On the way home, I rested against Carter's chest, feeling his warmth and listening to his steady heartbeat.

From my own death to Penelope collapsing, Esmee's car accident, and now Ethan's.

The only survivor was barely holding onto life.

I clung tightly to Carter's shirt, unable to understand who could be so cruel.

What had the Sanders done to deserve such madness?

"Carter, haven't you found anything about the Carlines yet?" I asked, frustration rising in my voice.

Carter gently stroked my head, his voice soft. "I had someone look into it again, but the conclusion is the same. As far as the Carlines go, there's no deep grudge with the Sanders." "And what about the owner

of the garage, Fabian Carline? Have you found anything on him

Ethan's death triggered a rush of anger in me, and I was desperate to uncover the truth.

"He has no connection to the Carlines, but the garage itself has an interesting history."

I quickly looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Many years ago, that area was nothing more than a mass burial site. After the country's big push for development, especially in the city, old buildings were demolished to make way for skyscrapers, and even fields and rural areas were taken by developers. That area, however, didn't have the economic boom other areas did. There were no shopping malls or major projects, so a real estate developer never built there i about 30 years ago, someone bought the land and turned it into a garage, which made sense given cost of the land." "You said 30 years ago? Fabian is only in his 30s, right?

"Exactly. The person who bought it and built the garage was named Lionel Cress."

The more I listened, the more confused I became. "Do hey have any connection?"

"From the information we've gathered, no. It seems to have been a standard real estate transaction.

"Do you have any details on Lionel?"

He was the first to build something on the former mass burial site, so if there was something shady, it would likely be him.
