Chapter 1985

As the sky darkened, Lucinda noted the passing of three hours.

The officers dispatched to the Paynes’ house had not yet returned.

Without access to her phone or a clock in the room, she relied on her sense of time.

She couldn’t help but summon an officer and inquire, “What time is it now?”

“It’s already seven o’clock.

“Seven already?” Lucinda was taken aback, realizing it was evening.

“Sir, the officers who went to the Paynes’ house for my belongings haven’t returned.

The officer looked puzzled.
