In Coravela, Hesperia, Marcus had just gone to bed after experiencing a severe anxiety attack. It was almost 4 am, and Frederick had to take him for a walk along the beach to help him calm down. Just as Marcus was beginning to drift into an uneasy sleep, the light from his phone caught his attention.

“Mr. Bartz…”

“Who’s calling?”

This is Darius Richarde

attorney and representative of Mr. Peter Palmer.”

Marcus sat up abruptly, his instincts screaming that something was wrong. Peter wouldn’t have given out his personal number unless it was an emergency. A chill ran down Marcus’s spine.

“This is him. What’s happened?”

“Sir, it’s imperative that you come to Galea, Valentia.

“What happened to Peter? Tell me, what’s going on?” Marcus demanded, gripping his forehead with one hand as a headache began to build.

“Sir… Mr. Peter Palmer was involved in a car accident Unfortunately, he… he didn’t survive.”

The phone slipped from Marcus’s hand, clattering to the floor. He fell to his knees, his vision blurring as he fumbled to pick up the phone again.

“Frederick… Frederick… Frederick!” Marcus cried out, his voice breaking with desperation.

Frederick rushed in and picked up the phone, steadying Marcus’s trembling body as he answered.

“This is Frederick Sanders. Who’s speaking?”

“This is Darius Richards, attorney for Mr. Peter Palmer. I regret to inform you that Peter was killed in a car accident. Mr. Bartz is the only one authorized to make decisions regarding Mr. Palmer’s estate. It’s urgent that he comes to Galea immediately.”

“Could you repeat what happened?” Frederick asked, his deep, raspy voice shaking slightly.

“Mr. Peter Palmer passed away in a car accident. According to the police report, his vehicle veered off the road and went down a ravine.”
