Searching For Marigold

"Heavens above! Mary has been abducted?!" Brian bolted out of the room upon hearing the news, only to be forcefully restrained by Grace and Evans.

"Mere moments of distraction, and this is what happens... If only I had personally accompanied her!" Brian roared, pounding his fist against the office wall, causing crimson blood to seep from his knuckles and drip to the floor.

However, the last person seen with her, her university peer Gill, remains unconscious in the hospital. She appears to have been poisoned and is unable to divulge any information regarding Mary's whereabouts."

Brian's eyes flashed with a devilish crimson glow. "That woman... that vile woman has done this! Let me find her and tear her limb from limb!"
