Missing Pieces

Chapter 115: Missing Pieces

Diane was staring blankly at the floor, her thoughts refused to settle.

Something wasn't right.

The pieces were all there—Adrian's sudden release, the mysterious funding, Senator Malcolm Raines—but they didn't fit. 

There was something she was missing, something just out of reach.

She rubbed her temples, replaying every conversation, every detail, every moment leading up to this.

Rachel had kept records.

Adrian escaped from this damned prison…

And now a senator was protecting him?

It didn't add up…

Why would Raines risk his career, his influence, for Adrian Ravenhood? Adrian wasn't valuable. 

He wasn't discreet. He wasn't even smart.

There had to be more.

Something bigger. Something hidden.

Gabriel stirred beside her, his voice was still with sleep notes. "You're thinking too hard."

Diane breathed out heavily. "Not hard enough."
