Chapter 6

Andrew called Emma 17 times. She didn't answer any of them. He sent her three messages: [Emma, where are you?]

[I saw your pathology report.]

[Call me back.]

Every single one was met with radio silence.

He had David track down her address. She definitely wasn't with her parents; David had just spoken to her mother, who confirmed Emma had already headed back to Capital City.

Finally, the landlord's registration records provided a lead. David discovered that Emma had rented a small apartment in the Sunrise Quarter. She rented with a three-month deposit, and the contract was signed last month.
