As soon as Martin arrived in Starstream City, he drove straight to the site of Edgar's accident. The road was quiet, lit only by a few dim streetlights.
He bent down and placed a single white rose at the edge of the scene, bowing his head for a moment in quiet respect before rising to his feet.
Then he turned back toward his car, scanning the empty road as if the ghosts of that night might step into view.
The incident had happened around this same hour of the night.
Martin reached into his bag and pulled out his special camera. He moved slowly across the asphalt, stopping at each angle, each corner, capturing the scene frame by frame.
The old investigator's photos weren't bad, but he never trusted inherited conclusions.
He recreated the entire process himself, following the original procedure as well as his own methods.
After the photos, he walked to the point where Edgar's car had come from. He stood there, imagining the headlights cutting through the night.
