“Why don’t we finish it together?” Rosalynn suggested, picking up a box of fast food and starting to eat.
Observing her refined manner of eating, Brian’s lips curled into a smile of approval, and he too began
to dine.
The meal, although mundane in appearance, tasted superior to the finest feast, simply because they
shared it together.
Upon finishing, the ring of Rosalynn’s phone punctuated the moment.
It was an unknown caller.
Glancing at Brian, she answered, “Yes, hello?”
“Good day, Miss Fuller. This is police department speaking.”

The voice on the other end belonged to a police officer.
Straightening up, Rosalynn greeted, “Yes, hello?”
Brian leaned in, attentively eavesdropping.

asleep in his vehicle, intoxicated.
Upon questioning, he admitted to driving under the influence and causing the accident.”
The police have apprehended the culprit of the crash? And it was merely a case of drunk driving?
Rosalynn found it hard to believe.
“Is this merely an accident then?” Rosalynn inquired.
“For now, it appears to be an accident. We’ll delve deeper in our inquiries,” answered the officer.
“I appreciate the update. Thank you,” she expressed her gratitude, ending the call.
Brian, with a furrowed brow, queried, “That was the police?”
“Yes, they’ve identified the driver responsible for the crash.”
She relayed the details provided by the police.
A shadow crossed Brian’s face as he probed, “You’re certain you’re unacquainted with this man named
Darrion Lewis?”
After a moment’s reflection, Rosalynn affirmed with a nod, “I’m certain I’ve never met him. The police
report stated he was intoxicated, yet he drove with deliberate precision. It’s as though he was targeting
me. I have a strong hunch he rammed into me intentionally.”
Brian gave a reassuring nod.
“I’ll have Edwin dig deeper into this individual.”
He was reaching for his phone to contact Edwin when it rang.
It was Edwin on the line.
Brian picked up immediately.
“Edwin, have you uncovered anything?”
“Mr. Hughes, the driver at fault is Darrion Lewis, an employee from Moreno Group in Skrix. The police
have him in custody. His record indicates a daughter in college and a wife working at Moreno Group.
Additionally, Darrion is battling late-stage gastric cancer.”
Brian’s eyes narrowed in contemplation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe details seemed mundane, yet something didn’t add up.
For instance, why would someone with severe cancer consume heavy alcohol?
Could it be despair or perhaps a scheme to secure his family’s future after his passing?
With this thought, Brian instructed, “Edwin, look into his recent contacts, especially anyone he spoke to
right after the accident.”
If this accident was indeed orchestrated, then this driver must have communicated with the mastermind
soon after the event.
Identifying the first person he called could lead us to the puppeteer.
“Understood.”
Edwin resumed his investigation into Darrion’s connections.
Rosalynn, understanding the gravity, remained silent, awaiting the outcome of the probe.
Shortly after, Edwin’s call came through again.
“Mr. Hughes, I’ve done some digging. Darrion’s been in touch with several colleagues, his family, and
notably Beal Forbes, the Moreno family’s butler in Skrix. The last calls on his record were to Beal.”
