Trouble ahead

Matthew had been anxiously waiting for Simone's report for days. He knew that sending him to investigate Nathaniel's death was the right decision. However, he was distraught, as he couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that had been gnawing at him since his son's passing.

As Simone walked into his office, Matthew tried to keep his emotions in check, but his hands trembled slightly as he observed the men coming inside for the report. However, he kept a stoic face.

"Hello, sir," Simone said. "I'm done with my preliminary investigation."

"I could guess from our last conversation. Tell me, Simone," Matthew said, his voice hoarse. "What did you find out?"
