All Questions, No Answers

"Are you a murder magnet?" Penelope mutters, studying the scribbled flow chart I've created.

"I don't know. Maybe." I rub between my eyes with a groan, the tension building behind my forehead. "Has Logan responded to your texts yet?"

Penelope glances at her phone. "Nope. Radio silence."

The lack of communication from Logan only amplifies my unease. "I need to know what they found inside the Fernsby Mansion. This waiting is killing me."

Penelope squints at the paper I've doodled all over, taking a sip of wine. She's on her second glass since I've been home to explain everything that's happened. "At this point, we should probably assume the worst."

I nod, my throat tightening. "So, we assume Jonathan Fernsby is dead." My hand trembles slightly as I pick up the pen and scrawl 'WHY?' next to Fernsby's name on my makeshift flow chart.
