Martin left the Hale estate at full speed and went straight home. Once inside, he spread the documents across his desk.
His eyes moved over the pages slowly, absorbing each line.
The accident had occurred overseas while Edgar was on vacation, a strategic location the enemy chose because it was outside the Hale family's influence.
He checked the dates of Edgar's trip and cross-checked the list of companions, only to find that Edgar had been traveling alone all along.
Then he traced the path from one city to the next, following the trail Edgar had taken throughout his trip, searching for the real reason behind his unusual route.
His chest tightened when he looked back at the date and time of the accident. His hands curled into tight fists, anger twisting in his chest.
When he realized he had crumpled the paper, he forced himself to let go.
He turned to the next page, revealing a series of photos from the accident scene.
