Chapter 79

The station was still buzzing with frenetic energy, officers darting in every direction, their voices overlapping in a chaotic symphony of urgency.

The unanswered question hung heavily in the air: how did the culprits vanish without a single trace? It defied logic, and the frustration was palpable.

At that moment Kai stepped into the detectives department, his calm demeanor a stark contrast to the turmoil around him.

He hadn't made it more than a few steps when Elvis, the tech-savvy officer, approached him, his face tight with urgency.

"Kai, the chief's been looking for you. And he's not happy."

Without a word, Kai nodded and made his way to the chief's office. As he opened the door, the chief's voice erupted like a thunderclap.

"Why the hell didn't you pick up your goddamn phone yesterday, Kai?"

the chief roared, slamming his hand on his desk for emphasis. His face was flushed, the veins in his neck bulging with frustration.
