The serene evening they had been hoping for was quickly shattered by the message Ethan had received. His phone buzzed again, and this time his expression turned even graver.

Lena’s breath caught in her throat. “Andrew?” she repeated, her heart pounding. “What about him?”

“He’s gone missing. And the last person who saw him… is someone we don’t trust.”
