Tabitha heard the word “Em” being uttered, but before she could figure out if the word referred to Ethan, the radio went silent again. At once, she grew anxious.

Emmanuel turned off the radio and reached toward Naomi, then made a beckoning motion.

Naomi understood this and immediately handed him the envelope.

Emmanuel opened the envelope, glanced at the so–called evidence inside it, and began to examine the folder in earnest.
