As the investigation thickened, there were more interrogations. Taxi drivers and store staff that were present and open along the scene of the crime were interrogated. All the CCTV around there were also checked. Truly, Aiden was determined to leave no stone unturned.

On closer inspection, he found a hole in the ground at the back of the room. He moved closer. "Shit!"

He immediately announced, his voice steady as he said into his lapel microphone. "All units, update: I have a new lead. Follow my GPS instructions!" Then, he lowered himself into the hole"
