Chapter 81

We walked towards the car, the anticipation of the upcoming mission hanging in the air. Jax took the driver’s seat while Vera settled in the back. As I sat next to Jax, he began to brief me on the details of our new case.

“Alright, listen up,” Jax started, his tone serious and focused. “We’ve been assigned to investigate the suspicious death of a prominent businessman, Marcus Sullivan. He was found dead in his office yesterday morning, and initial reports suggest foul play.”

I nodded attentively, absorbing the information as Jax continued to provide more details about the case. He outlined the potential suspects, the known connections of the victim, and the various leads we would need to pursue.

As Jax delved deeper into the investigation, Vera’s observant eyes caught my distracted demeanor. Sensing something was amiss, she leaned forward from the backseat, her voice filled with concern. “Hey, are you okay? You seem a bit off,” she asked, her eyes searching mine.
