to disappoint.”
It felt bold, especially coming from a new employee like me. The Director paused for a moment, and my heart thudded in my chest. Then, his voice came.
“Call an urgent meeting in the main hall. We will address the case of Mr. Hanba’s death again.”
My heart leapt in relief, and then he spoke again.
“You shouldn’t keep anyone waiting. I will also be there.”
“Alright, sir. Thank you.”
“Please, don’t mention it,” he said before disconnecting.
I stood frozen for a moment, trying to gather my thoughts. When I glanced at Quince, he was staring at me, eyes filled with admiration and curiosity.
“We should go to H.O.W.L now, Quince. We need to attend the meeting.”
“Wish I had a father-in-law at the top. That’d be beneficial,” he joked, and I smiled.
We hurried to my car and drove off. The ride was quick, and soon we parked at H.O.W.L. Entering the elevator, we ran into Mr. Gerald. He looked in a hurry, but when his eyes met mine, his jaw tightened, cold, angry, full of hatred.
“Mark my words, Snow. If this meeting doesn’t yield positive and tangible results… I will make your job a living hell.”
With that, he dashed into the elevator, and my chest sank. I bit my lower lip but said nothing. Quince and I followed, arriving at the main hall.

By now, most of the staff had arrived. Mr. Gerald, Quince, and I were the last. As I stepped in, I saw my brothers, Eshan and Roc.
I’d received their texts, telling me not to overwork myself, that they would handle things but I hadn’t replied. Seeing them here told me more than I wanted to know. Kashi had likely been brought in for questioning.
I bit my lower lip and walked up to Roc, who kissed my forehead.

Silence fell. Brown Fash’s photo appeared on the screen, drawing the attention of everyone in the room, including the Director.
“The young profiler is right,” said the Deputy Director, Mr. Sonny, after a long pause. “Who is Brown Fash again?”
