Meanwhile, Theodore testified as Aurora's alibi and bailed her out. By the time they left the police station, the sky had turned dark.

The night air felt chilly, and Aurora shivered in the cold. Theodore took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"The police said that he died two weeks ago," Theodore said. "You were the last person he saw before he died."

Aurora's eyes were still red, her face etched with fatigue.

"I have no idea. He did look for me then, and even beat me up. You know that, too. He offended way too many people, and all of them want him dead. He asked me for money the day he looked for me because he truly was at his wits' end."

"There's no need to explain," Theodore said, cutting her off. "I didn't say that you killed him, or I wouldn't have testified for you."

"Theo, I have no idea how or why he died. No wonder you couldn't find him no matter how hard you tried. As it turns out, he's dead. Someone threw his corpse into the river."
