#Chapter 11 – Warning

Karl hands me the report, his expression unreadable. I can feel his gaze on me as I pick up the stack of
papers and scan the first page.

might have come storming in here with zero evidence and a bit of a vendetta, but we haven’t been on
the best of terms for a while now. He can’t really blame me for thinking it was him. Wouldn’t he suspect
me too if something like this happened to him?
