Chapter 50

"This miserable state is borne by the wretched souls of those who lived without disgrace and without praise."

Dante Alighieri

I didn't go back to the office after my visit in the monastery. Emma was doing late shift today, taking care of all the phone calls. Ricky was out and I didn't want to bother him. When I tried to get in touch with Zach, a woman answered the phone. She sounded like she could have been his mother, and that was a clear indication that maybe I should give him some space. I felt guilty that I left him alone when the other officers showed up and seriously considered telling him the truth about me.
